On eljtra of Galerita leptodera Chaud.^ Guinea ; Galerita sp., Liberia, Africa. 
The figures of this species were drawn from a small amount of very ]>oor material found on 
a specimen of Gr. leptodera in tlie collection of the Cambridge Museum, and do not give a very 
good idea of the fully developed appendages. Abundant material has since been obtained from 
specimens of an undetermined Galerita collected by Professor Cook in Liberia. T\^hen perfect 
tlie species is one of the most striking of the genus in appearance from the copious development 
of its peculiar brandies and its often greatly elongated neck. It is most nearly allied to L. 
Gakritce, and represents the highest development of this peculiar type. The very numerous 
specimens examined were found for the most part on the upper surface of the hosts.

Pcrithecium blackish brown, nearly opaque, strongly curved outward, sub-cylindrical or 
somcwliat thickened distally, tapering somewhat abruptly to the ratlicr small, nearly truncate 
tip ; the lii>cells distinct, the inner smaller and often slightly more prominent ; the lower 
Beries of wall-cells elongated to form a hyaline, slender, cylindrical stalk sumcwhat shorter than 
the ascigerous portion above it. Appendages consisting of two basal cell8; llie outer becoming 
opaque, producing usually two branches, one external, smaller, opaque, one to three times sym- 
podmlly branched, the other terminal four to nine times sympodially branched like the first in 
an antero-j30stmor plane, erect, the branchlets sub-hyaline at the tips, the whole otherwise 
opaque. The inner appendage consists of a basal cell, from which arise two branches, which, 
curvmg outward, du^rge on either side, rarely simple, usually furcate above their deeply 
ffused sub-basal cell ; their basal cell several times as large,^ inflated, snb-hyalino, snffuLd
