284 The North American Cup-Fungi 



Type locality: New Harbor, Newfoundland. 



Distribution: Known only from the type locality. 



The type of this species has been examined in the herbarium 

 of The New York Botanical Garden but unfortunately nothing 

 remains but the shells of the apothecia and loose ascospores. 

 The species seems to be distinguished by its small spores.
