64 TWENTY-NINTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. 
Vausa Bicincta C. & P. 
Erumpent; stroma dirty-white, mealy ; perithecia six to ten, sub- 
globose, disposed in circles, black; ostiola elongated, convergent ; 
disk whitish, surrounded by a black line, at length obsolete; asci 
cylindrical; spores biseriate, fusiform, four-nucleate, .0004—.0005" 
long. 
Dead branches of Juglans cinerea. 
The spores in dried specimens sometimes have the appearance of 
being uniseptate or even triseptate from the division of the cndo- 
chrome. 
Lopuiostoma turritum C. & P. 
Perithecia subgregarious, emergent, prominent, snbglobose, black, 
with broad compressed truncate necks ; ostiola elongated; asci cylin- 
drical or clavate; spores oblong-elliptical, five-septate, brown, .0008— 
.0009' long. 
Dead willow branches. 
The turret-shaped perithecia give a spinulose appearance to the 
twigs. The lips of the compressed ostiola are linear as in Hysterium. 
Lopuiostroma MAGNATUM C. & P. 
Perithecia subgregarious, semi-immersed, globose, rather large, 
somewhat thin and fragile, pitchy-black ; ostiola short, compressed ; 
asci cylindrical or clavate; spores biseriate, lanceolate, constricted in 
the center, three to five-septate, .002’-.0023’ long. 
Decaying wood. It some resembles ZL. macrostomum in habit. 
Spua@ria (ViLLosa#) murans C. & P. 
Perithecia rather large, .026-.036' broad, gregarious or crowded, 
globose, papillate, black, at first clothed with a thin tawny evanescent 
tomentum, at length naked, smooth, shining; asci subeylindrical ; 
spores uniseriate, elliptical, brown, .0004—.0005' long. 
Decaying wood. 
The species is allied to S. mutabdlis Pers. 
Spo ria (VILLos#) virmpicoma C. & P. 
Perithecia erumpent, then superficial, two or three together, ovate, 
black, clothed with a dense greenish tomentum, .03—.04 broad; 
ostiola thick, prominent, naked; asci clavate or cylindrical; spores 
one to two-seriate; lanceolate, uniseptate and four-nucleate or trisep- 
tate, deeply constricted at each septum, colorless, .0013—.0018' long, 
.0003'—.0004' broad. 
Decaying beech wood and branches. 
The two central cells of the spores are nearly globose.
