UstILaco SporoBoLt n. sp. 
Infesting the ovaries, forming a hard greenish compact mass 
2-3 mm. in diameter; spores dark fuscous, oval or subglobose ; 
€pispore thickly covered with broadly conical tuberculations, 12 
to 12 by 15 p. 
On Sporobolus Jjunceus, Columbus, Miss., October 12, 1895. 
Usually but few infested ovaries occur on a plant, and the pan- 
icle retains its normal form. 
WINTERIA LOBATA DN. Sp. 
Hy pophyllous, superficial ; perithecia scattered, turbinate, col- 
lapsing to patellate, and becoming variously ridged and lobed on 
the thick margins, thin, fragile, not distinctly cellular, black ex- 
ternally and greenish blue within, 300-400 4; asci numerous, thin- 
walled, ovate, short-pedicellate, about 35 by 15, involved in the 
thread-like gelatinous greenish paraphyses; sporidia hyaline, 
narrowly elliptical, acute, faintly 3-septate. 
On living leaves of Jlex coriacea, Ocean Springs, Miss., Feb- 
Tuary 16, 1894, and August 20, 1895. 
The February specimens seem slightly immature, so that the 
characters of the sporidia are made out with difficulty, and the 
August specimens appear to be entirely sterile. The same fungus 
has been detected with specimens of Asterina peliculosa on the 
Same host collected in Florida by Th. Holm, and in Georgia by 
M. B. Waite. 
ZIGNOELLA MAGNOLIEAE 2. sp. (Subgenus Trematostoma). 
On whitened areas, thickly scattered and sometimes confluent, 
hemispheric, base slightly sunk in the matrix, rounded above, not 
papillate, finally opening by a large round ostiolum, black, car- 
bonaceous, surface roughened, about 14 mm. in diameter; asci 
narrowly elliptical, long-stipitate, 130-150 by 12-15 »; paraphyses 
filiform, abundant, exceeding the asci; sporidia hyaline, elliptical, 
ends rounded, 4-guttate, finally 3-septate, not constricted, 22-24 
by 5-6 p. 
On bark of dead Magnolia glauca, Ocean Springs, Miss., 
March 7, 1896.
