lapping, broad-fusoid, rarely subelliptical, i-septate and not con- 

 stricted at the septum, hyaline, 14-16 X S~7 m i c - (mostly 15 X 7. 

 mic). 



On bark of Pinus, Abies and Larix. 

 Type locality : Europe. 



Distribution: Newfoundland to New York and Ontario.

11. Creonectria diploa (Berk. & Curtis) 

 Nectria diploa Berk. & Curtis, Jour. Linn. Soc. 10: 378. 1869. 



Perithecia in dense erumpent clusters about .5 mm. in diameter, 

 individual perithecia minute, ovate, nearly smooth, bright red, 

 finally collapsing ; asci cylindrical, 8-spored ; spores vertically 2- 

 seriate, very large, fusoid, 1 -septate, hyaline, with 2-4 oil-drops, 

 20-25 X 7-10 mic. 



On bark of Alnus sp. 



Type locality: S. Carolina. 



Distribution : Known only from type locality. 



Exsiccati : Ravenel, Fungi Car. Exsicc. 55. 



Individual perithecia resemble those of Nectria episphaeria 

 (Tode) Fries but differ in the very large size of the spores. The 

 dense clusters of perithecia seem to indicate the presence of a 

 stroma although the specimens are too old to show any definite 

 stroma.
