NEW SPECIES OF FUNGI. 23 
qoward each end, straight or slightly curved, multinucleate, at length 
obscurely multiseptate, greenish-yellow, .0025 to .008 in. long, .00012 
to .00016 broad. 
Decaying wood of hemlock. Adirondack mountains. August. 
This is Spheria scopula C. & P. in the Thirty-second Report, It 
is here referred to the genus Acanthostigma because of the shape of 
the spores. From A. Clintoni it may be distinguished by its larger 
perithecia and longer spores. 
Lasiospheeria intricata. 
Perithecia scattered or crowded, somewhat elongated, .025 to .035 
in. long, .018 to .02 broad, generally narrowed toward the base, 
obtuse, subfragile, tomentose-hairy, brown or blackish-brown ; subi- 
culum very thin or none; asci slender, elongated, .005 to .008 in. 
long, .0004 to .0005 broad ; spores crowded, linear, curved or flexu- 
ous, greenish-yellow, .0016 to .0025 in. long, .00016 to .0002 broad. 
Decaying wood and leaves in damp places. Sandlake. 
The species belongs to the section Leprospora. The perithecia, 
though small, resemble in shape those of Lombardia fasciculata. 
The minute papillate ostiolum is often concealed by the tomentum of 
the perithecia. This is composed of intricate, matted, slender, sep- 
tate, brown filaments, which, by their soft, tomentose character, read- 
ily distinguish this species from the related L. strégosa, L. hispida, 
L. hirsuta, ete. 
Herpotrichia leucostoma. 
Perithecia small, .012 to .018 in. broad, numerous, somewhat 
crowded, subglobose, seated upon or involved in a blackist-brown 
tomentum, the ostiola naked, not prominent, whitish when moist, 
grayish or sordid when dry ; asci cylindrical or subclavate, .006 to 
.008 in. long, .0004 to .0006 broad; spores crowded or biseriate, 
oblong-fusiform, at first uniseptate, constricted at the septum and 
containing two or three nuclei in each cell, then three to five-septate, 
colorless, .0015 to .002 in. long, .0003 to .00085 in. broad. 
Dead branches of mountain maple-bush, Acer spzcatum. Catskill 
mountains. September. 
The whitish ostiola constitute a marked feature in this species. It 
is distinguished from Herpotrichia Schiedermayertana Fckl. by its 
much smaller perithecia, and the more numerous septa of the spores. 
[ have observed no globose appendages at the ends of the spores in
