Hypocrea vinosa. Cke. sp. nov. 
Orbicularis, convexa, atro-vinosa (2-3 mm.), ostiolis vix dis- 
tincta. Ascis cylindraceis. Sporidiis dissilientibus, cellulis sub- 
globosis ('306-'007 mm.), hyalinis. 
On dead wood. Waitaki (307). 
Sporidia larger than in H. rufa , which it somewhat resembles 
in habit. 
Hypocrea Berggreni. Che. sp. nov. 
Erumpens, discoidea, umbrino-vinosa (2 mm.;, intus pallida, 
saepe gregaria. Peritheciis nec non perfecte evolutis. 
On branches. 
This is certainly an Hypocrea , very similar in character to H. 
Richardsoni , Berk., although no fructification or even perfect 
perithecia could be found. It is very distinct, externally resem- 
bling, at a superficial glance, Diatrype disciforme , in the size and 
form of the stroma, and habit of growth. 
Nectria Zealandica. Cke. sp. nov. 
Caepitosa, testaceo-rubra, erumpens. Caespitulis convexis. 
Peritheciis subglobosis, laevibus, papillatis, mox depressis, vel 
concavis. Ascis clavatis. Sporidiis biseriatis, ellipticis, unisep- 
tatis, constrictis, hyalinis (-02--025 X ‘008--01 mm.). 
On bark. Little River, Banks’ Peninsula (305), Maungaroa 
(321). 
Closely allied to N. pulcherrima, B. & Br., but perithecia darker, 
and sporidia rather smaller. 
Nectria quisquilaris. Cke. sp. nov. 
Sparsa, succinea, vel subaurantia. Peritheciis laevibus, hinc 
illic congestis, nec caespitosis. Ascis cylindraceis. Sporidiis uni- 
seriatis, ellipticis, uniseptatis, vix constrictis (016‘02 x *008 mm.). 
Conidiis in stromate tuberculoideis enatis, elongato-ellipticis, 
nucleatis, hyalinis (*012-*014 X -004 mm.). 
On the outside and inside of fallen bark, fragments of wood, 
&c. Dunedin (123, conidia), Melbourne, (Australia 389, 362). 
Nectria coccinea. Fr. Sys. Myc. ii., 412. 
On branches. Dunedin (306). 
Nectria sanguinea. Fr. Sys. Myc. ii., 453. 
On bark. Wellington (Travers).
