JOLTllNAL OF MYCOLOGY.

marj:?in sliftiitly pubescent, soon conilnent; sporophores nt first cylin- 
drical 75—80 x 3—4 at lengtli branching above and bearing glo- 
l)ose bodies (tlie true sporophores?) 7—8 p- in diam., attached, two 
or three together, in an impertectly racemose manner, both lateral and 
terminal. Many of the erect threads remain sterile and resemble the 
paraphyses of a Fezim. A re-examination of the specimens published 
in Vol. I, p. 149, of this Journal, and distributed in N. A. F., No. 1587, 
shows, though less distinctly, the presence of the globose bodies just 
mentioned, and these should, perhaps, be considered as the true spor¬ 
ophores. 
Feziza ( Taresia ) iiETEROMORPnA, E. & E.— On the base of 
culms of the Sixtrtina %>oli)stadiya. May. Langlois, No. 458. Subicu- 
lum brown-black, forming a felt-like coat extending for some inches 
along the culm and consisting of densely matted hypha3; receptacles 
scattered, globose at first, with a small, round opening with a white 
margin and pallid-white disk (hymenium), at length expanding to 
nearly plane or even slightly convex, with margin subundulate and disk 
flesh colored, 2—8 millini. diam.; asci clavate-cylindrical, about 70 x 6—7 
with abundant paraphyses; sporidia eight in an ascus, fusoid-cylin- 
drical, slightly curved, hyaline, 3—4-nucleate, with endochrome at 
length three times divided (pseudo-septate), about 20 x 2^—3 p. The 
young receptacles are clothed with whitish, spreading hairs. 
COSCINAEIA, Ell. & Everhart, nov. gen.—Perithecia membrana¬ 
ceous, multi-perforate above; asci and sporidia (in the single species 
known) linear. The genus pertains to the Pyrenomycetes. 
C. Langloisii, E. & E.—On dead stems of Vigiia luteola. June, 1886. 
Langlois, No. 487. Perithecia tuberculiform, erumpent, soft, i—i millim. 
in diam., pale flesh-color or horn-color when fresh, becoming nearly black 
when dry, surrounded by the ruptured epidermis, of cellular-fibrose struct¬ 
ure, convex or nearly plane above and pierced with 25—30 small, round 
holes (ostiola); asci linear, 150—200 x5/^-; paraphyses (?); sporidia fili¬ 
form, multinucleate, nearly as long as the asci and 1 p thick, nearly hya¬ 
line. The perithecia sometimes tall out and leave little pits wliere they 
stood. They resemble, outwardly, a small Tubercularia. 
llYROXYLON nicoLOR, E. & E.—Ou dead limbs of Quercu!^ virena, 
Jjanglois, No. 3P1, Stroma tubercidar-hemispheric, about2 millim. across, 
surface slightly even from the subjacent perithecia and punctate from 
their ostiola almost as in II. piinctidatum, B. A llav., color dull reddish 
or purplish outside and light yellow within ; perithecia subperipheric, 
closely packed, about i millim. in diam.; asci narrow cylindrical with a 
slender base, about 100 x 6 p ; sporidia in a single series, subnavicular or 
narrow elliptical and subinequilateral, pale yellowish at first, then 
opaque, 1—2 nucleate, 9—12 x 34—44 p, ends sid)acute. Closely allied to 
IL fiiscum, Pers., from which it differs but little outwardly, but the 
stroma, yellow inside, will distinguish it.
