452 SHEAR: MycoLtocicaAL NoTEsS AND NEW SPECIES 
somewhat granular roughened, frequently partially collapsed, pro- 
vided with a papilliform ostiolum ; asci cylindric, short-stipitate or 
subsessile, 140-180 x 16’%; sporidia uniseriate, overlapping some- 
what, hyaline at first then yellowish and finally dark brown, with 
3-5 transverse septa and one longitudinal septum, slightly con- 
stricted at the septa, 24-278; paraphyses branched above, 
equally or exceeding the asci and about 3 » in diameter. 
Type material, no. 383, collected by the writer on dead 
branches of Celts occidentalis, Osborne, Kansas, March, 1894. 
The plant is scarcely a typical Cucurbitaria and was at first re- 
ferred to Teichospora, but I have referred it to the former genus 
in deference to the opinion of Dr. Rehm to whom specimens were 
submitted. 
Fusicladium robiniae sp. nov. 
Hypophyllous or sometimes amphigenous; spots reddish- 
brown, usually numerous, scattered, .5—1.5 mm. diam., circum- 
scribed by a darker, reddish-brown, slightly elevated line ; tufts 
of fertile hyphae small, rather dense, arranged in small groups; 
hyphae light chestnut-brown, slightly flexuous, irregular toward 
the apex, mostly non-septate, 100-130 x 2-3.5 4 diam.; conidia 
clavate-fusiform, light-brown, uniseptate, very slightly constricted, 
one cell slightly larger than the other, 20-30 4-5 /.
