The fungi, recorded in this paper, were coUected bj^ E. D- 

 Merrill. The region was hitherto unexplored botanically, and is 

 exceedingly rieh in Pyvenomycetes, while it is poor in Uredineae, \ 

 Ustüagineae and Discomycetes. fy

Blakeslea trispora nov. spec. appeared as an impurity in a 

 transfer of Botrytis Rileyi. The larvae, attacked by the Botrytis, 

 were found on cownpeas at Gain es viUe, Florida. A comparison 

 is made between the new genus and Choanephora, with which it 

 Shows many similarities. The chief point of interest is that the 

 conidia so characteristic of Choanephorae are here replaced by spo- 

 rangiola similarly related to large spherical heads; and further that 

 these sporangiola, in the life history of one and the same species, 

 pass by almost insensible gradations to large typical solitary spo- 

 rangia such as are produced normally by a species of Choanephora. 

 The writer adds important remarks on the occurrence or non- 

 occurrence of sporangia of the normal type in different allied 

 genera. 



Dissophora decnmbens, on düng of wood mouse from vicinit}' 

 of Cambridge, is very closely allied to Mortierella, but the pecu- 

 liarities of the primary fertile hypha has seemed sufificient basis for 

 generic Separation. 



Haplosporangium is also closely allied to Mortierella, but differs 

 in the presence of highly differentiated often very long segments, 

 from which arise peculiar sporangiophores bearing threadlike ter-
