as new: Asterina Loranthacearum Rehm var. javensis, A . suhglohulifera, Asterinella tjihodensis, 

 Limacinia graminella, Hypocrea Bambusae, Hypocrella lutulenta, Didyinella Pandani, 

 Astrosphaeriella bambusella, Massariopsis subslriata, Anthostomella graminella, A. bambusae- 

 cola, Par anthostomella bambusella. — Botryosphaeria inflata C. and M. and Physalospora 

 xanthocephala B. and S. are believed to be based upon immature stages of the same species, 

 and a form collected in Java, showing upon a dothidiaceous stroma yellow, pcrithecium-like 

 horns which have only unorganized cellular contents, is believed to be a later stage; it 

 is made the type of a new genus, Creomelanops, becoming C. xanthocephala (B. and S.) 

 V. H. — Segregation of hyaline-sporcd species of Corallomyces Berk, and Curtis into Cor- 

 allomycetella P. Henn. takes no account of diversity of imperfect spore forms on which 5 sec- 

 tions of the genus can be based; all can be distributed between Nectria and Letendraea. — • 

 Herpotrichia Schiedermayeriana var. Caldariorum P. Henn. is transferred to the Nectriaceae 

 and a new genus, Xenonectria erected to receive it. Chiaqaea Sacc. based on Otth's descrip- 

 tion of Nectria Ilippocastani is fallacious, but forms have since been discovered conforming to 

 the description; this name is retained and several forms hitherto regarded as sphaeriaceoua 

 are transferred to it, thus: Ch. rhodomela (Fr.) v. H. (Sphaeria rhodomela, Melanomina sau' 

 guinarium), and Ch. Hendersoniae (Fckl.) v. H. (Trematosphaeria porphyrostoma, Cucurbi- 

 taria Hendersoniae), Brown-spored Nectrias parasitic in perithecia of other forms are seg- 

 regated in a new genus, Weesea, of which W. Balansiae {Calonectria Balansiae) is the type. — 

 Hypocrea equorum Fckl. and H. merdaria Fr. are not distinguishable from Anthostoma. 

 Podospora Cesati and Bombardia Fr. are valid genera differing in characters of ascus and 

 stroma. Delitschia is rejected and its species variously distributed, the type becoming 

 Phorcys didyma. Sporormia differs from Scleropleella only in the separation of its mature 

 ascospores into their constituent cells; confusion has arisen owing to the fact that the same 

 species may develop on wood or on dung but grows more luxuriantly on the latter. Pleophrag- 

 mia Fckl. is rejected and its 3 species transferred to Pleospora. Rhynchostoma cornigerum 

 Karst. conforms to the section Entosordaria of Saccardo's Anthostomella; the sub-genus is 

 elevated to generic rank and species of Anthostomella as well as Par anthostomella unciniicola 

 and P. valdiviana Speg. are transferred to it. — The imperfect form of Didymella Pandani is 

 Septoriopsis Pandani. — Pterydiospora Javanica has violet spores when ripe. — Cladosphaeria 

 Sambuci-racemosae Otth is a small-spored form of Karstenula'hirta (Fr.) v. H. — Ophiobolus 

 consists at present of a mixture of dothidiaceous {Entodesmium) and sphaeriaceous {Leptos- 

 pora) types; the genus Leptosporopsis is erected to receive the dothidiaceous forms with long 

 spores, like Ophiobolus Rostrupii. Par anthostomella eryngiicola Speg. is distinct from An- 

 thostomella, but Maurinia Nies. is rejected; A. rostrispora (Ger.) Sacc. is transferred to Hep- 

 tameria foliicola (Sacc.) v. H. together with a number of other forms supposed to be 

 Anthostomellas. — F. Weiss.
