Sphseria micheneri, B. 8f C. in Herb., from Pennsylvania 
(6038), apparently the same thing, with the sporidia immature. 
Metasphaeria rubida, Blox. = Sphaoria rubida, Bloxam in Herb. Berk. 
Caulicolous. Perithecia rather small, globose, black, with a 
papillate ostiolum, at first covered by the cuticle, but at length 
exposed. The matrix stained with a purple-red colour, which is 
partially discharged with moisture. Asci clavate. Sporidia fusi- 
form, straight or curved, 3-5 septate, constricted, hyaline, 25x3 p. 
On herb stems. Twycross. (Bloxam.) 
Thyridaria crocosarca, B. 4 Br. = Melogramma crocosarca, B. 4 Br. 
in Herb. 
Erumpent. Perithecia saffron colour, mealy, csespitose, 2-6 
together, often confluent, on a narrow stroma, pierced at the apex, 
forming clusters 2 m.m. long. Asci clavate, octosporous. Sporidia 
fusiform, 7-11 septate, pale, not constricted, 40 x 12 /a, with linear 
paraphyses. 
On bark. Ceylon. (Thwaites 131.) 
Sphaeria rhodoglea, B. 8( Curt, in Herb. 
This is partly a Phoma and partly a Rhabdospora , with filiform

Sphaeria berchemiae, BerJc. 8f Rav. in Herb.

Dimerosporium aterrimum, Cke. 4 Wint.

sporidiis arcte ellipsoideis, immaturis. 
On coriaceous leaves. Manipur, India. (Watt 7463.)
