" Perithecia buried as in Sjihmria Berkeleyi {Diajwrthe). Osti- 

 ola emergent. Sporidia allantoid, minute.

Sphmria {Eutypa) ? oppansa, Fr. S. M. II, p. 374. — Covered, 

 effused. Perithecia scattered, subcircinate, delicate, black, joined in a 

 pale membranaceous crust, ostiola erumpent. The crust seems to be 

 formed from a gelatinous substance. Perithecia solitary or irregularh- 

 circinate, readily collapsing. Differs from £Ju. lata in the nature of 

 the perithecia and color of the crust. 



Found (sec. Schw.) on willow bark, Bethlehem, Pa. 



Sphmria {Eutypa) s-uhcutanea, Wahl. Fr. S. M. II, p. 371. — This 

 is quoted by Schw. as found under the epidermis of young branches of 

 Hibes at Bethlehem, Pa., but the spec, in Herb. Schw. seems to be the 

 same as Diatrype Dearnessii, E. & E., in N. A. F. 2526, sporidia 

 5x1//. The Sphmria suhcutanea, Wahl., is under the epidermis of 

 willow and has (sec. Sacc. in Syll.) sporidia 12-]4x3-3| /«. 



CALOSPHJIRIA, Tul. 



Sel. Carp. II, p. io8. 



Stroma none. Perithecia free or seated on the inner bark, scat- 

 tered or oftener collected in more or less distinctly circinate groups. 

 Ostiola more or less elongated. Asci clavate, generally racemose-fas- 

 ciculate, sessile or stipitate, mostly 8-spored. Paraphyses mostly much 

 longer than the asci, stout, lanceolate, evanescent. Sporidia mostly 

 small, cylindrical, curved, hyaline, continuous.

Perithecia lying on the surface of the inner bark in orbicular 

 or elliptical groups, genei-ally densely crowded, globose, smooth and 

 shinino'. Necks very long, decumbent, flexuous, cylindrical, with their 

 ostiola directed towards transverse cracks in the epidermis, erumpent 

 and more or less exserted and obtuse. Asci clavate, with long and 

 slender pedicels, p. sp. 18-26x4 fi, 8-spored, overtopped by the long 

 paraphyses. Sporidia loosely conglomerated, cylindrical, curved, hya- 

 line, 5-6xlJ;i.
