There were also scattered on the mycelium some large (20 x 10) 
elliptical, brown, 1-septate spores but we could not ascertain 
whether they were produced from the threads of the mycelium 
or not. 
Dialonectria (Nectriella) consors, E. & E.—On dead stems 
of Polygonum acre. St. Martinsville, La., Sept. 1888. Lang- 
lois 1485. 
Gregarious. Perithecia ovoid, | mm. diam., light-scarlet, 
clothed except the obtusely conic smooth ostiolum with short 
spreading pale bristle-like hairs. Asci sublanceolate, 60—70 x 6, 
Sporidia obliquely uniseriate or biseriate, oblong-fusoid, hyaline, 
2-3-nucleate, 7—9 x 2J. Accompanied by a Volutella resembling 
V. ciliata but with minute oblong-cylindrical, 3—4 x 1 conidia. 
Dialonectria gibberelloides, E. & E.—On dead stalks of 
Zea Mays , Pointe a la Hache, La., Oct. 1886. Langlois No. 1457. 
Perithecia scattered, nearly black, 150—200 micr., contracted 
below into a short stipe like base, at length collapsing. Asci 
oblong or clavate-oblong, sessile, about 35 x5, without para- 
phj^ses, Sporidia subbiseriate, fusoid, 1-septate, straight or a 
little curved at one end, yellowish-hyaline, 12—15 x 2J—3. The 
perithecia are of fine cellular structure without any trace of the 
blue color seen in Gibberella.

Magnolia. St. Martinsville, La., July ’88. Langlois 1480. 
Perithecia gregarious, hypophyllous, immersed l —J mm. diam., 
slightly prominent and covered by the blackened cuticle., which is 
pierced by the papilliform ostiolum, Asci cylindrical, 75—85 x 
5—6, without paraphyses. Sporidia uniseriate, oblong-elliptical, 
pale-brown, 2-3-nucleate, 7—8 x 3—4, with a faint, obtuse hyaline 
apiculus about 1| micr. long at the lower end and a rather shorter 
one at the upper end. 
Yalsa (Eutypella) microcarpa, E. <fc E.—On decaying limbs 
of (peach)? St. Martinsville, La., July 7 88. Langlois 1481. 
Perithecia in clusters of 4—12 buried in the inner bark which 
is uniformly stained of a pale slate color, their bases scarcely 
penetrating the wood, globose, about J mm. diam. with thick 
coriaceous walls, black and shining within. The surface of the 
bark is raised into distinct pustules over the perithecia and is 
more or less cracked and pierced by the cylindrical, rough, black, 
1—2 mm. long ostiola which are distinctly quadrisulcate-cleft at 
their tips and issue in a little fascicle with their bases more or 
less connate but diverging above. Asci minute, 12—14x4—5
