 N. Umbellularise Plow. & Hark. Trans. Cal. Acad. Sci. 1884, p. 26. 

 Perithecia superficial, scattered, 200-230 p diain., globose, sub- 

 hyaline, with a tinge of flesh-color, beset externally with a few hyaline, 

 mycelial threads. Ostiola obtuse. Asci clavate, 50 x 10-15 p. Spo- 

 ridia hyaline, ovate, uniseptate, 10-12 x5-8 li. 

 On Umbellularia, California (Harkness). 



N. vulpina, Cke. Grev. XII, p. 83. 



Exsicc. EH. N. A. F. 774. 



Perithecia gregarious or scattered, light yellow, about \ mm. diam., 

 globose at first, subfurfuraceous, and thinly clothed with short, erect, 

 subglandular hairs, finally collapsing so as to be easily mistaken for a 

 Peziza. Asci clavate-cylindrical, 35-45 x 6-7 p, 8-spored. Sporidia 

 either biseriate, 8-11 x 3 3J p or obliquely uniseriate, 8-12x4-4j p. 

 elliptical or oblong-elliptical, 2-4-nucleate, with some sporidia in old 

 specimens, becoming uniseptate. 



On rotten wood of various deciduous trees, not uncommon. 



N. dispersa, C. & E. Grev. V, p. 33. 



Perithecia widely scattered, ovate, papillate, light red, about \ mm. 

 high, sparingly clothed with pale, weak, glandular hairs. Asci cylin- 

 drical, 70-80 x 10-12 p. Sporidia sub biseriate or obliquely uniseriate. 

 oblong-elliptical or almond-shaped, often more prominent on one side. 

 18-22x7-10 p, ends subacute while lying in the asci, rounded when 

 free, 2-4-nucleate, becoming uniseptate. Cooke finds triseptate, curved 

 conidia 50 p long. We have not seen them. 



On (pine) ? bark, Maine (Rev. Joseph Blake). 



N. viticola, B. & C. Grev. IV, p. 45. 



" Scattered, bright crimson, soft, collapsing laterally, seated on a 

 thin, white mycelium. Sporidia uniseriate, elliptical, uniseptate." In 

 Grev. XII, p. 82, Cooke gives the measurements of the sporidia as 

 10x4 p. 



On branches of vine, Alabama (Peters). 



N. Eucalypti, Cke. & Hark. Grev. XII, p. 82. 



Scattered, superficial, pale. Perithecia globose, at length sub- 

 depressed (2 mm.), at first beset with papillose, hyaline hairs, finally 

 bare. Asci clavate, 8-spored. Sporidia lanceolate, uniseptate, not 

 constricted, hyaline, 16-18x4//. 



On bark of Eucalyptus branches, California (Harkness).
