Scattered ; rarelj' aggregated in groups of 2-3 specimens ; 

 recognised by the olive-green, discoid, circular disc The 

 inflated, brownish-olive, subglobose or pyriform cells, up to 

 40 /A in length, present in the substance of hypothecium and 

 projecting from the external cells of the epithecium, are 

 very characteristic. In rare instances I have seen the 

 large vesicular bodies in chains of 2-3 cells. When old 

 the contents of the spores are sometimes divided into two 

 equal portions by a central clear line — spuriously 2-celled — 

 but a transverse septum is not formed. The spores are 

 tinged olive-brown when mature. 



I have examined the type specimen of Laclinella fraxinicola 

 (B. & Br.), Phil., and find it to be in every respect identical 

 with the present species. 



PHAEANGELLA. Mass. 



Ascophore erumpent, soon superficial, closed at first, then 

 expanding and becoming cup-shaped and finally patellate, 

 coriaceous, contracting and becoming contorted when dry ; 

 externally furfuraceous ; asci 4-8-1 6-spored; spores elon- 

 gated, 1-septate, coloured (or in some species hyaline) ; 

 paraphyses present.
