188 Tracy and Earle : Some new Fungi 



superficial, of straight, rigid, creeping, fucous threads about 4 fx in 

 diameter, and septate at intervals of 20-30 fx ; conidiophores erect, 

 rigid, simple, dark fuscous, opake, about 150—200 x 6 fi, septate 

 at intervals of 1 2-20 ft ; conidia solitary, acrogenous, light fus- 

 cous, narrowly oval, uniseptate, scarcely constricted, about 25 



x6/i. 



On living leaves of Quercus Virginiana, Clearwater, Fla., April 

 20, 1900, S. M. Tracy, no. 6608. 



The generic position of this fungus is doubtful. It is much 

 larger and more conspicuous than those usually referred to Pas- 

 salora and in that genus no mention is made of a superficial myce- 

 lium. At first glance it resembles a Meliola but no hyphopodia are 

 present and there are no perithecia. The same thing was taken 

 several years ago on this host at Ocean Springs, Miss., but at this 

 writing the specimens are not accessible.
