bus, curvulis rectisve, atris, in maculis insidentibus ; labiis conni- 
ventibus. Ascis saccatis. Sporidiis biglobosis, uniseptatis, fuscis 
('0075 X '0035 mm.). 
On leaves of Quercus aquatica. Texas (Rav., 161 j. 
Coxdyceps insignis. Cke. Eav. 
Livido-purpurea. Stipite recto (3-4 cm.) pallido, sulcato, 
gequali, capitulo subgloboso, ovatove, e peritlieciis leniter asperulo. 
Peritheciis minimis, confertis, ovatis, ostiolo punctiformi, obscuriore. 
Ascis cylindraceis, longissimis ('6 mm,). Sporidiis filiformibus 
(*45 mm.) frustulis (*012 mm. long) dissilientibus. 
Oil dead larvse buried in the ground. Seaboard of South 
Carolina, U.S. (Ravenel, 3251). 
Somewhat resembling C. entomorrhiza, but larger and more 
robust. Stem about 4-5 mm. thick and longitudinally sulcate. 
Capitulum l^ cm. long, and 1. cm. broad, livid purple. In many 
respects reminding us of Cordyceps capitata. 
Pleospoxa Paronychiae. Cke. 
Epiphylla, sparsa. Peritheciis globosis, prominulis, papillatis, 
semi-immersis, minimis. Ascis clavatis ; sporidiis fusiformibus, 
centro constrictis, multiseptatis, muriformibusque, atrofuligineis, 
demum opacis (’03 x *01 mm.). 
On fading leaves of Paronychia serpyllifolia. Luchon, France. 
The sporidia when mature are so dark and opaque that the 
septa are masked in the ascus ; they appear black and uniseptate ; 
in earlier conditions the septa are distinct. 
Hendexsonia micxophylla. CJce. 
Peritheciis membranaceis, fuscis, globoso-compressis, sparsis, 
semi-immersis, spoils cylindraceis-obtusis, rectis, triseptatis, pallide 
fuscis (’015 X ’ 0035 ^ 101 .). 
On fading leaves of Paronychia serpyllifolia. Luchon, France. 
(1827). 
In company with a Pleospora and a Sphoerella. 
Helminthospoxium Mauxitanicum. Cke. 
Effusum, lenue, sub-velutinum, atro-fuscum. Hyphis erectis, 
simplicibus, crassiusculis (-01 mm.), fuscis ; deorsum opacis, atris, 
sursum pallidiore, septatis. Sporis terminalibus, lateralibus, 
sparsisve, clavatis, pellucidis, pallide fuscis, demum 5-7 septatis 
(•05 X ‘018 mm.), episporio tenui. 
On twigs and herbs. Mauritius. 
The threads are thick and rigid, almost as in If. macrocarpuin, 
but the spores resemble those of If. apiculatum. The spore mem- 
brane is very thin, and the septa often indistinct. 
Cexcospoxa Timoxensis. Cke. 
Epiphylla. Maculis orbicularibus, brunneis. Hyphis brevissimis, 
hyalinis, subfasciculatis. Sporis linearibus, superne attenuatis, 
flexuosis, 3-4 septatis, hyalinis ('05 x *001 mm.). 
On leaves of Ipomcea cymosa. Timorlaut. Dr. A. B. Meyer.
