COCOA- PALM FUNGI. 
On petioles and midribs of Cocos nvcifera. Demerara. 
Spores -02 x 012 mm. Peritliecia rather large, splitting the 
cuticle. (PI. 86, fig. 1.) 
Diplodia epicocos. C. 
Sparsa vel subgregaria. Peritheciis demum superficialibus vel 
semi-immersis, globosis, atris ; sporis ellipticis, uniseptatis, con- 
strictis, brunneis. 
On dead young leaves of Cocos nucifera. 
Spores '022 x •01--012 mm. 
Externally resembling a small Sphceria of the section Denudatos. 
(PI. 86, fig. 2.; 
Festal ozzia palmazum. C, in Grevillea. 
On dead leaves of Cocos nucifera. Demerara. 
Spores *045 x *006 mm. (coloured portion) oozing out in per- 
sistent black tendrils. This species was first found on the dead 
sprout of germinating cocoanut from India. (PI. 86, fig. 3.) 
Tirichobasis palmarum. C. 
Soris minutis in maculas decoloratis, fuscis ; sporis globosis, 
verrucosis, fuscis, ad basim hyalino-apiculatis. 
On upper surface of leaves of Cocos nucifera. Demerara. 
Spores -OSS-'O! mm. diam., of a very peculiar structure, with a 
broad hyaline apiculus at the base, to which the peduncle is 
attached. (PI. 86, fig. 9.) 
Memnonium palmicolum. C. 
Atrum, effusum. Spores globosis, magnis, opacis ; hyphis re- 
pentibus, paucis, hyalinis, septatis. 
On dead leaves of Cocos nucifera. Demerara. 
Spores -015 mm. diam., forming little black patches 1-2 inches 
in length. (PI. 86, fig. 6.) 
Sporotrichum foliaecolum. Lh. 
On dead leaves of Cocos nucifera. Demerara. 
Probably the above species, forming small white tufts on the 
dead leaves. 
Sphaeria (obtectae) cocogena. C. 
Gregaria. Peritheciis tectis, epidermide demum fissuratis, 
globosis, compressis, atris ; ascis clavatis ; sporidiis biserialibus, hya- 
linis, sub-ellipticis, tritorulosis, utrinque apiculato-appendiculatis. 
On leaves of Cocos nucifera. Demerara. 
Sporidia •02-'022 x ’01 mm. without appendages ; entire 
length '03 mm. Very peculiar in structure, almost elliptical, twice 
compressed, swollen in the centre, so as to be tritorulose, each end 
furnished at first with a hyaline short appendage, which soon falls 
away. The sporidia would probably ultimately become biscptate. 
(PI. 86, fig. 8.) 
Sphaerella cocophylla. C. 
Hypophylla, gregaria. Peritheciis minutis, atris, tectis, epi- 
dermide nigrofactis ; ascis clavatis ; sporidiis minutis linearibus, 
utrinque obtusis.
