is the same species as Sphceria trimera, Sacc., on Andropogon^ and

Sphaeria epicaxecta. Coolte. 
Perithecia scattered, covered by the cuticle, which appears 
darker over them ; asci clavate ; sporidia biseriate, broadly lance- 
olate, 3 septate, yellow, second septum rather largest. 
On leaves of Carex. Shere. 
Scarcely visible when dry. Sporidia *03 x '01 mm. 
Sphaeria Marram. Cooke. 
Perithecia scattered, covered, piercing the cuticle with the short 
ostiolum, each in the centre of a minute brown spot; asci lanceo- 
late ; sporidia biseriate, fusiform, triseptate, yellow. 
On Ammophila. Happisburgh. 
Sporidia •03-*032 x ‘006 mm. Resembling in some respects 
Sph. culmorum, but asci longer and narrower; and there is a differ- 
ence in the form of the sporidia, whilst the brown spot about the 
perithecia is also distinct. 
Sphaeria maritima. C. Sf Plow. 
Perithecia scattered, prominent, black, seated beneath the 
cuticle, which at length vanishes above ; asci lanceolate ; sporidia 
biseriate, fusiform, 3-5 septate. 
On Juncus maritimus. N. Wootton (C. B. Plowright). 
Sporidia •03-’035 X *006 mm. 
Sphaeria pontiformis. Fchl. 
Perithecia covered, disposed in lines, rarely solitary, erumpent, 
globose, clad with an olive down ; ostiola minute, conical ; asci

On straw. N. Wootton (C. B. P.) 
This species was sent us some years since by Rev. M. J. Ber- 
keley, mixed with Sph. herpotricha. Some of the specimens pub- 
lished by Plowright in Sphseriacei Britt, also contain this species. 
Sporidia *04--05 X *003 mm. 
Sphaeria Nardi. Fr. 
Scattered. Perithecia subglobose, black, covered, rather promi- 
nent ; asci cylindrical ; sporidia biseriate, fusiform, sometimes curved,

On Nardus strictus. N. Wootton. 
Sporidia *025 x *005 mm. 
Sphaeria rubelloides. Plow. 
Perithecia scattered, soon exposed, mostly seated on reddish
