A NEW SPECIES OF BERLESIELLA. 
A. P. MORGAN. 
Berlesiella hispida Morgan sp. nov. 
I. Botryodiplodia. Stromata cortical, erumpent, elongated, 
black; perithecia numerous, compact, prominent, rough, black. 
Sporules obovoid-oblong, at first simple and hyaline, at length 
brown and i-septate, 25-30 x 14-17 mic. 
II. Berlesiella. Stroma thin, cortical, erumpent, black, the 
perithecia seated upon it and csespitose or more or less effused. 
Perithecia large, black, subglobose, simply perforate, hispid with 
slender, septate, black hairs; asei cylindric, with a short stalk, 
150-25 x 18-22 mic., the paraphyses very slender; spores elliptic- 
oblong, at first hyaline, at length yellow-brown, transversely 4-7- 
septate, with a few longitudinal septa, usually constricted in the 
middle, 25-35 x 10-14 mic. 
Growing on the bark of Aesculus glabra, Preston, O., Jan¬ 
uary, 1897. The perithecia crowded together on the circular or 
much elongated stroma, which grows in. the bark beneath the 
epidermis, bursting or splitting it at an early stage of its growth. 
The most obvious mark of the genus Berlesiella appears to 
be its setulose perithecia; the color of the spores is not different 
from that in some species of Cucurbitaria.
