that becomes separated from the end of the trichophoric cell, and corresponds to the indurated 
portion of the trichogyne described in connection with Camptomjccs. From this cell the recep- 
tive portion of the trichogyne first makes its appearance as a mhiute papilla, which enlarges 
and grows out to form the characteristic branches just described. 
The development of the perithecium proper has not been followed out in all its details but 
seems to correspond closely to that described as typical in the first part of this 3femoir. 
;re is a stalk-cell and a secondary stalk-cell has not been determined, but it is 
probable that one of the two may be absent, since there seem to be but four colls about the base 
of the perithecium. 
I have also been unable to observe the first divisions which take place in the carpo<i-enic cell 
after fertilization, and it is only after the asci have begun to bud from the ascogenic cell that 
the interior of the perithecium can be seen with sufficient clearness to determine the natui-c of 
the changes which are taking place. At this period, however, the ascogenic cell becomes very 
distinct, and from its large size is a very good subject for observation. Although it is very long 
and there is sometimes an indication of a septum across it, its development appears to be iden- 
tical with that of other cases already described. Its period of activity docs not seem, despite 
its unusual size, to be as great as that of most ascogenic cells; and it is in this genus only that 
one is very apt to find individuals which have apparently died after completing their period of 
natural activity. 
As in Dimorphomyces, instances sometimes occur in which the spores, not havin^ been dis- 
charged for some reason, begin to germinate witliin the perithecium; and specimens" like that 
represented m fig. 19 are not of very rare occurrence, the blackened foot in such instances bcin- 
conspicuously developed, as well as faint indications of tl^e three primary septa; but no case oi 
almost complete development like that mentioned in Dimorphomyces (fig. 1) has been observed 
m the present mstance.
