4-5/A, paraphysate. Sporidia subbiserate, ovate-oblong, hyaline, 
continuous, 4-4J x ii-i-J/*. 
This is different from Peziza sphaenicola Schw. which is de¬ 
scribed as strigose and brown with a white margin. 
Trematosphaeria clavispora E. & E. On dead limbs of 
Artemisia tridentata, Steamboat Springs, Colorado, July, 1902. 
(Bethel 937.) 
Scattered, superficial, easily deciduous, ovate-conical, not 
polished -J-f mm. high or broad. Asci clavate-cylindrical, stipi- 
tate, p. sp. 70-75 x 11-13/*, with abundant filiform paraphyses. 
Sporidia biseriate, clavate fusoid, slightly curved, 6-septate and 
slightly constricted at 2 or 3 of the middle septa, subhyaline at 
first, becoming yellow-brown. Seems easily distinct from any 
of the described species. The prominent conic-cylindrical ostio- 
lum is soon deciduous, leaving the perithecia broadly perforated. 
Cucurbitaria typhina E. & E. On dead stems of Rhus 
typhina, Harraby, Lake Resseau, Ont., Canada, Sept. 1902. (E. 
T. & S. A. Harper, No. 607.) Com. E. Bartholomew. 
Perithecia subglobose, about -J mm. diam., bursting through 
the bark 2-6 together. Ostiolum papilliform, inconspicuous, 
sometimes slightly compressed. Asci cylindrical, 120-150x15/*, 
attenuated below into a stipe-like base, 8-spored. Paraphyses 
obscure or wanting. Sporidia uniseriate, oblong or oblong-ellip¬ 
tical, obscurely about 6-septate and muriform, scarcely con¬ 
stricted, straw yellow, 22-27x12/-*, finally opake with the end 
cells subapiculate and hyaline. 
The perithecia are of a firm texture and white inside. This 
differs from C. stenospora E. & E. on Rhus diversiloba in its 
broader sporidia. 
Sphaerella (Mycosphaerella) caespitosa E. & E. On 
leaves of Quercus virginiana, Meridan, Texas, Apr. 1901. (W. 
H. Long, No. 957-) Com. E. Bartholomew. 
Hypophyllous. Perithecia minute (65-75/*), subconfluent- 
cespitose, 3-5 together forming a little tuft surrounded by the 
ruptured epidermis, the separate tufts collected in groups 1-3 
mm. across. Asci subcylindrical, 35-40x5-6/* diam. Sporidia 
subbiseriate, oblong-fusoid, i-septate, not constricted, 8-10 x 2J- 
3/*, hyaline. 
Sphaerella (Mycosphaerella) salicina E. & E. On 
dead shoots of Salix cordata, Rooks Co., Kansas, May, 1902. 
(Bartholomew, 2949.) 
Perithecia scattered or collected in little groups of 3-5, ovate, 
J-J mm. diam., and a little more than that in height, seated on 
the surface of the inner bark, and raising and rupturing the thin 
epidermis to which they adhere and come off with it when the 
epidermis is peeled off. It is then seen that they are strongly 
collapsed from below. Asci (p. sp.) oblong, "40-45x8-10/*.
