biseriate, elliptical or ovate-elliptical, granular and multinucleate at

Mytilinidion Juniperi, E. & E.—On outer bark of living Juni- 
perus Virginiana, Newfield, N. J., April, 1888. Perithecia gregarious, 
about one mm. long, acute at each end, valves closely compressed and 
longitudinally striate, subshining ; asci about 100 x 7 p, cylindrical, sur¬ 
rounded by abundant paraphyses ; sporidia 1-seriate, oblong, brown, 
3-septate, 12—15 x 4—5 P . 
Nectria polytiialama, Berk.—Specimens of this species have 
been found by Mr. Commons, in Delaware, on dead hickory limbs agree¬ 
ing with the specimens in Rav. Car. except in the asci being 100—110 x 
15*/“ and sporidia 20—30 x 7—12 P. The perithecia also are a little larger 
(4—f mm.) and only slightly collapsed. They burst through cracks in 
the bark in clusters of 3—30 and are of a dull red color, dusted with a 
yellowish powder. Ostiolum papilliform, blackish. 
Nectria Missouriensis, E. & E.—On bark of dead Carya alba, near 
Concordia, Mo., March, 1888 Rev. C. II. Demetrio, No. 87. Perithecia 
ctespitose (6—20), on a small stromatic base, dark red, globose (I—£ mm.) 
furfuraceous, with a strongly papilliform ostiolum ; asci 100—120 x 
15—20 p, with abundant filiform, evanescent paraphyses; sporidia irregu¬ 
larly crowded, oblong-elliptical, straight or very slightly bulging on one 
side, yellowish-hyaline, muriform, 20—25 x 10—12 ends subacute. 
Dialonectria perforata, Ell. & Holw., in Geol. and Nat. Hist. 
Survey of Minn., Bull. No. 3, p. 33.—On a decaying Agaricus. Perithecia 
gregarious and subconfluent, one-sixth to one-fifth mm. in diameter, 
rough and pruinose-furfuraceous, pale at first, becoming orange-red. 
depressed-globose, ostiolum papilliform and collapsing when dry, so as to 
appear broadly perforated above; asci clavate-cylindrical, 75x7—8 /*, 
without paraphyses; sporidia obliquely uniseriate, elliptical or subovate, 
uniseptate, hyaline or with a faint tinge of rose color, 8—12 n 5—6 p. 
This comes very near N. vidpina , Cke., and possibly may not be specif¬ 
ically distinct. 
Dialonectria sulftjrea, Ell. & Calkins.—Parasitic on old Stereum 
rugosum , Ft., near Jacksonville, Fla.’, January, 1886. W. W. Calkins, 
No. 816. Scattered on a thin farinose-tomentose, yellow subiculum 
extending for one or more cm. ; perithecia ovate-conic, pruinose, yellow 
(nearly sulphur yellow), with a papillose ostiolum, one-eighth to one- 
sixth mm. in diameter. In the specimens thus far seen, the asci had 
disappeared, but there was an abundance of oblong or clavate-oblong, 
hyaline, 1-septate, 7—12 (mostly 8—9) x 24—34 p sporidia, distinctly con¬ 
stricted at the septum, ends rounded or obtusely pointed.
