Perithecia superficial, scattered, 200-230 /z diam., globose, sub- 

 hyaline, with a tinge of flesh-color, beset externally with a few hyaline, 

 mycelial threads. Ostiola obtuse. Asci clavate, 50x10-15 /z. Spo- 

 ridia hyaline, ovate, uniseptate, 10-12 x5-8 fi.

Perithecia gregarious or scattered, light yellow, about \ mm. diam., 

 globose at first, subfurfuraceous, and thinly clothed with short, erect, 

 subglandular hairs, finally collapsing so as to be easily mistaken for a 

 Peziza. Asci clavate-cylindrical, 35-i5 x 6-7 fi, 8-spored. Sporidia 

 either biseriate, 8-11 x 3-3| n or obliquely uuiseriate, 8-12x4-4| fi, 

 elliptical or oblong-elliptical, 2-4-nucleate, with some sporidia in old 

 specimens, becoming uniseptate. 



On rotten wood of various deciduous trees, not uncommon. 



N. dispersa, C. & E. Grev. V, p. 33. 



Perithecia widely scattered, ovate, papillate, light red, about ^ mm. 

 high, sparingly clothed with pale, weak, glandular hairs. Asci cylin- 

 drical, 70-80 X 10-12 iJL. Sporidia subbiseriate or obliquely uuiseriate, 

 oblong-elliptical or almond-shaped, often more prominent on one side, 

 18-22x7-10 n, ends subacute while lying in the asci, rounded when 

 free 2-4-nucleate, becoming uniseptate. Cooke finds triseptate, curved 

 conidia 50 fi long. "We have not seen them.

N. viticola, B. & C. Grev. IV, p. 45. 



" Scattered, bright crimson, soft, collapsing laterally, seated on a 

 thin white mycelium. Sporidia uniseriate, elliptical, uniseptate." In 

 Grev. XII, p. 82, Cooke gives the measurements of the sporidia as 



10x4 «. 



On branches of vine, Alabama (Peters). 



N. Eucalj'pti, Cke. & Hark. Grev. XII, p. 82. 



Scattered, superficial, pale. Perithecia globose, at length sub- 

 depressed (2 mm.), at first beset with papillose, hyaline hairs, finally 

 bare. Asci clavate, 8-spored. Sporidia lanceolate, uniseptate, not 

 constricted, hyaline, 16-18x4 ^.
