Tubenf in September, 189"). It takes the form of two large aecidia, which make their appearance on the outer or inner side of the cone-scales of spruce. The white peridia break througli the epidermal tissues which then remain as a brownish sheath around each ruptured peridium (Fig. 251). The spores are separated by inter- mediate cells, and their outer coats are studded with poly- gonal warts. The cone-scales bearing aecidia contain a very large quantity of starch. Tel- eutospores of the species are unknown. Peridermium coruscans The mycelium of this fungus seems to perennate in twigs and buds of spruce. Twigs unfold from the bud as deformed, shortened, cone-like shoots bearing very short broad needles of a pale colour. The aecidia are produced on the deformed needles as broad lineal cushions with white peridia. They originate under the epidermis which tliey rupture, and break out on one side of the needle.
