Syll. I, p. 395. We do not get a clear idea of what is meant by 
“cingulis peritheciis,” but suspect that D. cinglata (Lev.) is the 
same as D. vernicosa . There is nothing in Leveille’s description 
to distinguish this from Sphce.rici vernicosa , Schw. 
Daldinia loculata, (Lev.)— Sphceria loculata , Lev. 1. c.— 
Globosa, substipitata, atra, opaca; peritheciis obovatis stromate 
nigro immersis, ostiolis prominulis, nitidis, subhemisphericis; ascis 
sporidiisque generis. Hab. in America, ad truncos, Stipes brevis 
asperulus. This too is copied from the Sylloge and is all we know 
about it. * 
USTULINA, Tul. Scl. Carp. II. p. 23.—Stroma superficial, sub- 
effused, rather thick,, determinate, at first carnose-suberose and 
clothed with the pulverulent, cinereous conidial hymenium, finally 
rigid, carbonaceous, black and bare and generally more or less 
hollow. Perithecia immersed, large, with papilliform ostiola. 
Asci pedicellate, 8-spored, paraphysate. Sporidia ovoid-fusi¬ 
form, continuous, dark colored,

On roots of decaying stumps. Found in Europe, America and 
Australia. Common throughout the eastern U. S. and reported 
by Dr. Harkness from California. Stroma superficial, subeffused, 
3 cm. diam. repand pulvinate, thick (3—4 mm.), surface even, 
white and subtomentose finally undulate-colliculose and black, 
substance almost gelatinous at first, then hard and tough almost 
like Daedalea betulina, at length very brittle and hollow, cen¬ 
trally attached. Perithecia large, ovate, densely crowded, monos- 
tichous, the punctiform ostiola alone projectiong. Asci narrow— 
cylindrical, pedicellate, 8-spored, 250 x 8—10 (p. sp.); para- 
physes slender, evanescent. Sporidia obliquely uniseriate, fusoid, 
inequilateral or slightly curved, finally opake, 32—40 x 8—10. 
Tode (1. c.) gives a very minute and accurate account of this 
fungus.
