loculi few and imperfect; pycnidial wall of dark brown inter-

The spores of the original specimen of C. taxifolia are exactly 
like those of C. Pinastri, but the sporophores are shorter. From 
Shrawley (Wores.), Dr. J. W. Ellis communicated a specimen, on 
leaves and twigs of Yew, which differed only in ue larger 
spores (7-9 X ly). CF. OC. Taxi Sace. Syll. iii. 271
