CORYNEUM PEZIZOIDES E. & E. 
On rough outer bark of willow, Golden, Colorado, March, 
1897. (E. Bethel, no. 213.) 
Acervuli erumpent-superficial, at first punctiform, then orbicu- 
lar, 4%-%4 mm. diam., black, mostly plane or slightly concave 
above, with the surface roughened as if by minute projecting 
ostiola; conidia oblong, 3-septate, constricted at the septa, olive- 
brown, 20-25 X6-7, on basidia about 15» long. 
CORYNEUM NEGUNDINIS E. & E. 
On dead limbs of Megundo aceroides, Denver, Colo., March, 
1897. (E. Bethel.) 
Acerculi subepidermal, at first separate, soon confluent and 
throwing off the epidermis, exposing a black continuous uneven 
layer seated on the inner bark; conidia obovate or elliptical, 2- 
septate, constricted at the septa or quite as often not constricted, 
yellow-brown, 20~30 exceptionally 40X12-I5, on stout (15-20 
X4-5), subhyaline, subtorulose, continuous or faintly septate 
basidia. . 
The absence of erect sterile hyphae separates this from Sep/o- 
Sporium, which, in the mature effused state, it much resembles. 
HomosTEGIA DIPLOCARPA E. & E. Bull. Torr. Club, 24: 135. 1897. 
This should be Phylachora diplocarpa, under which name it was 
distributed in N. A. F. 3439 & F. Col.955. The 3-septate spores 
mentioned being only stylospores could not enable this to rank 
as Homostegia. The stroma too is like that of Pkyl/achora.
