apex, 110x45 [i, with a very short pedicel, 8-spored. Sporidia 2-3-

D. Smilacis, E. & E. (in Herb.) 



Perithecia gregarious, globose, about | mm. diam., closely cov- 

 ered by the cuticle which is blackened over them and raised into little 

 pustules barely pierced by the papilliform ostiolum. Asci clavate- 

 cylindrical, 35-40 x 5-6 p., pataphysate. Sporidia biseriate above, 

 uniseriate below, ovate-oblong, hyaline, uniseptate and slightly con- 

 stricted at the septum, 8-10 x3 /^. 



On dead stems of Smilax, Newfield, N. J. 



Differs from Didymosphceria polysticta, (B. & C), in its hyaline 

 sporidia, and from Physalospora disrupta, (B. & C), in its uniseptate 

 sporidia and different asci. The habit is exactly that of Anthosto- 

 mdla sepelibilis, (B. & C). SphcRrella smilacina, B. & E., grows on 

 stems not as much decayed, and has smaller perithecia and asci with- 

 out paraphyses.

D. Manitobi^nsis, E. & E. (in Herb.) 



Spots orbicular, brown, 2-3 mm. diam., surrounded by a light- 

 colored border, fainter and purplish below. Perithecia clustered in 

 the center of the spots, mostly 3-8 together, erumpent-superficial, sub- 

 hemispherical, black, rough, 150-200 n diam., the apex and papilliform 

 ostiolum smoother and shining. Asci clavate-cylindrical, subsessile, 

 8-spored, paraphysate, 65-75 x 8-10 fi. Sporidia subbiseriate, obovate- 

 oblong, uniseptate, the septum nearer the narrower end, 12-15x4-5//, 

 brown. 



On raspberry leaves (Subus), banks of the little Saskatchawan 

 river, Manitoba, Oct. 3, 1891 (Dearness).
