Perithecia scattered or cespitose, ovate, A nim. diam. , ofteu seriate, 

 covered b}^ the epidermis at first, with the short-cylindrical, obtuse, 

 ostiola erumpeut. Sporules oblong, or oblong-elliptical or even 

 cylindrical, brown, mostly o-septate, 12-15 x 4-5,"., but some of them 

 5-6-septate, with one or two cells divided by a longitudinal septum, 

 15-20 X 5-7//.. 



There is also a Teichospora accompanying, tjut too scanty to admit 

 of accurate description. 



Septoria Echinocystis E. & E. 



On leaves of Echinocystis marah, Ukiah, Mendocino Co., Cala., 

 May, 1894 (W. C. Blasdale, No. 220). 



Spots subangular, limited at first by the veinlets and greenish, 

 becoming light brown with the margin darker, 3-5 mm. diam. 

 Perithecia innate, globose, about 80,a diam., thin, imperfectly de- 

 veloped, brown. Sporules linear, hyaline, nearly straight or sub- 

 undulate, becoming faintly 1-2-septate, 25-50 x 25-3,". 



Septoria solanicola E. & E. 



On leaves of Solanum lunheUifermn, Ukiah, Mendocino Co., Cala.,
