66 THIRTIETH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. 
SPH#ERIA CLASTERIUM B. & C. / 
Bark of Spirea opulifolia. West Albany. October. 
The spores in our specimens as well as in those received from 
Dr. Curtis are colored, .0005—.0006' long, with a long colorless 
appendage at each end. 
A non-ascigerous state occurred in May in the same locality. 
The perithecia and spores were the same, but I could detect n 
asci. : 
SPH@RIA (OBTECT#Z) SPHHRELLULA 2. Sp. 
Perithecia minute, scattered or seriately placed, covered by 
the epidermis which is at length ruptured ; asci broad, obtuse, 
gradually narrowed above, suddenly contracted at the base; 
spores crowded, fusiform, uniseptate, hyaline, .0005’—.0006’ long. 
Dead bleached twigs of striped maple, Acer Pennsylvanicum. 
Catskill Mts. June. 
The asci imitate in form those of some species of Spheerella. 
SPHARIA (CAULICOLA) EXERCITALIS 2. Sp. 
Perithecia minute, crowded, arranged in long lines, at first 
covered by the epidermis which at length is ruptured in long 
chinks ; ostiola prominent, subcylindrical, blunt or subacute ; 
asci-subcylindrical ; spores oblong or subfusiform, quadrinu- 
cleate, colorless, .0005’ long. 
Dead stems of herbs. Catskill Mts. June. 
The species is remarkable for the long lines of perithecia and 
the prominent ostiola which are suggestive of lines of armed 
men. 
SPH ARIA (CAULICOLA) VIRIDELLA 2. Sp. 
Perithecia small, gregarious, seated on a greenish spot, cov- 
ered by the epidermis which is ruptured by the minute ostiola ; 
asci cylindrical ; spores oblong-fusiform, sometimes curved, 
triseptate, greenish, .001’ long, the third cell from the base 
swollen. 
. Dead stems of melilot. Bethlehem. September. 
The marked feature of the species is the greenish color of the 
spot and of the spores. The latter resemble those of S. sudb- 
conica OC. & P., except in color. 
SPH#RIA (CAULICOLZ) SCAPOPHILA n. sp. (Plate II, figs. 
24-27.) 
Perithecia minute, subglobose, scattered, covered by the 
epidermis which is ruptured by the minute perforated ostiola ;
