Perithecla in clusteis of 4-12, buried in the inner bark, which i:- 

 uniformly stained, of a pale slate color, their bases scarcely penetrating 

 the wood, globose, about | mm. diam., with thick, coriaceous walls, 

 black and shining within. The surface of the bark is raised into dis- 

 tinct pustules over the perithecia, and is more or less cracked and 

 ]iierccd by the cylindrical, rough, black, 1-2 mm. long ostiola, which 

 are distinctly quadrisulcatc-cleft at their tips, and issue in a little fas- 

 cicle, with their bases moie or less connate, but diverging above. 

 Asci minute, 12-14x4-5 /.< (p. sp.), with a slender base. Sporidia 

 crowded in the asci, yellowish in the mass, allantoid, strongly curved, 

 \\-ith a nucleus in each end, 3-4 xl /u (mostly not over 3| /i long).

Differs from Eutypa heteTacantlai , Sacc, in the absence of bristles, 

 the sulcate ostiola, and smaller sporidia. More closely allied to Eit. 

 mo-pariu, from which it differs in its more scattered growth, mostly 

 fewer (4-8) perithecia in a stroma, and the absence of any circuni- 

 scriliing line. In En. ncoparia also the stromata are (.)iteii scriately- 

 connate.

 Exsicc. EU. N. A. F. 873. 



Pustules small (1-1^ mm.), slightly elevating the bark, numei'ous. 

 Perithecia 2-8 in a pustule, globose, black, \ mm. diam., necks short, 

 erumpent in a pale, furfuraceous disk which is soon obliterated. 

 Ostiola globose-conical, finally more or less distinctly radiate-cleft. 

 Asci (p. sp.) about 30 x 5 /(, 8-spored. Sporidia partly biseriate, oblong- 

 fusoid, slightly curved or subinequilateral, j^ellowish, 5-7 x 2-2 1 /a 

 (5 II long, Cke.). 



On dead limbs of 3I((rhira aurantiuca, Newiield, N. J. 



The fasciculate ostiola rise abruptly together, Imt they are not 

 elongated much above the disk. The sporidia are mostly a little 

 thicker in the noddle. 



Eu. canodisca, Ell. & Holway, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. July. 

 I.SDO, p. 223, 



Stroma depresseil-hemispherical, l|-2 mm. diam., flattened above 

 and covered Iiy a circular blackish-gi-ay, definitely limited disk 1-li 

 mm. diam., and pierced in the center liy the fascicle of deeply 4-sul- 

 c;!te ostiola. Perithecia 0-15 in a stroma, seated on the surface of the 

 subjaceut -rtood, ovoid or subanuular from mutual pressure, \-\ nnn.
