brown suffusion; producing on either side, from the basal cell, a stout blackened outgrowth, 1 1 m i 
forming a nearly symmetrical fork-like structure, the prongs of which arc slightly curved inw*ard and 
slightly divergent. From near the base of these outgrowths, and betwei n them, arise, apparently from 
single basal cells on either side, stalked perithecia and appendages. Antheridial appendage rather 
slender, shorter than the perithecia. Perithecia long and Blender, straight, symmetrical, pale llowish, 
slightly inflated toward the base, tapering gradually to the blunt apex. Spun about 10 X 3 /<• l'< ri- 
thecia 135 X 27 ft. Outgrowth from the receptacle 110 X 12 y.

Only one of the three individuals obtained is in fairly good condition, but the sj>ecies i >o very peculiar 
in appearance that it can hardly be mistaken for any other form. ( hving to the gnat reduction of tin 
receptacle and its deep suffusion, it has not been possible to determine absolutely the exact origin of the 
fork-like outgrowths which seem to come from the basal cell, as in Coretkromyt - lid.

Receptaele consisting of two cells, the upper bearing a free stalked antheridium and :i stalked \» ri

cells: above these follow three external marginal cells, the lowest of which lies Inside the antheridial

but the structure of its antheridium is essentially different from that of either of these genera. The num- 
ber of antheridial cells is small, not more than four or five, and it is somewhat diffieuK to distil u.sh 
them from the adjacent sterile cells. The passage for the discharge of the wthetoaouls seem, to b
