On rotten wood. Ex herb. Schweiniiz. 
Quite a different thing from the species described by Fries under 
the name of Sphceria pannosa. 
Nectria alutacea, Berh. 8f Cooke in Herb. Berk.

stromate ellipsoideo vel elongato congestis, subglobosis, papillatis, 
laevibus, glabris (*25 mm. diam.), translucentibus. Ascis clavatis, 
octosporis. Sporidiis biseriatis, ellipticis, uniseptatis, hyalinis 
(•01--012 y -003 mm.). 
On bark. Neilgherries, India (E. S. Berkeley). 
Nectria collabens, Berk. ^ Cooke in Herb. Berk. 
Caespitosa, erumpens, mellina. Peritheciis in stromate tuber- 
culoideis congestis, subglobosis dein collabescentibus, difforrni- 
busque, glabris, tenuissimis (*2 mm. diam.). Ascis cylindraceis, 
octosporis. Sporidiis late ellipticis, utrinque attenuatis, loculis 
sub-conicis, uniseptatis, hyalinis, magnitudine valde variabilis 
(•012--014 varius -018 x *006 mm.). 
On bark. Bombay (^H. J. Carter). 
Nectria hypocreoides, Berk. S; Cooke in Herb. Berk. 
Caespitosa, erumpens, pallida. Peritheciis subglobosis, mox con- 
fluentibus (*25 mm. diam.) in stromate tuberculoideis densissime 
congestis, furfure flavo-pallescente conspersis ; ostiolis nudis obscu- 
rioribus. Ascis cylindraceis, octosporis. Sporidiis ellipticis, hya- 
linis, endochromate bipartito, nec vere uniseptatis (•012 x *004 
mm.). 
On bark. Bombay (I/. J. Carter). 
Nectria fenestrata, Berk. ^ Curt, in Herb. 
Caespitosa, cinnabarina, erumpens. Peritheciis globosis, laevibus, 
glabris, vix papillatis, in stromate tuberculoideo aggregatis. Ascis 
clavatis, octosporis. Sporidiis biserialibus, ellipticis, 5 septatis, 
muriformibusque, hyalinis (’03 x *01 mm.). 
On bark. Canada, Ceylon. 
Nectria balsamea, Cke. ^ Peck {Sacc. Sijll. 4804). 
Erumpens, caespitosa, suborbicularis. Peritheciis parvulis, 
laevibus, coccineis, papillatis demum collapsis, stromate pallido 
congestis. Ascis cylindraceo-clavatis, octosporis. Sporidiis fusi- 
formibus, quinqueseptatis, hyalinis (*03 x ‘077 mm.). 
On bark of Abies balsamea. U.S.A. 
Nectria decolorans, Fries. Scler. Suec., No. 184. 
Ascis cylindrico-clavatis. Sporidiis octonis ellipticis, utrinque 
rotundatis, uniseptatis, leniter constrictis, hyalinis (-023--025 x 
•0075 mm.). 
The above are the results of the examination of three authentic 
specimens of this species as published in Scler. Suec. No. 184. 
Nectria Passeriniana (Nectria viticola, Pass in Pirotti. Fung. Par.^b). 
Sub-caespitosa, erumpens. Peritheciis sub-globosis, carneis, in 
stromate pulvinato connatis. Ascis cylindraceis, octosporis. 
Sporidiis ellipticis, uniseptatis, hyalinis (*02 x •OOO mm.).
