Cexatostoma cylindrica, Kalch. Cke. 
ISparsa. Peritheciis globosis, atris, in cortice immersis. Ostiolo 
elongato, cylindrico, tenui, flexuoso ; ore fimbriato, erumpente (2 
mm. long). Ascis clavatis ( 018 X *008 mm.). Sporidiis sper- 
matoideis, hyalinis, curvulis ('0035-‘004 mm. long). 
On branches. No. 22, R. 
A sterile brown subiculous mould surrounded the specimen, 
but whether related to the Sphceria it is impossible to determine. 
Sphaeria Africana, Kalch. ds Cke. 
Sparsa, caulicola, erumpens. Peritheciis subglobosis, atris, 
nitidis, pertusis, semi-emersis. Ascis cylindraceis. Sporidiis 
uniseriatis,amygdalaeformibus,atro-fuscis, opacis (•032--022 x *012- 
•015 mm.). 
On herbaceous stems. Nos. 1399, 1400. 
Remarkable on account of the sporidia, which resemble those of 
some species of Sordaria, although the perithecia are more like 
those of a Pleospora. 
Sphaeria intercepta, Kalch. Cke. 
Sparsa, cuticula cinerascente tecta. Peritheciis subglobosis ; 
ostiolo atro emergente. Ascis clavatis. Sporidiis biseriatis, ellip- 
ticis, uniseptatis, fortissime constrictis, loculis subglobosis, hyalinis 
(*022- 025 X '01^ mm.). 
On stems of Senecio longifolius. No. 1398- 
Sphaeria metuloidea, Kalch. dc Cke. 
Sparsa, epidermide nigrefacto tecta. Peritheciis globoso-de- 
pressis, atris. Ascis clavatis. Sporidiis biseriatis, lanceolatis, trisep- 
latis, nucleatis, hyalinis (*028-*03 X *01 mm.). 
On stems of Artemisia. No. 1399a. 
The lanceolate sporidia are not at first constricted, and for some 
time without septa, with two large central nuclei, and a smaller 
one at each end. 
Sphaeria cervispora, Kalch. d: Cke. 
Sparsa, epidermide elevato demum fissurans. Peritheciis atris, 
subglobosis. Ascis saccato-clavatis. Sporidiis fusiformibus, 
rectis vel curvulis, 7 septatis, leniter constrictis, flavidis (*05 X *008 
mm.). 
On stems of Artemisia. No. 1399d. 
Two or three distinct species of Sphceria are much intermixed 
on the same stems of Artemisia. Their great and manifest 
differences prevent any assumption that they are at all related to 
each other. 
Sphaeria Owaniae, Kalch de Cke. 
Sparsa, epidermide elevato demum fissurans. Peritheciis atris, 
tectis, hinc illic linea brevi dispositis. Ascis clavatis. Sporidiis 
sublanceolatis, rectis, 5 septatis, medio contrictis, parte superiore 
latiori breviori, flavidis (•04-*042 x *012 mm.). 
On stems of Artemisia.
