margin sublacerate-toothed, erect or nearly so, component cells sub- 

 quadrate or pentagonal, about 15/j diam., the marginal ones more 

 elongated (20//). Spores orange-yellow, subglobose or subangular, 

 12-15// diam. 



Berkeley in Grevillea, reports JEeid. epilobii on Luchvigia, but 

 the Delaware specc. on account of their smaller clustered cups and 

 smaller spores, can not be referred to that species. 



Cerebella spartinae E. & E. 



On spikes of Spartina gracilis, Biloxi, Miss. Sept., 1892. (Tracy, 

 No. 1,838.) 



Stromata small (2-4 mm.), thin, subconfluent, extending along 

 one side of the spike, often for its entire length, gyrose- or porose- 

 plicate, dark olive. Primary spores ovate or globose, 6-10// diam., 

 pale, with the epispore minutely granular, compound spores sub- 

 quadrate, composed of 3-4 of the primary spores, brown, 12-16// 

 diam., mostly with a short, thick pedicel. 



Differs from C. andropogonis in habit and from C. paspali, in its 

 smaller differently shaped spores. 



Sorosporium solidaginis E. & E. 



In the dwarfed and condensed inflorescence of Solidago missouri- 

 ensis, Rockport, Kansas. March, 1892. (E. Bartholomew.) 



Spore masses subglobose, 30-50// diam., consisting of 12-40 or 

 more, closely conglutinated spores about 8// diam., with the epispore 

 delicately warted. The color of the spores is nearly that of burnt 

 umber, rather darker than in S. californicum Hark., which this much 

 resembles, but from which it differs in its larger spore masses and 

 spores not so distinctly roughened.

Phyllosticta tenerrima E. & E. 



On living leaves of Saponaria officinalis, London, Canada. Aug., 

 Sept., 1892. (Dearness, No. 1,999.) 



Spots small (1-2 mm.), thin, round, white and transparent and 

 finally deciduous, numerous but mostly not confluent. Perithecia 

 epiphyllous, depressed-hemispherical, thin- membranaceous, 60-100// 

 diam., few on a spot. Sporules elliptical or oblong-elliptical, 

 hyaline, 4-6 x 2-2J//., abundant. 



Easily recognized by its thin, white, transparent spots.
