NEW JERSEY FUNGI. 
51 
Growing on a species of Diatrype (without fruit) on dead branches 
of Corylus avellana. 
Kesembling in habit Tremella albida; spores *04 x '004 m.m., 
strongly curved, acute at the extremities ; threads very slender, 
often long, interwoven and branched. The Diatrype being without 
fruit, could not be determined. (PI. 80, fig. 10.) 
2376. Coniothyrium subtile. Corda. Icon. iv. fig. 107. 
On bleached wood of white cedar. 
2377. Sphaeria (Immersae) livida. Fr. — On decorticated wood. 
(PI. 80, fig. 1«.) 
2378. Sphaeria (Obtectae) microtheca. C. S' E. 
Peritheciis subgregariis ; tectis, globosis, atris ; collo elongato, 
flexuoso ; ascis minutissimis, pyriformibus ; sporidiis allantoideis. 
Oli Andromeda twigs. 
Seated on the wood, and piercing the bark with the elongated 
ostiola. When the bark falls away resembling a species of the 
section Denudatae. Asci very minute, narrowly pear-shaped, 
*025 >< '01 m.m. The sausage-shaped sporidia are also propor- 
tionally minute and spermatioid. (PI. 80, fig. 14.) 
2379. Diderma, sp. — On old pine boards. 
This appears to be a red-brown species, allied to D. vernicosuniy 
but smaller and sessile. It has been dried before maturity, and 
therefore the spores are not formed, and it is in too imperfect a 
condition for description. 
2380. Stemonitis confluens. C. Sf E. 
Fasciculata, confluente in hypothallo persistente, atro-fusca ; 
peridiis fugacissimis ; stipite furcatis, erectis, ad basim conjunctis ; 
sporis bruniieis, magnis, globosis. 
On oak bark. 
The stems are branched in a furcate manner, and confluent at 
the base, forming a compact tuft. The capillitium is membrana- 
ceous at the angles ; spores very large compared with allied 
species, being *012 m.m. diam. ; the specimens were too fully 
matured for a complete and satisfactory description. (PI. 80, fig. 3. 
b, portion of capillitium with spores.) 
2381. Sphaeria (Caulicolae) dissiliens. C, S' E. 
Peritheciis sparsis, atris, demum erumpentibus, subglobosis, 
ostiolis punctiformibus ; ascis clavatis ; sporidiis longe fusiformibus, 
8-septatis, simul constrictis, et dissilientibus, hyalinis. 
On stems of Desmodium strictum. 
Sporidia '07 x '009 m.m., constricted and divided into two un- 
equal portions, one of which is 3-septate the other 4-septate, 
readily dividing at the constriction. (PI. 80, fig. 12.) 
2382. Sphaeria (Caulicolae) coxnatella. C. 8f stems of 
Desmodium strictum. 
2383. Hypoderma virgultorum. DBy. — On stems of Desmodium 
strictum.
