The absence of a stroma, the cylindrical non-stipitate character 

 of the ascus, the abundance of paraphyses, and the septation 

 of the spores all indicate that Coryneliella consimilis is not closely 

 related to the Coryneliaceae. Since nothing is known, however, 

 concerning the dehiscence of the perithecium, the proper position 

 of the species in classification cannot be given.

Winter (55) states that he has studied the type material of 

 this species collected by Weigelt in Surinam, and finds that it is 

 not a Corynelia. I have seen the figures given by Montagne 

 (31) and the fungus figured is certainly not one of the Cory- 

 neliaceae.

Ellis founded this species on material collected on Chamae- 

 cyparis thyoides at Newfield, New Jersey, and gives a detailed 

 description of both the pycnidial and ascigerous stages. The 

 fungus is evidently closely related to the other species described 

 by him in the genus Hysotheca. The original collection of 

 material has been lost, however, and in so far as the writer has 

 been able to discover a second collection has never been made. ( 

 The type material is not in the Ellis herbarium at the New York 

 Botanical Garden, or in the set of Ellis types at Harvard Uni- 

 versity. A search for the species was recently made by Doctor 

 E. W. Olive and the writer at Newfield, New Jersey, the type
