Haplaria chlorina. — Forming thin, greenish-yellow patches, 
■S-i''"^' in diameter, hyphse erect caespitose, 3-4 together, brownish 
under the microscope, slender, 4-5-septate, tips minutely roughened 
and bearing numerous subglobse or slightly elliptical, 1.5-2x1-1.5/^ 
hyaline conidia. 
Magnolia, Newfield, N. J. July 
ViRGARiA OLiVACEA. — Hyphse erect, simple, olive-brown, faintly 
septate below, slightly enlarged and paler, with a wavy outline, above, 
125x2. s/i ; conidia solitary, obovate, brown, terminal, 4X3-5A<- 
Forming an olive-brown, velvet-like coating extending for i-3'""" along 
the surface of a dry dead oak-limb. 
Newfield, N. J., Aug. 1883. 
Differs from V. ghbigera, ^. & E., in its olivaceous color and 
smaller conidia, without any granular contents. 
Spicaria fumosa.— Hyphae erect, solitary, smoky-brown, obscure- 
ly septate and mostly swollen at intervals, attached by a small, disk- 
like expansion at base, 70-80x3/^, subverticillately divided above 
into 2-5, short (7-8/*) hyaline branches, swollen at base and bearing 
at their tips a series of oblong, hyaline, continuous, 2.5-75/^ conidia, 
placed end to end so as to form a continuous chain or necklace, 
2o-40yU long and appearing, when examined in the dry state, as a 
faintly septate continuation of the terminal branches of the hyphae, 
t>ut quickly separating into its component conidia on the application 
of water. 
On the spines of old chestnut-burs. Fairmount Park, Philadel- 
phia, Pa. July, 1883. Hugo Bilgram. 
Septoria flagellapis.— On orbicular, reddish-brown spots 
(i-a"""), definitely limited and often concentrically wrinkled, some- 
times whitening out on the upper surface, apparently by the peeling 
off of the cuticle; perithecia either solitary in the centre of the spots 
or 2-3 together, sublenticular, 80-1 2oyu in diameter ; spores 35-1 i4x 
1-5/^, nucleate, or oftener 4-8-septate, broader at one end and gradu- 
ally attenuated to the other.

y'ccia on less definitely limited spots. S. Septum, uesm., aiso uiucia 
»n Its spores being twice as broad, and in the different appearance of 
the spots. 
Phyllosticta SPH.EROPSOIDEA.— Spots reddish brown, with a 
"ght yellow border, varying in size and shape, i-2='"-, or, by conflu- 
ence, larger; perithecia scattered, punctiform, immersed, opening 
above, but also projecting on the lower surface of the leaf, though
