    2751. Sphaerella punctoidea. Coolie. Dot Sphaerella, Perithecia black, shining, semi-innate, prominent, disposed in little groups of seven or eight on the upper surface of leaves, col- lapsed and concave when dry ; asci cylindrical, curved or flexuose ; aporidia uniseriate, elliptical or subcymbiform; hyaline highly refractive and colourless.—Cooke Seem. Jowm. (1866) 49,/. 9. On the upper surface of oak leaves. Shere, Surrey. Jed- burgh. Length of asci (-0021 in.) 056 m.m., of sporidia (-00045 in. (-0125 m.m. Quite distinct from S. punctiformis, with which it has probably been con- founded; the asci are cylindrical, the sporidia are longer, and the perithecia are different in habit and disposition, always occurring in small groups and on the upper surface only. S. maculoeformis often occurs on the under surface of the same leaf. 2752. Sphaerella myziadea. D.C. Cloudy SphEeria. Epiphyllous. Perithecia very minute, numerous, black, aggre- gated in large unequal cinereous patches; asci subfusiform; spo- ridia biseriate, elongated, triseptate, pointed at each extremity.— Cooke Seem. Journ.

Thousand-grain Sphffirella. Epiphyllous. Perithecia scattered, numerous and minute ; asci short, cylindrical; sporidia crovrded, linear, and uniseptate, the upper cell being ventricose.—Cooke Seem. Journ. (1866) t. 50,/. 15. Gonn. ^ Babh. v. t. 2,/. 17. On the upper surface of dead leaves of hornbeam. Shere, Surrey. Perithecia resembling those of S. myriadea, but not so closely aggregated, and not collected in definite patches. ' Sporidia (-0006 in.) -015 m.m. long. 2754. Sphaerella latebrosa. Coolte. Sycamore Sph^ella. _ Hypophyllous. Perithecia scattered over the surface, innate, minute, globose, black, scarcely visible till the epidermis is de- stroyed by exposure ; asci cylindrical, ventricose ; sporidia elon-
