form of truncated cones. It may, however, be merely a variety of the latter, and I 
propose it with doubt as a new species. 
369.. S. HERBARUM, Fr. S. M. ii. 511. Taz. LIX. fig. 188, asci with sporidia, x 220. 
Sporidia oblong-elliptie, at first yellow, eventually brown, multicellular, varying in 
size and in the mode of arrangement in the asci, as will be seen by referring to the 
figures. |

370. S. RHIZOMORPHE, Kunze. Tas. LIX. fig. 139, ascus with sporidia and free sporidia, 
X 325. Sporidia crowded, brown, of rather a dark colour, but clear and transparent, 
0:0012 to 0-0016 inch long. From Surinam. | 
371. S. TUBÆFORMIS, Tode; Fr. S. M. ii. 516. Tas. LIX. fig. 140, ascus with sporidia, 
x 325. Sporidia biseriate or crowded, colourless, or in age with a dirty-brown tinge, 
elliptical or subeymbiform, 0:0005 inch long. | 
372. S. (SPHÆROPSIS ?) MACULÆFORMIS, Pers.; Fr. S. M. ii. 524. This is not a true Spheria. 
The perithecia produce only exceedingly minute, staff-like, colourless spermatia, not 
so much as 00002 inch long. 
373. S. (SPHÆROPSIS?) OLES, D.C.; Fr. S. M. ii. 489. No asci. Tag. LIX. fig. 141, 
fruit, x 325. Fruit consisting of subcylindrical, colourless, highly refractive spores, 
070007 to 0:0009 inch long. I could not make out the mode of attachment; a few 
of the spores had a sort of string, as in the right-hand figure; but I am doubtful 
whether it were a true peduncle, or a string of a kind of mucus in which the spores 
were imbedded. This appears to be the same plant as No. 298 in the Obtectæ. 
374. S. (SPHÆROPSIS P) LEPTIDEA, Fr. S. M. ii. 522. N ot a true Spheria. Fruit con- 
sisting of minute, colourless, straight or very slightly curved, subeylindrical spores, 
barely 0:0002 inch long. 
375. S. (SPHÆROPSIS ?) DUPLEX, var. Nari, Fr. S. M. ii. 520. Not a true Spheria. 
Fruit the same as in S. leptidea, Fr. 
376. S.? PUNCTIFORMIS, Pers.; Fr. S. S. 86. The perithecia contain colourless saccate 
bodies, grouped together as in Ta». LIX. fig. 142; but whether they are spores or im- 
perfect asci I cannot say, probably the latter. 
377. S. (SPELEROPSIS) Høprrz, Sow.; Fr. S. M. ii. 521. Fruit consisting of colourless 
cylindrical spores, 00008 to 0-001 inch long; not distinguishable from the fruit of 
S. Oleæ, D.C., excepting that the spores are rather narrower and not so refractive, 
and I observed no peduncles. 
378. S. (SPHÆROPSIS) Æeoronn, Pers.; Fr. S. M. ii. 526. The fruit is the same as in 
S. leptidea, Fr., supra. 
379. S. (Discosta*) Artocrzas, Tode; Fr.S.8. 151; S. M. ii 523. Tap. LIX. fig. 149, 
spores, X 325. The fruit consists of straw-coloured, curved, or almost straight spores, 
having an extremely delicate filiform appendage at each end. The average length of 
the spores without the appendage is 0:0007 inch. The spores are probably produced
