Perithecia gregarious on the back of the exposed tip of the scale, 

 minute (74 //), buried, except the blaclt, smooth, conic-papilliform apex. 

 Asci narrow clavatc-cylindrical, gradually attenuated below, 75-80 x 

 5 fi, paraphyses none. Sporidia uniseriate, ovate, uniseptate and con- 

 stricted at the septum, hyaline, 6-7 x 3-3| /^.

 Sept., 1889 (F. W. Anderson, 612). 



This is near S- Pinsapo, Thiim., but differs in its habitat, its 

 longer, narrower asci and smaller sporidia not constricted at the sep- 

 tum. S. conigena, Pk.,has broader asci and crowded, longer (10-12 //) 

 spoi'idia. We have changed the specific name, Sphcerella conigena 

 having precedence.
