In Grev. IV, p. 144, Berkeley reports this from North Carolina^ 

 on Fraxinus, with sporidia shortly fusiform, 3-septate, 12^-15 ji long. 

 The description and synonyms above are from Winter's Pilze. We 

 have seen no specimens. This species appeai-s to differ from the other 

 inembere of the genus in its hyaline sporidia. 



Tr. seminiida, (Pers.) 



Spheeria setninnda^ Pers. Syn. p. 70. 

 Tretnatosphceria semi'nuda, Fckl. Symb. p. 1S2. 



Perithecia scattered or 2-3 connate, about half sunk in a white, 

 felt-like subiculum, the upper, projecting part bald, with a sharp, 

 conical ostiolum. Asci elongated-cylindrical, 8-spored. Sporidia uni- 

 seriate, brown, ovate or oblong, obtuse above and broader, the lower 

 end attenuated, 3-septate, constricted- at the septa, 14x6 /jt. 



Found (sec. Schw.) on bark, Carolina and Pennsylvania. 



The above description is from Winter's Pilze. This must not be 

 confounded with Teichospora seminuda, De Not. (Syll. II, p. 297). 



tlARYOSPORA, De Not. 



Micromycetes Ital. Dec. IX, 



Perithecia as in Trematosphceria. Asci large, 2-8-spored. Spo- 

 ridia lai'ge, biconical, with a snout-like (often 1-3-septate) prolongation 

 at each end. This is hardly more than a subgenus of TrematosphcBria. 



C. putaminura, (Schw.) (Plate 24) 



Sphesria putaminum, Schw. Syn. Car. No. 163. 

 Caryospara putaminum, De Not. Micr. Ital. IX. 

 Bxsicc. Rab-Winter F. Eur. 3343.— Ell. N. A. F. 898. 



Perithecia scattered, adnate-superficial, about 1 mm. diam., hemi- 

 spherical, with a large tuberculiform, broadly perforated and at length 

 deciduous ostiolum, carbonaceous, smooth or concentrically wrinkled, 

 black. Asci broad-oblong, ventricose, stipitate, paraphysate, (280- 

 340 X 70 yK, Winter). Sporidia overlapping-uniseriate, 2-8 in an ascus, 

 biconical or broad-elliptical, constricted and septate in the middle, 

 brown, 80-100x40-55 p. (108-140x50-65 «, Winter). The pro- 

 longation at the ends is often obscurely 1-3-septate, but these addi- 

 tional septa are easily overlooked and are not always present. The 

 sporidia are often surrounded by a broad hyaline envelope. 



On old peach pits lying on the ground. Common in the peach 



region. 



The asci are very evanescent, so that it is difficult to find an entire 

 ascus containing mature sporidia. Those we have seen were 1 50-200
