Perithecia scattered or subgregarious, innate-superficial, ovoid, 

 smooth, at first with a short, cylindrical or compressed ostiolum, black, 

 300-500 [1 diam. Asci cylindric-clavate, 90-125 x 10-12 //, 8-spored. 

 Sporidia biseriate, elongated or oblong, 3-septate, constricted in the 

 middle, greenish-hyaline, 20-26 x 5-8 /i (sometimes 35 fj. long). 



On branches, Bethlehem, Pa. (Schw.). 



The ostiolum is finally deciduous; the perithecium is then rather 

 broadly perforated.

A^'ar. effusa, on decorticated ash limbs, London, Canada (Dear- 

 ness), has the perithecia densely gregarious and effused in patches 

 more or less crowded for 1 cm. or more in extent. Asci and sporidia 

 iis in the typical form.

Perithecia subcutaneous, erumpent, cespitose, black, subglobose, 

 papillate, seated on a pulvinate stroma. Asci cylindrical, 8-spored. 

 Sporidia lanceolate, 3-5-septate, cells divided by longitudinal septa, 

 olivaceous, 50x15-18 fu

The spec, in Herb. Schw. labeled Sphceria stemmatea, Fr., "from 

 Bartrams," is apparently a Phylloaticta or a Septoria, but without 

 fruit; it is, however, different from a spec, of ;S. stemmatea, Fr., in the 

 same collection from Fries, in having larger perithecia. The Priesian 

 spec, shows the asci very distinctly, but the sporidia are immature and 

 not well defined. The general appearance of this spec, is exactly that 

 of Sphce7-ella Gaultherue, C. & E. Grev. YII, p. 42. Probably S. 

 (ianltherloi and ^S". brachytheca are both synonyms oi S. stemmatea, 

 Fr., but this can not be definitely stated without further observations.
