stratum, which extends to the general wall. This central granular 
mass pushes out near its tip horizontally a- lensshaped extension, 
till it touches the wall near the widest part. Here for a while 
it seems to solder to the wall, spreading slightly above and below 
the first fine circular line of contact. . At this line a thickening 
now takes place upon the wall, and is soon seen to have a semi- 
circular section projecting inwards. The central globules now con- 
tract, the lentiform portion quits the wall and leaves the thickened 
line as a ring.” 
De herhenhørende Arter ere alle udstyrede med mangesporede 
Asci. De ere lutter Gjødningsformer og findes fornemlig om Vin- 
teren. $.355 betegnes Slægten saaledes: ,,Ascozonus Renny (sectio 
nova). Cupulæ minutissimæ, lucenter hyalinæ, hemisphæricæ et 
sessiles, aut subconicæ et stipitatæ, glabræ aut in nua specie sub- 
" hirtæ, ad marginem pilis plerumqve uniserialis coronatæ, stercori- 
colæ. Discus planus aut convexus, ascis prominentibus papillatus. 
Asci ampli, curvati, clavati aut oblongo-ovati, sporas 16 ad 128 
aut etiam plures includentes, annulo suberasso conspicuo versum 
apicem cincti, fissura verticali bilabiata dehiscentes.  Paraphyses 
innumerosæ, interdum furcatæ. Sporæ numerosæ, oblongo fusi- 
formes, intus egranulosæ, episporio hyalind glabro inclusæ, ad 
maturitatem asci extrimitatem versus in massam ovatam imbricatam 
plerumqve aggregatæ.” Der beskrives følgende Species, som alle

Idet jeg ogsaa her følger Boudier som den, der har givet 
det: bedste Bidrag til Ascobolernes Systematik, maa jeg opfatte 
Renny's characteristiske Sectio som Genus.
