Mycologia 



Winter states that on account of the opaqueness of the mature 

 as'cospores it is not possible to determine whether the conical 

 projections are cut off by septa from the rounded central portion. 

 The writer has seen no indication of the presence of septa, and 

 regards the spores as unicellular at all stages.

 Fig. 2. A cespitose cluster of perithecia arising from a single stroma. 



Various stages in the dehiscence of the perithecium are shown. X 11.

Fig. 4. Corynelia brasiliensis. A stellate cluster of mature but unopened 

 perithecia. The stroma appears at the center of the cluster as a prominent 

 cushion. X n. 



Fig. 5. C. brasiliensis. Two coalescent clusters of perithecia. Near the 

 center of each cluster the stroma appears as a prominent cushion. The peri- 

 thecia show in practically every case the last stage of dehiscence. X it. 



Fig. 6. C. jamaicensis. A cluster of unopened perithecia. Although the 

 majority of the perithecia are trilobed, a single quadrilobed individual appears-
