manner, are about 1 millim. in diam, and, with the stroma to which 
they are attached, are finally deciduous.

BY J. B. ELLIS AND B. “M. EVERHART. 
Diatrypella hysterioides, E. & E.—On a decorticated poplar 
limb in a willow jungle. Louisiana. Langlois, No. 380. Stroma erum- 
pent, tuberculiform, prismatic, often deeply quadrisulcate and subcor- 
nute, i—1 millim. in diam., yellow inside (about the same shade of yel¬ 
low as in Hypoxylon Sassafras, Schw.), often elongated, hysteriiform 
(H—2 millim. long), with a longitudimJ furrow above like a Hysterium ; 
perithecia 2—6 in a stroma, i—i millin. in diam., with thick, black, cor¬ 
iaceous walls, narrowed above into a short neck, the apex of which is 
visible on the surface of the stroma as a small, papilliform or sometimes 
conic ostiolum ; asci clavate-cylindrical, with a slender base, 100—115 x 
10—12 y ( spore-bearing part 75—80 y ), Hied with a multitude of allan¬ 
toid, yellowish, 2-nucleate, 6—7 x H i>- sporidia. The species is well 
characterized by its peculiar stroma. The color of the young stroma is 
much deeper orange-red, but the color finally disappears. 
Lophiostoma heterostomum, E. ir, E.—On an oak barrel bottom. 
June. Langlois, No. 478. Perithecia (Tumpent, scattered or subgre- 
garious, i—I millim. in diam., depressed, spherical, the lower half sunk 
in the wood, the upper half emerging; ostiolum large, compressed, ex¬ 
tending at first nearly or quite across the perithecium, at length decidu¬ 
ous, leaving the perithecium pierced pbove with a small, round opening ; 
asci clavate-cylindrical, rounded above wid contracted below into a 
slender, stipe-like base, 70—80 x 6—7 y, suirounded with abundant, rath¬ 
er stout paraphyses and containing eiglt fusoid, 1-septate, hyaline, 
slightly curved, appendiculate sporidia, 18—20 x 44—5 y, 3—4 nucleate at 
first, but the nuclei and stout, 8—10 y long, lyaline appendages at length 
disappear, and the sporidia become constricted in the middle with the
