 rowed above into a rostrum about as long as the diameter of the 

 perithecium, black ; spores, numerous, elliptical or oblong, color- 

 less, .00016 to .00u3 in. long, .00(108 to .00012 broad, oozing out 

 in wet weather and forming a minute hyaline globule.

August. 



Micropera Nemopanthis n. sp.

 Karner. May.
