Valsa nigrofacta. r. ^ E. 
Pentlieciis paucis (3-6) magnis, epidermide nigrofactis, nitidis, 
tectis ; ostiolis convergentibus ; ascis cylindraceis ; sporidiis uni- 
seriatis, arcte ellipticis, uniseptatis, medio constrictis, bruuneis. 
On branches of Sassafras. 
Sporidia *022 x *009 mm., strongly constricted in the centre, 
each cell nearly globose, brown. Externally covered with the 
shining black cuticle as in Sph. clypeata. (PI. 95, fig. 4.) 
, No. 2530. 
Valsa apatosa. C. ^ E. 
Orbicularis, tecta, convexa. Peritheciis (4-6) atris, congestis ; 
ostiolis conjunctis in disco minuto, punctiformi, atro ; ascis cylin- 
draceis ; sporidiis (4-8) ellipticis, uniseptatis, brunneis. 
On branches of Nyssa. 
Perithecia rather large, covered with the thin cuticle, to which 
they adhere ; ostiola collected together, and perforating the 
cuticle with a very minute punctiform black disc; sporidia often 
only four in ascus, *035 x *015 mm. brown. (PI. 95, fig. 1.) 
Valsa pzofusa. Fr. 
Microstylospores as described by Tulasne. Probably the same 
as Cytispora abnoimis, B. & C. 
On Rohinia. No. 2597. 
Cucurbitaxia congesta. C. ^ E. 
Erumpens. Peritheciis atris, opacis, congestis, quandoque con- 
fluentibus, poro pertusis ; ascis cylindraceis ; sporidiis ellipticis, 
medio constrictis, multiseptatis, muriformibus, brunneis ; macro- 
stylosporis ellipticis, uniseptatis, opacis, brunneis. 
On MagnoliahiirV. 
Clusters of perithecia erumpent, crowded together, sometimes 
confluent, opaque, flattened above, resembling in habit a Melo- 
gramma. Sporidia uniseriate, brown muriform, *025 X *012 mm. ; 
stylospores mixed with the clusters of perithecia, diplodioid, 
broadly elliptic, uniseptate, opaque, brown, rather shorter than the 
sporidia. (PI. 96, figs, 21 & 22.) No. 2594. 
Cucurbitaxia Comptoniae. C. ^* E. 
Csespitosa. Peritheciis globosis, papillatis, transverse erum- 
pentibus, laevibus, atris ; ascis cylindraceis ; sporidiis uniseriatis, 
ellipticis, medio constrictis, 5 septatis, muriformibusque, flavis. 
On twigs of Cornptonia asplenifolia. 
Perithecia erumpent in small transverse tufts, not crowded, 
globose, with a papillate apex ; sporidia *02-*022 x *01 mm., 
muriform, slightly constricted at the centre. (PI. 95, fig. 5.) 
No. 2496. 
Lophiostoma scelestum. C. ^ E. 
The name first applied to this species, Lophiostoma microstoma, 
having been pre-occupied, the above name is substituted.
