Explanation of Plate LXXIII 



Ascobolus magnificus Dodge 



Two rather large ascocarps are shown natural size in the lower figure, the 

 character of the white margin well brought out. At the extreme left may be 

 seen two small fruit bodies. Seventeen ascocarps were later developed at 

 this point, forming a compact mass of fruit bodies, each being about i cm. 

 in diameter. 



In the upper figure, are a number of young ascocarps showing the pore at 

 the time of opening; the mature ascocarps are about the average size.
