SPH>£RIA CALVA TODE. 
A. P. MORGAN. 
Sphaeria calva: simplex, sparsa, atra, papillata; hemis- 
phcerio superiore glabro , inferiore hispido. Tode, Fung. Meckl. 
This species was described by Tode as well as could be done 
at that time. It was not found by Persoon or by Albertini and 
Schweinitz. It was recognized by Fries; he observed that it was 
rare. Schweinitz records the species in the N. A. Fungi as found 
at Bethlehem, Pa. It appears in Saccardo’s Sylloge, in the first 
volume as Rosellinia calva , in the second volume as Lasiosphceria 
calva. Berlese has not seen it. Ellis and Everhart have avoided 
it entirely. 
I have several times found specimens which for want of a 
better name I have labeled Rosellinia calva (Tode). I may 
describe them as follows. 
Rosellinia (Conioch^eta) calva Tode.—Perithecia super¬ 
ficial, globose or ovoid, black, rough, papillate, naked above and 
clothed about the middle with very short black bristles. Asci 
cylindric, 8-sporous, the spores obliquely uniseriate, with a short 
stalk, ioo- nox ii - 14 mic., the spores brown, oval to ellipsoid,, 
smooth, 14 - 18 x 10 - 12 mic. 
Growing on old wood of Liriodendron; Preston, O. Perithecia 
gregarious, close or scattered; .25 - .30 mm., in diameter .
