188. Dialonectiiia Curtisii, liei’k. (Irev. IV, p. 48. On Zea, So. 
Car. llavenel. 
“Minute, erumpent, scattered; asci lanceolate; sporidia oblong, 
curved, with four nuclei, 12 x 2 /^.” We have seen no specimens of this. 
139. Dialonectria ciilorinella, Cke. Grev. XI, p. 108. Rav. 
F. Am., 736. On bark of TJlmus, seaboard of So. Car. Kevenel. 
Scattered, superlicial, globose, lemon-yellow'; perithecia w ooly- 
tomentose, papillate, with ostiolum bare ; asci clavate ; sporidia elon¬ 
gated-elliptical, obtuse at each end, straight, or a little curved, 1-3- 
septate, hyaline, 18—20 x 5 P-. This species also ranges northw’ard. It 
has been found on blackened wmod of decaying oak limbs and on wood of 
Bhus^ at Newfield, X. J., and has also been sent on rotten wmod from 
Canada by Prof. Macoun. Prof. C. H. Peck has also found it in New 
York state. It might, with propriety, be placed in the genus Lophiostoma, 
as it has the peculiar compressed ostiolum of that genus and its sporidia 
are also indicative of that relationship. The specimens in our copy of 
Rav. F. Am. are immature, though evidently the same as the Newheld 
and Canada specimens. The latter have the sporidia fusiform, slightly 
curved, subhyaline, 1—3-septate and constricted at the middle septum. 
25—35 X 7—8 f-f -—very few less than 30 long ; asci 100—120 x 12—15 /', 
with abundant paraphyses. Really this should be placed in Lophiostoma. 
140. Dialonectria erubescens (Desm.) Sacc. Syll. II, p. 545. 
On the under side of living leaves of Quercus laurifolia, 3{yrica cerifera 
and Olea Americana, Florida (Dr. Martin and W. W. Calkins). Mostly 
on mycelium of Meliola. 
Scattered or gregarious, superhcial, wdth white, wooley, radiating 
iiairs at base; perithecia minute, pale red, globose, finally collapsing, 
soft, glabrous, with a papilliform ostiolum ; asci clavate, 35—40 x 7—8 U -; 
sporidia oblong-fusoid, straight or slightly curved, hyaline, 3—4-nucleate, 
becoming 1—3-septate, ends subacute (10 x 3 y, Sacc.) Specimens on 
Olea have the sporidia 12—16 x 21—3 /^. Calonectria leucorrhodina (Mont ), 
Sacc. Syll. II, p. 548, according to So. American specimens from Speg- 
azzini, scarcely differs from this, except in its epiphyllous growth. 
141. Dialonectria diploa, B. & C., var. diminuta. Grev. IV, p. 46. 
On some sphseria, on alder. So. Car. Ravenel. 
“Very minute, scarlet; asci lanceolate, but obtuse; sporidia some¬ 
times larger, binucleate, at length uniseptate, in one row, or smaller, 
biseriate, quadrinucleate, 25—30 !/■ long.” 
142. Dialonectria fulvida, E. A E. Jouru. Mycol. 1, p. 140. On 
bark of decaying oak limb lying on the ground, Newfield, N. J., Oct. 
7th, 1885. 
Perithecia superficial, gregarious, subglobose, small (one sixth 
millim.), tuberculose-squamulose, light yellowy collapsing when dry ; 
ostiolum large, but not prominent; asci oblong-cylindrical, nearly 
sessile, obtuse, about 75 x 10—12 surrounded by indistinct paraphyses ;
