OHIO BIOLOGICAL SURVEY 
sharply rounded at the ends, 23-33x14-18 mic., with a straight, cylindric 
primary appendage, about .3 to .7 as long as the spore and with long, 
lash-like gelatinous secondary appendages attached to the apex of the 
spore and the tip of the primary appendage, and composed of 2 closely 
united filaments which soon disappear after maturity of the spore. 
Habitat: On rabbit dung. 
Distribution: Ontario to New Jersey and Ohio. 
Illustrations: PI. VII, f. 6-8 and pi. VIII, f. 1-4; Ann. Rep. N.Y. 
State Mus. 28: pi. 2, f. 14-17; Mem. Torrey Club 11: pi. 7, f. 11-13. 
Type Locality: Newfield, New Jersey. 
Distinctive Characters: Hairy superficial perithecium^small papil¬ 
liform beak and spore appendages. 
Notes: Griffiths gives 450-600x350-400 mic.. for the size of the perithecia. My measurements 
were taken without cover-glass and represent the actual size of the plants found. 
Note: Plants cultivated in the laboratory, June 15, 1917, on rabbit dung, collected by Chas. R. 
Stevenson, at Stout, Jan. 1, 1917. 
5. Pleurage hyalopilosa sp. nov. 
Perithecia scattered, superficial or slightly sunken, pyriform with a 
short, straight or curved, black beak, 466-760x350-480 mic., somewhat 
pale olive-green below when young, becoming light-brown or dark-brown, 
transparent, thin, membranous, with beak and exposed portions covered 
with simple, smooth, indistinctly septate, hyaline hairs, evenly scattered 
or in tufts; paraphyses ventricose, septate, not mixed with asci; asci 
clavate-cylindric, rounded above and narrowed below into a long, crooked 
stipe, slightly immature ones 155-275x17.5-28 mic., expanding' at 
maturity to 55-65 mic. wide, 8-spored; spores 2-seriate, ranging from 
hyaline when^tlirough olivaceous to dark-brown and opaque, ellipsoid, 
19-33x14-20 mic., terminated below with a cylindric primary appendage 
usually as long or longer than the spore and which is tipped with a long, 
lash-like, gelatinous secondary appendage composed of 2 closely united 
filaments which become indistinguishable distally, while attached to the 
apex of the spore are 2-4 gelatinous appendages which seem to fuse 
together distally. 
Habitat: On dung of horses and cows. 
Distribution: Ohio. 
Illustration: PI. VIII, f. 5-9; pi. IX, f. 1-4. 
Type Locality: Oxford, Ohio. 
Distinctive Characters: Hyaline hairs covering exposed parts of the 
perithecia, and the spore appendages. 
Note: Plants cultivated in the laboratory, Jan. 27, 1917, on horse dung collected by Bruce 
Fink, at Mason, Aug. 10, 1914, and July 5, 1917, on cow dung collected by the author, at Oxford, 
Oct. 22, 1914. 
Pleurage immersa sp. nov. 
Perithecia scattered, sunken, pyriform with a short, black, cylindric 
or conic, projecting beak, 730-890x380-585 mic., pale-brown, transparent,
