is colored like Ganoderma tsugae Murr. but is a smaller 

 species with the pileus sessile and dimidiate. 



Gloeosporium valsoideum Sacc. 

 Small twigs of sycamore, Platanus occidentalis L. 

 Geneva. F. C. Stewart. It is easily distinguished from G 1 o e o s - 

 porium nervisequu m (Fckl.) Sacc. by its habitat and larger 

 and more conspicuous pustules. 



Gutierrezia sarothra (Pursh) B. & R. 

 Cobbs Hill reservoir. Rochester. August. Miss F. Beckwith. 

 Introduced but apparently well established. 



Gymnolomia multiflora (Nutt.) B. & H. 

 Cobbs Hill reservoir. Rochester. August. Miss F. Beckwith. 

 Introduced but apparently well established. This and the preceding 

 one were determined by P. A. Rydberg. 



Haplosporella ribis Sacc. 

 Dead stems of some species of cultivated Ribes. Orient Point. 

 May. R. Latham. 



Hebeloma sinapizans Fr. 

 Canandaigua. September. Miss E. C. Webster. 



Helvella capucinoides n. sp. 



Pileus thin, submembranaceous, saddle-shaped, usually with one 

 lobe deflexed, the other erect, the naked free margins of both curved 

 inward, the lower enfolding the top of the stem, the hymenium 

 smoky ochraceous, becoming brown or ochraceous brown with age 

 or in drying, the lower or inner surface of the pileus white, rugulose ; 

 stem slender, firm, equal, stuffed or hollow, the surface wavy or 

 uneven, minutely and pubescently pruinose, snowy white ; asci 

 cylindric, 240-280x18-20 /i ; spores oblong ellipsoid, uniseriate. 

 uninucleate, hyaline, 20-28x12-16 p., paraphyses filiform, clavate 

 at the tips. 



Pileus .5-2.5 cm broad ; stem 2.5-7 cm long, 2-4 mm thick. 



Gregarious. In groves of arbor vitae trees. Thuja occi- 

 dentalis L. North River. September. 



This species agrees in some of its characters with the description 

 of Helvella c a p u c i n a Quel, but it differs in the shape and 

 color of the pileus, in its naked margin and its even surface. The 

 large nucleus of the spores in our plant is hyaline, not greenish as 

 in the European.
