brown near the base. The inner appendages commonly arise from two basal cells, the inmost 
smaller and lower in position, each giving rise to a variable number of branches, usually not 
more 
with brown below. Receptacle elongate. Spores about 55 /a long. Perithecium, 1S5 x 50 ^. 
Longest appendages, 370 fi. Total length to tip of perithecium, 630 /x. 
On the upper surface of abdomen of Quedius vernix Lee, Illinois. 
Tlie material on which this species is based is somewhat scanty, only one of the six specimens 
being mature. Li these the insertion-cell, with one exception, does not become wholly black- 
ened, and seems to give rise on the inner side to a small appcndiculate cell. The outmost 
branch of the outer appendage is deeply suffused with brown and bent outward. The large an- 
theridia, of the ordinary form, are borne terminally or laterally, singly or in pairs, on short 
branchlets.

the outer producing invariably two branches, one terminal, simple, erect, slightly llexnous ; the 
other external, sub-terminal, outwardly divergent, long, simple, doeidy suffused as a rule near its 
base ; its first septum blackened and constricted in many cases. The inner basal coll bears, as a 
rule, a single ong slender branch on either side, simple or with a short, fertile branchlct at its 
base; the anthend.a terminal in groups of three to five. Within these primary appendages one
