Septogloeum Lupini E. & E. 



On living leaves of Lupinw perennis, Munith, Mich. Aug. 1893. 

 (G. H. Hicks). 



Occupying the tips of the leaves which hecome dead and reddish- 

 brown. Acervuli minute, 60-70// diam. Conidia, oblong- cylindri- 

 cal, 2-4- nucleate, more or less bent or nearly straight, obtuse, 1-3- 

 septate, 12-22 x 4-5//.. Quite distinct from Oylindrosporium longis- 

 porum Ell. & Dearness. 



Pestalozzia nucicola E. & E. 



On the inner surface of old broken hickory nuts lying on the 

 ground, Newfield, N. J. May, 1893. 



Acervuli subcorneal, erumpent, small, 150-200// diam. Sporules 

 oblong- fusoid, 4-septate, scarcely constricted, terminal cells hyaline, 

 inner cells smoky-brown, length of the colored part about 12// by 4// 

 wide, apical cell short-conical, crowned with a3-parted crest of three 

 spreading, hyaline bristles 7-10// long, lower cell attenuated into a 

 pedicle shorter than the sporule. 



Pestalozzia lycopodina E. & E. 



On Lycopodium complanatum, Naaman's Creek, Del. July, 1893, 

 (A. Commons). 



Acervuli erumpent-superficial, conic-hemispherical, }-£ mm. diam. 

 Conidia clavate, 4-septate, 20x5// terminal cells hyaline, conical, 

 inner cells light brown, crest of 3-4 hyaline bristles 10-12// long, 

 curving outward. Pedicels about as long as the conidia. 



***** HYPHOMYCETES. 

 Monilia urediniformis E. & E. 



On half grown apples, Newfield, N. J. June 28, 1893. (Mrs. 

 A. J. Ellis). 



Erumpent in dense orange-colored tufts, at first covered by the 

 thin epidermis and forming yellow blisters on dead shriveled places 

 on the apples. These consist of densely fasciculate hyphae with 

 erect branches, septate above and soon separating into conidia, varying 

 in size from 15-80 x 12-30//, not connected by any distinct isthmus 

 and filled with subglobose, hyaline sporules 3-10// diam., and these 

 again filled with smaller sporules. The tufts of hyphae soon rupture 

 the epidermis and the large conidia bursts and liberate the enclosed
