  Bark

  Spircea 
  opulifolia.

  The 
  spores 
  in 
  our 
  specimens 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  in 
  those 
  received 
  from 
  

   Dr. 
  Curtis 
  are 
  colored, 
  .0005-0006' 
  long, 
  with 
  a 
  long 
  colorless 
  

   appendage 
  at 
  each 
  end. 
  

  

  A 
  non-ascigerous 
  state 
  occurred 
  in 
  May 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  locality. 
  

   The 
  perithecia 
  and 
  spores 
  were 
  the 
  same, 
  but 
  I 
  could 
  detect 
  no 
  

   asci. 
  

  

  Sphjeria 
  (Obtectje) 
  sphj^rellula 
  n.

  Perithecia 
  minute, 
  scattered 
  or 
  seriately 
  placed, 
  covered 
  by 
  

   the 
  epidermis 
  which 
  is 
  at 
  length 
  ruptured 
  ; 
  asci 
  broad, 
  obtuse, 
  

   gradually 
  narrowed 
  above, 
  suddenly 
  contracted 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  ; 
  

   spores 
  crowded, 
  fusiform, 
  uniseptate, 
  hyaline, 
  .0005 
  '-.0006 
  'long.

   The 
  asci 
  imitate 
  in 
  form 
  those 
  of 
  some 
  species 
  of 
  Spha^rella. 
  

  

  Sphjeria 
  (Caulicolje)

  Perithecia 
  minute, 
  crowded, 
  arranged 
  in 
  long 
  lines, 
  at 
  first 
  

   covered 
  by 
  the 
  epidermis 
  which 
  at 
  length 
  is 
  ruptured 
  in 
  long 
  

   chinks 
  ; 
  ostiola 
  prominent, 
  subcylindrical, 
  blunt 
  or 
  subacute 
  ; 
  

   a 
  sci-sub 
  cylindrical 
  ; 
  spores 
  oblong 
  or 
  subfusiform, 
  quadrinu- 
  

   cleate,

  The 
  species 
  is 
  remarkable 
  for 
  the 
  long 
  lines 
  of 
  perithecia 
  and 
  

   the 
  prominent 
  ostiola 
  which 
  are 
  suggestive 
  of 
  lines 
  of 
  armed 
  

   men. 
  

  

  Sphjeria 
  (Caulicolje) 
  viridella 
  n.

  Perithecia 
  small, 
  gregarious, 
  seated 
  on 
  a 
  greenish 
  spot, 
  cov- 
  

   ered 
  by 
  the 
  epidermis 
  which 
  is 
  ruptured 
  by 
  the 
  minute 
  ostiola 
  ; 
  

   asci 
  cylindrical 
  ; 
  spores 
  oblong-fusiform, 
  sometimes 
  curved, 
  

   triseptate, 
  greenish, 
  .001' 
  long, 
  the 
  third 
  cell 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  

   swollen.

  The 
  marked 
  feature 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  the 
  greenish 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  

   spot 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  spores. 
  The 
  latter 
  resemble 
  those 
  of

  in
