FUNGI. 
13 
On leaves of Capparis Jamaicensis. Cuba. 
I am not aware of the existence of any previously published de- 
scription of this species. 
Glonium cyrillae, B. Sf C. 
Scattered, black, erumpent, broadly elliptical, usually laterally 
compressed towards the apex, up to 1 mm. long, slit very narrow, 
lips varying from striate to quite smooth ; asci broadly clavate, 
somewhat truncate at the apex, base abruptly narrowed into a short, 
oblique pedicel, 8-spored ; spores irregularly biseriate, cylindrical, 
slightly curved, ends very obtuse (sausage-shaped), 1-septate, the 
septum situated one-third the distance from the base, slightly or 
not at all constricted, colourless, with a hyaline border, 65-75 x 8- 
10 p ; paraphyses numerous, filiform throughout, often slightly 
wavy.

Alabama. 
Examination of the type specimens proves the two species 
cited above to be identical. I have seen free spores agreeing in 
form and size with those described above, having 3 septa, and pale 
brown. This is probably the mature condition of the spores of 
this species, although I have not seen such in an ascus. The 
measurements of the spores given by Saccardo are erroneous, and 
furthermore are not correct translations of Berkeley’s measure- 
ments. Ellis, N. Amer. Pyren., pp. 684-685, has apparently 
copied Saccardo’s errors. 
Glonium clusise, B. Sf C. 
Gregarious ; often, but not always, in patches, producing no 
discoloration of the leaf ; perithecia immersed, blackish, linear, 
straight or curved, and sometimes triradiate, 1-1*5 mm. long ; asci 
cylindrical, base attenuated, 8-spored ; spores obliquely uniseriate, 
elliptic-oblong, ends very obtuse, 1-septate, not constricted at the 
septum or only very slightly, clear brown, 14-16 x 6 p ; paraphyses 
linear, very slightly thickened upwards. 
Hysterium clusice, B. & C., Journ. Linn. Soc., Vol. x., p. 372. 
Glonium clusice, B. & Br., Sacc. Syll., Vol. ii. , No. 5608. 
On dead leaves of Clusice parasitica. Cuba. 
Glonium tardum, Berk. 
Gregarious ; perithecia broadly elliptical or often almost circular 
in outline, nearly plain, smooth and even, black, remaining for a 
long time intact, then opening by a very minute, short slit; asci 
broadly clavate, shortly stipitate, 8-spored ; spores irregularly bi- 
seriate, broadly elliptical with a medium septum, not at all con- 
stricted, colourless ; paraphyses not seen, probably absent.
