chrome thrice divided, constricted at the divisions, rarely with five 
divisions. The perithecia are flattened, with a distinct central 
pore, and a brown branching mycelium running under the cuticle, 
which covers the perithecia. There are also stellate, branched, 
creeping brown threads on the surface of the cuticle, resembling 
a minute Asterina, which bear triseptate brown conidia, of the 
same size and form as the sporidia. It is a very curious and inter- 
esting species. No. 2258. 
Sphsearia cataxiae. C. # E. 
Minuta, gregaria, epidermide tecta. Ostiolis papillseformibus ; 
ascis clavatis ; sporidiis ellipticis, acuminatis, biseriatis, uniseptatis, 
hyalinis. 
On Nepeta cataria. 
Sporidia -02 X *008 mm., uniseptate, but clearly not fully ma- 
tured. Closely allied to Spli. incommiscibilis, B. &. C. No. 2433. 
Dothidea venenata. C. E. 
Erumpens. Pustulis parvulis, gregariis, convexo-planis, atris;

amygdaloideis, hyalinis ; microstylosporis ovalibus ; macrostylo- 
sporis ellipticis, brunneis. 
On Rhus venenata. 
In some respects resembling Melogramma ambiguum, but the 
structure of the stroma is that of Dothidea, pustules much 
smaller ; microstylospores oval, *008 mm. long ; macrostylospores

sporidiis amygdaloideis, hyalinis. 
On Aloinis. Malaga, N.J.

Macrostylospores lanceolate, obtuse at the ends, 5 septate, 
slightly constricted.

Apparently the stylospores of this species, •08-‘09 X -02 mm., 
dark brown, ultimate cells small and paler. No. 2438.

septatis, fenestratis, brunneis. 
On scales of fir cones. 
Spores '04 x •012 mm. ; perithecia often quite smooth, sometimes 
with a few rigid subulate brown hairs, equal in length to the 
diameter of the perithecia. No. 2465.
