Peck: NEW SPECIES OF FUNGI 103 
3 cm. long, 1-3 mm. thick, hollow, dotted with minute dark-green 
points, green but paler than the receptacle ; asci cylindric or sub- 
clavate; spores oblong, straight or slightly curved, 15-20 long, 
5-6 » broad; paraphyses filiform. 
Among sphagnum. Stow, Massachusetts. September. 5. 
Davis. 
This species is similar to Leotia chlorocephala Schw., from which 
it differs in its gyrose or undulate receptacle, its punctate stem and 
its habitat. The stem is not pulverulent and the spores rarely 
show any vacuoles. 
Dothiorella aberrans 
Perithecia cespitose, few or many in a cluster, rarely single, 
globose or subglobose, erumpent, black ; spores numerous, broadly 
elliptic or subglobose, hyaline becoming slightly colored with age, 
5-8 » long, 4—5 » broad. 
Dead branches of papaw, Asimina triloba (L.) Dunal. Ober- 
lin, Ohio. May. F. O. Grover. 
This species differs from Sphaeropsis Asiminae E. & E. in its 
clustered perithecia and smaller spores ; and from Dothiorella 
Asiminae in its black perithecia and its larger spores at length be- 
coming slightly colored. In this character it makes an approach 
toward the genus Haplosporella, to which it might with almost 
equal propriety be referred.

patches ; hyphae erect, septate, often paler at the top, 5-8 / an 
spores forming one coil, subhyaline, 5- or 6-nucleate, obscurely
