M. dryina (B. & C). is a ramicolous species with smaller 
(15 X6-7,) spores. : 
APOSPHAERIA NUCICOLA E. & E. 
On old hickory nuts lying on the ground, Newfield, N. J., 
April, 1897. 
Perithecia superficial, gregarious, often clustered and subcon- 
nate, ovate, smooth and black above, with a distinct papilliform 
ostiolum ; sporules elliptical, hyaline, 21%4-314%4 X1Y4-14p. 
ASTEROMA SENECIONIS E. & E. 
On leaves of Senecio Rawsoniana, Yosemite, California, June, 
1895. (Davis, no. 9513.) 
Spots orbicular, light yellow, %/-1 cm. diam.; perithecia 
amphigenous, 50-Qo» diam., astomous at first, then with a 
large opening above, seated on a mycelium like that of the 
Erysipheae ; sporules minute, cylindrical, 4-5 less than Ip, 
The perithecia are densely gregarious and form a broad black 
belt around the margin of the spots, the central portion (2-3 mm. 
diameter) being occupied by Gloeosporium Senecionis E. & E. 
This is an anomalous Aséeroma, lacking the usual radiating 
fibrils. 
Fusicoccum PersicaE E. & E. 
On dead limbs of peach trees, St. Martinville, La., March, 
1896. (Langlois, no. 2466.) 
Stroma tuberculiform, 34 mm. diameter, semierumpent through 
the epidermis, of coarse cellular structure, multilocular cells small 
(150z), white, numerous; sporules oblong-fusoid, hyaline, continu- 
ous, 18-226-7», on basidia shorter than the sporules. 
CYTISPORELLA CARNEA E. & E. 
On dead limbs of Castanea, Nuttallburg, West Va., March, 
1896. (L. W. Nuttall.) 
Stroma at first tuberculo-hemispherical and covered by the 
epidermis, soon erumpent through the transversely or laciniately 
ruptured epidermis, brown outside, white and of firm consistence 
within (except the central portion), multilocular cells light-colored ; 
sporules elliptical, hyaline, continuous, 5-7X2%-3y. 
The stroma is about 114 mm. wide and 1 mm. high and finally 
shrinks away from the ruptured epidermis and then is more or 
less distinctly flesh-colored.
