(fig. 20), or they may be quite regular (fig. 17). They are relatively 
much more abundant in young ascocarps than in the older ones. 
The storage cells seem to have the same function as the barrel-

Shaped cells described by Harper (16) in Pyronema confluens, 
and are very much like similar storage cells in Lachnea scutellata. 
The chief difference seems to be that in Pyronema confluens and
