ridia, X 325. Sporidia uniseriate, I think (at least it seemed so from what appeared 
to be the remnants of the asci), dark opaque brown, almost black, globular or ellip- 
tical, 00006 inch long. = 
107. S. (DiATRYPE) MILLIARIA, Fr. S. M. ii. p. 370. Tap. XLVII. fig. 106, sporidia, 
x about 450. Sporidia crowded, curved, colourless, 00003 inch long. Resembling 
S. eutypa both in habit and fructification ; but the ostiola are more prominent, and 
the perithecia more crowded. |

the asci are in a mass, curved, usually rounded at the ends, 0-0002 inch long. On 
oak, very black, very crowded, well-named * limæformis.” Fries considers it a form 
of Sphæria spinosa.

by its black appearance and hair-like ostiola. |

X highly. Sporidia biseriate or crowded, 1-2- or 3-septate, or apparently so from
