Fig. 7. C. jamaicensis. A cluster of old weathered perithecia. The indi- 

 viduals have all opened, and the 3-pronged apices resulting from the spread- 

 ing of the lobes show clearly at the center of the figure. X n. 



Fig. 8. C. oreophila. A stellate cluster of mature but unopened peri- 

 thecia. The stroma appears at the center of the cluster as a roughened 

 cushion. X 11, 



Fig. 9. C. oreophila. A more typical cluster of perithecia. At the center 

 of the group the surface of the stroma appears greatly roughened, due to the 

 fact that new perithecia are beginning to form where others were earlier 

 broken away. None of the perithecia in this cluster are in reality bilobed. 

 Those individuals which appear bilobed have an additional lobe hidden from 

 view. For demonstration of this fact compare this figure with Fig. 12. X n. 



Fig. 10. C. oreophila. A small group of perithecia, a single individual of 

 which shows clearly the type of dehiscence characteristic of the species. X 11. 



Fig. 11. C. oreophila. A stroma bearing seven perithecia, one mature, six 

 immature. The tips of two of the young individuals have been broken away, 

 exposing their white interiors. X 11. 



Fig. 12. C. oreophila.. The same cluster of perithecia shown in Fig. 9 

 photographed from a different angle. A careful comparison of the two figures 

 will show that none of the perithecia are in reality bilobed. X n.

 \carpas Thunbergii. X 2.y 2 . 



Fig. 14. C. uberata. Clusters of immature perithecia. The tips of sev- 

 eral individuals crushed' and broken over in the lower cluster. X n. 



Fig. 15. C. uberata. A cluster of almost mature but unruptured peri- 

 thecia, the apex of each traversed by several deep furrows. Dehiscence 

 occurs later along the line of the middle furrow. X n. 



Fig. 16. C. uberata. A similar cluster of perithecia, but with many indi- 

 viduals broken away, exposing their white interiors. X n. 



Fig. 17. C. uberata. A small group of perithecia several individuals of 

 which are wholly mature and show clearly the characteristic method of dehis- 

 cence by a single deep apical cleft. X n. 



Fig. 18. C. uberata. A copy of one of the illustrations published by 

 Acharius in connection with the original description of this species in Obser- 

 vationes Mycologicae of Fries. Compare with Fig. 16. Magnification of 

 original figure not given, but reproduced here as published. 



Fig. 19. C. nipponensis. A cluster of mature but unruptured perithecia. 

 Ruptured perithecia have not yet been seen but the presence of a single defi- 

 nite transverse furrow at the apex in many individuals indicates a type of 

 dehiscence similar to that in C. uberata. X n.

Fig. 20. Corynelia fructicola. Numerous perithecia arising from stromata 

 on the surface of a fruit of Rapanea melanophloeos. The stromata stand close, 

 together and tend to form a crust which frequently covers the whole sur-
