  Erumpent; 
  stroma 
  dirty- 
  white, 
  mealy; 
  perithecia 
  six 
  to 
  ten, 
  sub- 
  

   globose, 
  disposed 
  in 
  circles, 
  black; 
  ostiola 
  elongated, 
  convergent; 
  

   disk 
  whitish, 
  surrounded 
  by 
  a 
  black 
  line, 
  at 
  length 
  obsolete 
  ; 
  asci 
  

   cylindrical; 
  spores 
  biseriate, 
  fusiform, 
  four-nucleate, 
  .0004-.0005' 
  

   long. 
  

  

  Dead 
  branches 
  of 
  Juglans

  The 
  spores 
  in 
  dried 
  specimens 
  sometimes 
  have 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  

   being 
  uniseptate 
  or 
  even 
  triseptate 
  from 
  the 
  division 
  of 
  the 
  cndo-

   with 
  broad

  branches. 
  

  

  The 
  turret-shaped 
  perithecia 
  give 
  a 
  spinulose 
  appearance 
  to 
  the 
  

   twigs. 
  The 
  lips 
  of 
  the 
  compressed 
  ostiola 
  are 
  linear 
  as 
  in 
  Hysterium.

   black,
