ITrints of both kinds collected in marginal pro じ ferations in a ne- 
matheciose manner. Cjstocarps are collected beneath the fla れ is]! surface 
of marginal roundish proliferated s[)orophy り s ; they are also found 
forming a roundish nemathecia beneaih the apex of marginal and ter- 
minal elongated proliferations and sometimes in the similar position 
of termmal no 打 - proliferous segments. 「 ret:,raspores are aggregated 
forming an intramarginal sorns in lateral roiiiiclisii proliferations, whose 
margin remain sterile and is elevated into a thick rim. 
The structure of the む o 打 d is very dense ； the medullary layer 
consi が s of densely aggiregated shortish filamentous cells firmly united 
to each other by hyaline iiiterceliular siib が ance ; the intermediate cells 
are of roundish angular cells wliich become gradually smaller above,

meclually layer is more loose, む om whicii moniUform filaments arise, 
among which oblong teti.aspores are lodged. 
Color is deep blood-red, becoming もけ ker in drying. Substance is 
strongly cartilaginous becoming very stiff when dried. -
