extus atro-brunneis vel atris, intus vivide flavo-virentibus, 
ostiolis peritheciorum non vel vix punctatis ; peritheciis distichis 
usque tristichis, globoso-conicis ; ascis lineari-cylindraceis, parte 
sporifera 60 ad 85 p. longa, 4.5 ad 6 ja crassis, octosporis ; sporidiis 
biglobosis, hyalinis, levibus, intra ascos jam secedentibus, arti- 
culis 4 ad 4.5 p diam.

dead bark. 
The species differs from others of the genus by the stromata, which 
are not superficial from the beginning, but at first immersed. At first 
sight the fungus looks like a Diatrype. 
HYSTEROSTOMELLA Spegazzini 
HYSTEROSTOMELLA PSYCHOTRIAE Syd. sp. nov. 
Stromatibus hypophyllis, plerumque plus minus dense aggre- 
gatis, subinde 1-2 confluentibus, plerumque rotundatis, 0.5 ad 
1.25 mm diam., atris, opacis, superficialibus, planis, membrana- 
ceis, facile secedentibus, centre plerumque tuberculo minuto 
punctiformi praeditis, marginem versus irregulariter radiatim 
contextis ibique ex hyphis dense connatis fuscis 2 ad 3 p, crassis 
compositis ; loculis irregulariter dehiscentibus, tandem late 
apertis; ascis clavatis, apice rotundatis, deorsum leniter at- 
tenuatis, subsessilibus, aparaphysatis, 32 ad 40 p longis, 8 ad 10 
p latis, octosporis; sporidiis distichis, intra ascos tantum visis, 
1-septatis, oblongis, circa 9 ad 12 /x longis, 3 ad 4 p latis, fus- 
cidulo-coerulescentibus, sed baud jam maturis.

It is a pity that the specimens are not quite mature. Although we have 
seen the sporidia only in the interior of the asci, yet we believe they are two- 
celled with a bluish tint. In habit, the fungus has the same appearance as 
Hysterostomella Myrtacearum Rehm. Perhaps the measurements of the 
sporidia must later be corrected when ripe material has been examined. 
SCHI20THYRIUM Desmazieres 
SCHIZOTHYRIUM ACERIS (P. Henn. & Lindau) Pat. 
Luzon, Subprovince of Benguet, Merrill 7910, May, 1911. On leaves of 
Acer sp. 
ASTERINA Leveille 
ASTERINA CASSIAE Syd. sp. nov. 
Mycelio tenui, epiphyllo, maculiformi vel plus minus effuso, 
atro, ex hyphis tenuibus dilute fuscis dense ramosis 3 ad 4 p, 
crassis parce septatis (articulis longitudine variabilibus, mox 
15 ad 20 p, mox multo longioribus) composite; hyphopodiis baud 
numerosis, plerumque alternantibus, rarissime oppositis, con-
