especially in the size of the perithecia and asci. They may often be 
found growing together, however; and under such circumstances 
the similarity of the perithecia, in everything but size, would 
rather lead one to decide in favor of Winter’s suggestion. But 
the fact that Winter did not himself follow this suggestion leads 
us to give it but little weight, especially when considered in con- 
nection with evidence to the contrary, although that evidence is 
mainly one of size. (See also under P. /etraspora.)
