76 TWENTY-EIGHTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. 
LOPHIOSTOMA JERDONI B. & Br. 
Bark of elm. New Baltimore. Zabriskie. Dead stems 
of raspberry. West Albany. October. 
LOPHIOSTOMA SCROPHULARIE 2. Sp. 
Perithecia scattered, minute, covered by the epidermis ; 
ostiola small, compressed, piercing the epidermis; asci 
cylindrical ; spores crowded or biseriate, subfusiform, uni- 
septate, with two large nuclei in each cell, strongly con- 
stricted at the septum and sometimes also between the 
nuclei, straight or slightly curved, colorless, .001’ long. 
Dead stems of Scrophularia nodosa. Green Island. 
October. 
Sometimes a small additional nucleus is seen at the 
extremities of the spore, thus making three in each cell. 
The smaller spores will separate this species from Z. angus- 
tilabra and L. sexnucleata, to which it is related. 
LoPHIOSTOMA TRISEPTATA 7. SP. 
Perithecia scattered, sunk in the wood, black, with a nar- 
row compressed’ ostiolum ; asci linear; spores uniseriate, 
rarely crowded, oblong-elliptical, triseptate, colored, .0006’— 
0007’ long, slightly constricted at the septa. 
Decaying wood. Buffalo. Clinton. Sterling. Cayuga 
county. August. 
LOPHIOSTOMA SPIRE 72. Sp. 
Perithecia scattered, sunk to the wood, closely covered 
by the bark which is pierced by the compressed ostiola ; 
spores crowded or biseriate, elongated-fusiform, straight or 
curved, colorless, about seven-septate, usually witha nucleus 
in each cell, .0016’-.0023’ long. 
Dead branches of Spirea opulifolia. Rhinebeck. June. 
The septa of the spores are not very distinct, especially 
toward the extremities. The nuclei are not regularly placed, 
and sometimes one or two very small additional ones occur 
in some of the cells. Rarely one of the central cells is 
swollen. 
LOPHIOSTOMA MAOROSTOMA FY. 
Bark of maple trees. Northampton. August. 
The spores in our specimens are a little longer than in the 
European plant, and are occasionally nine-septate. The ter-
