 Q.uite different from C. consociata Winter, 



Cercospora glandulosa, E. & K. 



On leaves of Ailanthus glandulosa, Manhattan, Ks., 

 March 1884. Ilypophyllous on reddish brown spots (*|.s — ^j^ cm) 

 limited above by a slightly raised border; hyphae caespitose, 

 brown, stout, subundulate above, 50 — 70 X 4— 5/<; conidia 

 hyaline, slender^ 3 — 5 septate, 70 — 100 X 3 — 3^2 i^*? gi^^" 

 dually narrowed above. The spots become at length dirty 

 wdiite above. 



Ramularia Euonymi^ E. & K. 



On leaves of E. a tro purpureas, Manhattan, Ks., 

 Oct. 1884. Amphigenous, on dirty white spots, 2 — 3 mm in 

 diam. , with a dark but scarcely raised border. Hyphae, 

 arising from a tubercular base, caespitose, hyaline, simple 

 and subentire or slightly toothed above; conidia concatenate, 

 obloiig - cylindrical , mostly 1 septate (occasionally 2 — 3 sep- 

 tate) hyaline, 20 — 25 X 3 ^. Accompanied by minute, 

 black, immature perithecia scattered over dead parts o( 

 the leaf the whole being probably the conidial and pycnidial 

 stage of some Sphaerella. This has much the same general 

 appearance as Cercospora Euonymi, ElK, but the spots 

 5)re larger and more irregular in shape without any distinct 

 colored border, and the character of the conidia show it 

 to be quite distinct from that species. 



Ascochyta Atrip licis, Desm. var. effusa, E. & K. 



On fading leaves of A triplex, Great Bend, Ks., Aug. 

 1884. Differs from the normal form in the absence of spots, 

 the perithecia 100 — 120 ^i in diam., being evenly scattered 

 over the surface of the leaves and filled with oblong- 



4 — 5 /* spores. 



Gloeosporium fusarioides, E. & K. 

 On leaves of Asclepias Cornuti, Great Bend, Ks., 

 Aug. 1884. Spore masses ^/^ — ^/4 mm in Diam. Subcuticu- 



lar, scattered irregularly or collected in groups, in which 

 case the part of the leaf occupied assumes a dark brownish 

 look. The spores ooze out on both surfaces of the leaf but 

 more abundantly above, being of an oblong-cylindrical shape, 

 20—30 X 5 — G /u, filled with greenish granular matter and 

 globose transparent nuclei. The spores spring from elon- 

 gated cells (basidia) arising directly from the inner surface 

 of the hy menial cavity.
