Conwothyrium ribicolum P. Brun. Act. Soc. Linn. Bordeaux’ 1808, 
p. 14. 
Perithecia globose, subglobose or globose-conical, black ; 
spores subglobose or subovoid, sooty-brown, simple, rarely 1-2 
guttulate, 3-4 x 2p. 
On dead branches of Rides nigrune. 
The specimens collected by Mr. Rea on the 7th of June, 1906, 
in the garden of The Manor House Farm, Sheriff’s Lench, Wor- 
cestershire, were growing on the twigs of Ribes Grossularia and 
causing very great damage to the trees. The perithecia were 
developed below the epidermis, they are subglobose, more broad 
than deep, measuring about 140x 80u. The spores are rather 
elliptical, broad at the ends, 4-6 x 2u. The differences from the 
type are too slight to justify the making of a new species.

stalked 110-120 x 11-12. Paraphyses thread-shaped, curved at 
the apex, 120-130x 2p. Ascospores crowded together, needle 
shaped, hyaline, multiguttulate, at length pseudo-septate, 30-35

the darker and more highly coloured pileus, the pulverulent 
stem which is generally sulcate in czrc7zans and its smaller size.
