NP]VV SPECIES OF FUNGI FROM VARIOUS LOCALITIES. 
Sit 
divided by a longitudinal septum. Allied to S. larvatum^ C. & E., but 
(piite distinct from IS. helicospovum^ Sacc., in which the conidia are repre¬ 
sented as arising from prostrate threads. 
Rhizoctonia carnea, E. & E.—Among decaying chips, Potsdam, 
New York. Consisting of oblong, or subglobose, flesh-colored tuber¬ 
like bodies about d of an inch think and i—i an inch long, either grown 
together in irregular-shaped botryoidal masses, or lying singly, and con¬ 
nected by a white, fibrous mycelium. 
Cylindrocollacylindropiiora, E. & E.—On the under side of rot- 
pine logs. Newfleld, New Jersey, Nov., 1885. When fresh, appearing 
like minute (1 millim.), milky, or nearly transparent drops of a soft, gel¬ 
atinous texture. This gelatinous mass is filled with fasciculate, erect, 
slender, dichotomous threads, bearing, laterally, oblong-cylindrical, hy¬ 
aline spores which are at first granular, but become l-septate and about 
20—24 X 5—6 The gelatinous masses are sometimes confluent for 
8—4 millim. When dry, the fungus disappears entirely, but, on moist¬ 
ening the specimen for a few hours, appears again. 
Nectkia poliosa, E. & E.—l^arasitic < n Diatry))e platystoma, Schw. 
Florida, Jan., 1886. W. W. Calkins, No. 188. Perithecia scattered, 
membranaceous, orange red, ovate-globose, one sixth millim. in diame¬ 
ter, sparsely clothed, except the papilliform ostiolum, with straight, 
spreading, hyaline, septate, glandular hairs, about eipial in length to half 
the diameter of the perithecia. Asci sessile, oblong-cylindrical, about 
75x12/'-; sporidia biseriate, oblong, or suhfusiform-oblong, and subin- 
equilateral, hyaline, uniseptate and slightly constricted at the septum, 
containing several nuclei irregularly placed, 18—22 x 7—8 /', ends round¬ 
ed, or subacute. The hairs which clothe the perithecia are at first about 
7/^-thick with the ends obtuse and a little swollen, but at length they 
become elongated and attenuated above. 
This must be nearly allied to N. tephrothele, lierk., but in the de¬ 
scription of that species, the perithecia are not described as hairy. 
Nectria coccicoLA, E. & E.—On scale lice on bark of living 
orange trees. Florida. Corn. Prof. F. L. Scribner, l^erithecia csespitose, 
membranaceous, about 1 millim. in diameter and 4 millim. high, flesh 
color, becoming dirty buff when mature, obovate, astomous, surface 
roughish, with a few scattered white rudimentary hairs, or at length 
bald. Asci clavate-cylindrical, 150—15)0 x 20 /', with abundant, rather 
stout paraphyses ; sporidia eight in an ascns, clavate-cylindrical, multi- 
nucleate, hyaline, no—140x6—7 /'-at the uppei’ end, attenuated helow. 
The groups of perithecia are seated eitlier on the shells of dead insects 
or on the bark itself, with a suhiculum more or less distinct.composed of 
white decumbent, or prostrate, hairs of the same character as those 
found on the perithecia themselves, ddie^species seems to be (juite 
distinct from any of those described under the snbgenus Op/n’onrc/rn/ 
where this belongs.
