What may be a variety of this was found by me near Montrose 

 in October, in living leaves of Tanacetum vulgare. The 

 following is the description of the latter form : Spots 

 usually near the ends of the lobes, indeterminate in 

 form, brown, becoming paler, not large ; pycnidia 60 

 diam., subspherical, innate, brown ; sporidia filiform- 

 fusiform, 20-30 by 1J-2, pale yellow-brown, hyaline, 

 usually 3-septate. I have found it in September, 1887, 

 near Aberdeen also.

 Since the publication of this as a new species last April, the 

 Additamenta to the Sylloge Fungorum has reached me; 

 and in it I find under the name Septoria BrunelUe E. 

 & H. {Journal of Mycology, Vol. I., 1885, p. 6), what 

 is evidently very closely allied to my plant. The 

 description in the Journal of Mycology is : " Spots 

 dark rusty brown, irregular and variable in size, border 

 raised, narrow ; perithecia black, slightly prominent, 

 thickly scattered, epiphyllous, 100-130 in diameter; 

 sporules hyaline, with a brownish tint, linear, clavate,
