 Mspt. QSph. apiculata Currey in Transact. of tlie 

 Linn. Soc. of London.) Batheaston , ad ligna putri- 

 da leg. Friedr. Currey. Mr. Currey describes it — 

 sporidia uniseriate, olive-brown , straigst or very 

 sliglitly curvcd, biseptate, each furuislied with a 

 hyaline tip , wliicli is shut off from tlie rest of tlie 

 sporidium by one of tlie septa. Tlie hyaline tip is 

 frequently, if not generally, invisible in tlie Ascus, 

 owing to tlie overlapphig of the ends of the spori- 

 dia. The sporidia are often nucleatcd; the endo- 

 chrome is somewhat granulär. Length of tlie spo- 

 ridia 0,0010 inch. Perithecia largo, subglobose, du- 

 ply buried in tlie wood, above the surface of which 

 tlie ratlier Wide, circular somewhat gaping ostioluin 

 just protrudes. On a dry old (?deal) fence of the 

 South Western Railway not far from the Weybridge 

 Station 1856 and 1857. A very curious plant both 

 in habit and sporidia, the perithecia are completely 

 and deeply buried in the wood, and are sometime 

 scattered, «ometimes in circles or groups of as 

 many as five together. The perithecia seem even- 

 tuallj' to throw off the wood above theostiola, lea- 

 ving deep dopressions in tlie surface of the wood. —
