spores, constricted in the middle, about 15 x 4 pu, were seen at

what Cooke meant in giving the size (].c.) as “13 x 5 w’’; they 
might be immature ascospores of a Diaporthe.

type specimen of L. ulcerata, in Herb. Kew, is also the same

with the same spores and sporophores, although he ascribes to 
it spores 55-60 x 4 ». The length of the sporophores given by
