Hypocreaceae. 
Cord veeps superficialis Pk. (Not C. acicu laris Rav. of the North 
American Flora.) Description as follows: Stromata gregarious, 
brownish-yellow to reddish-yellow, elongate, slender, often flexu- 
ous, furfuraceous, 3-5 cm. high, 1 mm. thick, the cylindrical stalks 
arising often from a net-work of strands, fertile heads hardly 
thicker than the stalk, except from the thickness due to the sub- 
superficial perithecia, acuminate and sterile at apex for 2-4 mm.; 
perithecia nearly superficial, loosely aggregate, oval, reddish flesh- 
color, G5-70 micr. long; asci cylindrical, narrowed below, or 
slightly narrower at both ends, 150-175 micr. long, 5-6 micr. 
thick. Spores filiform, hyaline, at length many-celled, 1 micr. 
thick. 
The sterile, acuminate-pointed apex, superficial, reddish, small per- 
ithecia, and gregarious, subcaespitose stromata, separate this 
from C. aricularis and Cl. stylophora. Growing on larvae, among 
rotting debris of woods. Near South Haven. July, fide CL H. Iv. 
leg. Mrs. C. H. Kauffman.
