NEW JERSEY FUNGI. 
On pine boards not much decayed. 
This appears to be a distinct species. The penetrating stem to 
which threads of the capillitium are attached, is peculiar. The 
spores remain for a long time in globose masses, and do not sepa- 
rate freely. [PI. 80, fig. 1. 5, clusters of spores encysted; c, free 
spores.] 
2368. Sphaeria aquila. Fr. forma minor. — On twigs of Corylus 
Americana. 
The perithecia are smaller than usual, but the fruit is the same. 
2369. Dichaena quercina. Fi'. — On living white oak branches. 
An immature condition. 
2370. Acrothecium obovatum. C. ^ E. 
Atrum, effusum ; floccis simplicibus, erectis, septatis, gracilibus, 
brunneis ; sporis obovatis vel pyriformibus, apico-radiantibus, 
brunneis, opacis, biseptatis. 
On decaying Magnolia. Sept. 
Forming black velvety patches. Threads slender, simple. Spores 
obovate, with 2 septa, the upper cell equal to both the others ; 
opaque, so that when mature the septa can scarcely be distin- 
guished. (PI. 80, fig. 13.) 
2371. Botrytis atroviridis. C. 4' 
Atro viridis ; caespitulis densis, elongatis ; floccis septatis fuscis, 
superne ramosis ; ramulis brevis oppositis ; sporis minutis ovatis. 
On oak stump. 
This is so decidedly the conidia of some species of Hypoxylon^ 
that it has had a name applied to it with hesitation, and tempo- 
rarily, until it can be referred to the Hypoxylon to which it belongs. 
(PI. 81, fig. 10.) 
2372. Sphaeria (Caulicolae) comatella. C, ^ E. (See. No. 2392.)

On oak leaves. 
Not more than \ m.m. broad ; sporidia ’OG-’O? m.m., nearly the

2374. Sphaeropsis alni. C. ^ E. 
Peritheciis erumpentibus, 3-4 congestis, brunneis, ovatis, sub- 
membranaceis ; sporis magnis, ellipticis, brunneis.
