iilose coat; asci lanceolate, narrowed and snbtruncate above, 25—30 x5—6 
/^-, containing eight clavaie or cylindric-oblong, biseriate sporidia, 
5—6 X U—/^-, 2-nucleate at first and probably becoming iiniseptate.

129. Dialonectria BiiASSiCiE (Ell. & Sac.) Mich. II, p. 374. On 
dead cabbage stalks left in the ground over winter and on old potato 
stems, Newtield, X. J., July, 1880 and 1881. 
Perithecia densely gregarious, globose-conoid, not collapsing, very 
small (i millim.), blood-red, ostiolum rather obtuse-conic, texture loosely- 
cellular, rose-tinted, those around the ostiolum paler; asci clavate- 
cylindrical, 60 x 7—8 !*■, without paraphyses, briefly-stipitate, obtuse at 
the apex, containing eight oblong, subclavate, hyaline, iiniseptate, 10—11 
X 4—sporidia. This was first found on the cabbage stalks and at 
about the same time next year on old potato stalks lying scattered over 
the same ground previously occupied by the cabbages. Xone could be 
found on any potato stalks in any other part of the field. 
ISO. Dialonectria thujana (Rehm.) Ascom., Ko. 338. Sacc. 
Syll. II, p. 493. On dead foliage of white cedar not yet fallen from the 
branches of a tree cut some time previously, Kewfield, N. J. (Novem¬ 
ber, 1875.).? 
Perithecia very minute, scarcely visible to the naked eye, solitary or 
2—3 together, conic-globose, slightly depressed at the apex, purplish-red ; 
asci oblong-elliptical, 60—80 x 10—14 P-, with ,eight biseriate, oblong, tw'O- 
celled, hyaline sporidia, slightly constricted in the middle and about 
11 X 7 becoming at length subfuscous. 
131. Dialonectria depallens, Ck. & Hark. Grev. XII, p. 82. 
On stems of Lupinus, California. Ilarkness, No. 2432. 
Scattered or gregarious, superficial, brick-red, fading out; perithecia 
subglobose, smooth, bare, opaque (one fifth to one fourth millim.); asci 
clavate, 8-spored ; sporidia lanceolate subacute at each end, iiniseptate, 
not constricted, hyaline, 22—24 x 4—41 p. 
132. Dialonectria depauperata (Cke.) Grev. VII, p. 50. On 
Yucca aloijolia, Aiken, So. Car. Raven el. No. 2564. 
Perithecia globose, scarlet, scarcely papillate, 1—3 in a stroma 
[Fusarium Yuccae); asci clavate ; sporidia elliptical, iiniseptate, lOx 31/^'-; 
stylospores fusiform, curved, acute at each end, 25 x 3 /^. We have never 
seen the original specimens on Yucca and have copied the foregoing 
from Grevillea. 
The specimens in N. A. F., 677, on Clethra (or Amlromeclaf) were 
submitted to Dr. Cooke, who remarked that they did not differ, either in 
habit or in fruit, from his Kectria depauperata, though on a very different 
host plant. From an examination of these specimens, we add the follow¬ 
ing notes : Perithecia ovoid-globose, small (160—190 /<), pale and furfura- 
ceous at first, becoming bare and pale red ; ostiolum papillate and slightly 
darker; asci clavate-cylindrical, 35—40 x 4 p-, sessile; sporidia oblong- 
elliptical, subbiseriate, 9—11 x 3—3| p. There are often six and even ten 
perithecia on each erumpent, white, byssino-grumose stroma.
