Oil bark of Ahie.i^ balmmea, North Elba, N. Y. (Peck.) (ABspitose, 
Biumpent, perithecia ovate-globose, papillate, i—i millLni. in diam., 
bright red, not collapsing, smooth; asci cylindrical, 80—90 x ; spo- 
ridia biconical or acutely elliptical, hyaline, iiniseptate, nniseriate, 12—Id

The specimen above ipioted and from which these characters were 
drawn was sent to us as ‘‘ JY. halsamea, C. & P.,” but can not be that spe¬ 
cies, which has very different sporidia and collapsed perithecia, but is 
evidently the N. cmurbitula, Tode., as described in Sylloge, II, p. 484, 
and illustrated in Kunze’s Fungi Select!, No. lOd. 
Note.— When the July number of the Journal was printed, we did 
not know that this species was found in this country.
