36 THAXTER. 



the base of the perithecial stalk-cell; basal cell somewhat darker, 

 separated by a slight constriction, distally slightly protruding between 

 an inner and an outer larger cell, each bearing two antheridia; the 

 outer externally convex, and followed by a similar external cell, also 

 bearing two antheridia, while above it three antheridia follow in a 

 vertical series, the uppermost subtended by the usual spinous process; 

 all the antheridia relatively long, with long appressed necks directed 

 obliquely upward in a coherent group. Stalk-cell of the perithecium 

 well developed, hyaline, broader distally, its distal septum horizontal 

 below the flattened group of basal cells; the body of the perithecium 

 becoming more or less well distinguished into a broader somewhat 

 inflated venter, a neck-portion subtendetl l)y a slight elevation, and a 

 somewhat shorter tip; the whole usually straight, tapering gradually, 

 and ending in a bluntly rounded apex subtended on either side by 

 minute papillae. Perithecia 125-195 X 30-40 ix stalk-cell 40-60 X 

 20-23 ju. Appendage proper, to tip of antheridia, 45-50 /x; its stalk- 

 cell 15-20 /x. Total length to tip of perithecium 200-310 /i. Spores 

 about 35 X 4 ju.

 Peradeniya, Ceylon; No. 1826 (Types) Borneo. 



This species belongs to the type separated under the name Zcugan- 

 dromyccs in my paper on Argentine Laboulbeniales. A comparison of 

 abundant material in good condition leads me to believe, however, 

 that the latter name should not be retained, and the Argentine species 

 on Scopacus lacvis should be changed to Stigmatomyces australis 

 nov. comb. 



Cryptandromyces Javanus nov. sp. 



Hyaline. Basal and subbasal cell of the receptacle somewhat 

 obliquely and asymmetrically associated, subequal, nearly twice as 

 long as broad. Stalk-cell of the appendage lying parallel to and closely 

 united with the subbasal cell of the receptacle, the distal end of which 

 is also in contact with it; the basal and subbasal cells of the appendage 

 subequal; or the former larger, bearing distally two erect series of 

 three or four antheridial cells separated by slightly oblique septa, 

 at first somewhat coherent and evanescent after separation. Stalk- 

 cell of the perithecium terminal in relation to the subbasal cell of the 

 receptacle, its base of the same width anrl somewhat compressed or 

 irregular, its distal end broader and obliquely related to the outer 

 basal cell of the perithecium above, the basal cells of which are well
