 and scutellate with a wavy margin, externally brownish-black 

 and verrucose, or wrinkled, reaching a diameter of 2 mm.; 

 hymenium plane, or slightly concave, surrounded by the up- 

 turned, blackish margin, pale-yellowish, or whitish; asci clavate, 

 reaching a length of 175 ^ and a diameter of 10-12 n, 8-spored; 

 spores filiform, nearly as long as the ascus, 1.5-2 y. in diameter, 

 no septa apparent; paraphyses filiform, freely branched. 



On bark of Juniper us. 



Type locality: Cinchona, Jamaica, altitude 4500-5400 feet. 



Distribution: Known only from the type locality.

A liberal quantity of this material was collected by W. A. 

 Murrill in 1908-1909. The host species was not named but 

 since only one species of Juniperus occurs in Jamaica it must 

 have been that, Juniperus lucayana.
