314 The North American Cup-Fungi 



150 M and a diameter of 12-15 /x; spores partially 2-seriate, long- 

 ellipsoid, becoming 1-septate, later 3-5-septate, 10-12 X 25- 

 35 n, at first hyaline, becoming brown; paraphyses filiform. 



On bark of Fraxiniis. 



Type locality: London, Canada. 



Distribution : Known only from the t>pe locality. 



ExsiCCATi: Ellis & Ev. N. Am. Fungi 2633. 



Type material has been examined and agrees with the above 

 except that no asci were found in good condition, although spores 

 were present in abundance. This may be due to the age of the 

 material. Measurements were based on the original description. 

 This looks like a Pezicula with a colored spore. 



4. Dermatella Magnoliae (Berk. & Curt.) Seaver, comb. nov. 

 Cenangium Magnoliae Berk. & Curt.; Berk. Grevillea 4: 5. 1875. 



Apothecia erumpent in cespitose clusters 2 3 mm. in diameter, 

 the individual apothecia turbinate, black, reaching a diameter of 

 1 mm.; hymenium concave, or nearly plane, black, or brownish- 

 black; asci broad-clavate, reaching a length of 120 /i and a 

 diameter of 26 /x, 8-spored ; spores irregularly 2-seriate, broad- 

 ellipsoid, often curved, or sausage-shaped, densely granular 

 within, becoming 1-septate and brown, 9-12 X 24-30 ;u; paraphy- 

 ses filiform, slightly enlarged above, reaching a diameter of 3 ju. 



On branches of Magnolia glaiica, Per sea and Sassafras. 



Type locality: South Carolina. 



Distribution: South Carolina to Florida and Texas. 



Exsiccati: Rav. Fungi Am. 70. 



This was placed in the doubtful list by Groves. The brown 

 1-septate spores would place in the genus Dermatella as here 

 treated. 



5. Dermatella caryigena (Ellis & Ev.) Seaver, comb. nov. 

 Dermatea caryigena Ellis & Ev. Proc. Acad. Sci. Phila. 1893: 148. 1893. 



Apothecia erumpent in cespitose clumps of four to eight each, 

 nearly black, reaching a diameter of .5-. 75 /x, patelliform when 

 fresh, collapsing when dry; hymenium plane, or slighth' convex 

 when fresh, similar in color to the outside of the apothecium; 

 asci narrow-clavate, reaching a length of 75-90 n and a diameter 

 of 10 II, 8-spored; spores 1-seriate, or irregularly crowded, ellip- 

 soid, distinctly 3-septate, greenish-yellow to pale-brown, 6 X 

 12-15 jj.; paraphyses filiform, profusely branched, olivaceous- 

 brown.
