Monoicomyces Leptotrachelae nov. sp. 



Basal cell small, the lower half suffused with blackish; the subhasul 

 cell hardly distinguishable as such, owing to the densely crowded 

 branches and branchlets bearing perithecia and antheridia which 

 arise from it on either side of the main appendage, the basal cell of 

 which is about as broad as long, the subbasal abruptly narrower^ 

 edged externally with blackish, the suffusion extending up along the 

 margin of a short outcurved branch which arises from it distally and 

 externally; one or two hyaline stouter branches also arising from it 

 distally. Perithecia usually six in number, the stalk-cells moderate, 

 broad distally, the basal cells large and hardly distinguished from 

 the somewhat inflated venter, above which the body is subconical, 

 tapering gradually and subsymmetrically to the blunt apex; the 

 tip distinguished only by a slight irregularity of outline. Anther- 

 idial appendages usually eight, the stalk-cells arising close to that 

 of the perithecium, about twice as long as broad, the pair next above 

 slightly longer than broad and producing no antheridial cells, only the 

 lower of the two pairs above it, associated with antheridia; their cells 

 subequal and about as long as broad ; the whole appendage of nearly 

 equal diameter throughout, the terminal cells producing four to eight 

 stout branches of variable length, which are usually curved outward, 

 or even slightly recurved. Perithecia 75-110 X 20-27 fj.. Body of 

 antheridium 40 X 12 /x, its branches 40 X 5 /x. Total length to tip of 

 perithecium, largest, ISo n.

The primary appendage of this species recalls that of M. Echidno- 

 glossae, while its closely crowded perithecia and antheridia give it a 

 general habit not unlike that of M. Alcocharae. It is more closely 

 allied to the first of these species, but differs from the fact that the 

 subbasal paired cells in the antheridial appendages are not.associated 

 with antheridia which are produced only from the small pair next 

 above. 



Monoicomyces Stenusae nov. sp. 



Hyaline. Basal and subbasal cells subequal, small, but clearly 

 distinguishable. The primary appendage consisting of a small more 

 or less dome-shaped basal cell, separated from the small cell above by a 

 deeply blackened septum continuous with the outer blackened margin
