0:0010 to 00014 inch long. Perithecia roundish, rather pulvinate, very hairy, but 
the hairs are very short. On wood from Swan River. 
241. S. SUPERFICIALIS, n. s. Tas. LVII. fig. 25, asci with sporidia, x 420. Sporidia 
uniseriate, overlapping, elliptical, or subturbinate, rarely slightly curved, colourless, 
2-nucleate, 0-0003 to 0:0004 inch long. Perithecia hairy, subglobose, very small, 
seated on a hairy subiculum. Like some other Sphæriæ, combining the charac- 
teristics of the Villose and Byssisede. 
242. S. CAPILLIFERA, n.s. Tas. LVII. fig. 26, ascus with sporidia, X 325. Sporidia 
| uniseriate, slightly overlapping, rather dark brown, 1-2 nucleate, broadly elliptical, 
0:0003 to 00004 inch long. Perithecia globose, clothed with very short, rather stiff 
black hairs, seated on a pale subiculum, and furnished with a mammillate ostiolum.

243. S. INSPERSA, Berk. Tas. LVII. fig. 27, ascus with sporidia, x 325. Sporidia mostly 
(? always) uniseriate, colourless, subhyaline, elliptico-acuminate, 00005 to 00006 inch 
long. On wood from Swan River. Not distinguishable from S. pulvis-pyrius, except 
by the sporidia. 
244. S. RHODOMPHALOs, Berk. Ta». LVII. fig. 28, ascus with sporidia, and free sporidia, 
x 325. Sporidia biseriate, colourless or greenish, curved, subfusiform, uniseptate 
or with a bipartite endochrome, 00007 to 0:0008 inch long. On wood. Perithecia 
globose, with a distinct red circle round the ostiolum, which is frequently slightly 
depressed. Sporidia sometimes slightly constricted at the division, and with a 
nucleus in each partition, as in the right-hand figures. -—

variable, frequently, if not usually, with a division in the middle. qr eg

pearance in the sporidia, arising from the breaking-up of the endochrome " ivi- 
sions. The fruit of this plant should be particularly observed, - sed
