Died. l.c. p. 547. 
Stromate: ceatueret subcutaneous, minute, subglobose, pallid, 
mostly unilocular. Spores filiform-cylindric, variously curve 
40-48 (or even 60) x 1 yw, issuing in pinkish or yellowish tendrils ; 
sporophores very short or none. 
n dead fallen branches of Fraxinus excelsior. Rather 
common. Nov., Dec. The pyenidial stage of Cryptosphaeria 
millepunctata Grev. Scot. Crypt. Flor. pl. 201 (1826) = Sphaeria 
eunomia Fr. Syst. Myc. ii. 377 (1823) = Valsa eunomia Nits. 
(not V. Seipeincite Nits. which is Cryptosphaeria populina 
Sacc.)—The right name would appear to Be Cryptosphaeria 
eunomia Fcekl. Symb. Myce. p. 212. 
Both stages are common on fallen branches and twigs of Ash, 
but are easily overlooked on account of their minute size and. 
subcutaneous habit. The two stages occur intermixed. 
Distrib. Germany, Denmark. 
Doubtful Species. - 
Cytosporina hysterioides Cooke, in Grevill. 1887, xvi. 48. On 
slender twigs of Celtis. Kew Gardens. 
This name had better be completely dropped. Cooke’s own 
specimens show that there is no pyenidial wall, and that the 
dass are composed of spores Hinata ye 10-12 x 1-75=2-5 wu. 
notha Died. Pilz. Brand. p. 
On hae of peda ‘of Acer edicnileas Be A. Pseudoplatanus. 
The British specimens appear to be a Phomopsis, possibly 
Phomopsis notha Lind, Dan. Fung. p. 422. 
; is Magn. in van Hall, Annal. Mycol. 1903, 
i. 508. See af Brooks and Bartlett, in Annal. Mycol. 1910, 
viii. 174, pl. 3, f. 9 
eported from several English counties from Kent to 
Hereford, on “collar”? and roots of Ribes Grossularia. None 
of the specimens seen answered to the description, and the spores 
figured by Brooks and Bartlett have distinctly the ‘ walking- 
stick ’”’ shape of a Phomopsis B-spore 
Cytosporina Staphyleae Cooke, in Gievill 1887, xvi. 48. 
On twigs of Staphylea pinnata, Kew Gardens. This does not 
belong to Cytosporina. 
Cytosporina stellulata Sacc. Syll. ili. 602. 
On branches of Ulmus campestris. 
Said to be the pycnidial stage of Hutypella stellulata Nits. 
But this is improbable: the spermogone of this species should 
be Cytospora stellulata. The only specimens I have seen which 
could have been placed under Cytosporina stellulata were the 
B-spores of a Phomopsis, for in the same pycnidia could be found 
the ordinary A-spores of that genus.
