purpurea, must be very rare in the vicinity of lakes, as no speci- 
mens have been seen. 
In addition to these plants already indexed, Pestalozzia 
aquatica, E. E., Journal of Mycology, V. 157, perhaps occurs 
on Minnesota Sarracenia. Some doubtful references to this 
species have been made. 
Two hyphomyetous imperfect forms, apparently undescribed, 
are abundant in some open morasses upon Minnesota S. pur- 
purea. A description of these is ventured. 
{ Flelminthosporium Sarracenta@, n. s. 
Brachysporium Sarracenia, n. s. 
The names are bracketed because there seems to be doubt 
whether both should not be referred to the same plant. Both 
Brachysportum and Helminthosportum conidia were noted in the 
same tufts, and it was found impossible to separate the two upon 
purely vegetative characters. 
HELMINTHOSPORIUM SARRACENIA, n. s. 
On dead leaves of Sarracenia purpurea: forms circular, black, 
velvety, somewhat confluent spots over whole affected leaf. Fer- 
tile hyphz erect, fasciculate, swollen nodally 75: 150==3.5: 7.5. 
brown, muleate. Conidia continuous to 4—septate, smooth, long- 
OVO 7.5 153: 8.14. 
BRACHYSPORIUM SARRACENIZ. 
On dead leaves of S. purpurea. Vegetative characters all as 
in Helminthosporium Sarracenie. Conidia, almost spherical, gener- 
ally devoid of pedicels, pluriseptate, of from eight to twelve cells, 
dark fuscous or carbonaceous, echinulate 15 : 30==15: 30. 
Under the artificial classification at present, perforce, adopted 
by mythologists, it was thought best to describe this plant under 
both form genera. The writer is of the opinion that only one 
plant is really in question. 
Specimens from which descriptions were made, were collected 
by Mr. E. P. Sheldon, in Ramsey Co., Minn.

The herbarium of the late Dr: C. C. Parry, has recently been 
carefully arranged and catalogued, and the list is now in press.
