Sub-e£fusa, plana, demum atro-fusca, margine obtuso, contextu 
albo. Peritheciis immersis, subglobosis. Ascis cylindraceis, octo- 
sporis. Sporidiis ellipticis, hyalinis (*005-’006 mm. long). 
On bark. Venezuela. 
In all the three species, Nos. 4895, 4896, 4897, we believe 
that the joints of sporidia are sixteen, and not eight.

latis (sicco melleis) ostiolis obscuriore. Ascis cylindraceis, octo-
