[Vor,. II, 
ment. In the Newfield specimens, which were on Panicum [capillare ?), 
the fungus forms an even layer entirely siirronnding the culm, just below 
the internodes, with just the same habit as JEpicliloe typhina and without 
any tubercular projections, as in the specimens from all the otlier local¬ 
ities mentioned.

Forming a thin black stratum on the under side of tlie leaves 
of grasses in Cuba and of Andropogon in Alabama. I^erithecia globose 
and, with the ostiola, immersed; sporidia liliforrn.” Does this dilfer 
from Dotliidea atramentaria., B. & C.V 
b. Perithecia separate. 
5G. Hypocrea tuberiformis, B. & Hav. Grev. IV, p. 13. Bav., 
F. Am., 733. “ Magna, tuberiformis, mycelio radiato, albo aflixa.’" On 
stems of Arundanaria. Car. Inf., Bavenel, Xo. 1220. 
“ Forming eitlier a large mass f of an inch across or two or three dis¬ 
tinct, subglobose individuals, fixed to the stem by a radiating, white, 
rugose mycelium ; at first yellowish, then black.” 
Apparently, the original specimens were imperfect and, as those in 
Rav. F. Am. are either young or sterile, we can only say that the peri¬ 
thecia are subcylindrical and stand on the stroma like the young horns 
of Podisoma macropus. about 1 mi Him. high. 
The following species are imperfect or obscure : 
57. Hypocrea parasitans, B. & C. Grev. IV, p. 15. 
''Minuta, subelliptica, pruinosa, pallida; spoils majoribus, subglo- 
bosis. On Hydnum erinaceum, Car. Inf., No. 6190. Minute, pallid, sub- 
elliptic, sometimes winding around the teeth; spores globose, rather 
large.” 
58. Hypocrea suBYiRiBis, B. & C. Grev. 1. c. 
Eft'usa pallide viridis tomentosa in mycelio niveo insidens. On 
dead grass leaves. Car. Inf., 4955. Effused; perithecia pale dull green, 
toinentose, crowded, seated on a white mycelium. A curious species.’’ 
59. Hypocrea stertltor, Schw. 8yn., N. Am., 1188. 
Substance at first rather soft, broadly effused, applanate, surface 
longitudinally striate, fiesh-color, becoming light yellow. When dry, the 
margin is very delicate, cottony, with interwoven fibres, with which the 
whole appears smoothly (lightly ?) covered; texture carnose-horny; 
perithecia few, scattered ; about an inch in circumference and two lines 
thick.” 
60. Hypocrea sublobata, Schw. Syn., N. Am., 1225. 
“ Scutellate, small, slightly attached, margin obtuse, lobate-repand, 
black, then subolivaceous; surface fiat, rugiilose; perithecia subper- 
ipheric, in a single layer, becoming yellow, immersed in the light yellow 
stroma ; ostiola impressed ; not exceeding 2—3 lines in diam. On bark 
of Phtfnnnfi. Bethlehem, Ha."
