On rabbit dung. 



Ascophores y^-„, rarely y|^ of an inch broad, formed of a 

 single laj'er of subcubical cells, -with a single row of sharj), 

 pointed hairs, often roughened at their sides about |- to ^ of 

 the whole height; disc plane, granulate ; asci narrower than 

 usual; spores normally 32, oblong-fusiform. To be distin- 

 guished from A. cunicularis by the shorter and tapering rough 

 cilia, as well as by the thinness and transparency of the walls.
