AX ARKAXUEMKNT OF THE ASCOMYCETES f)F INDIANA.^ 

 liKicK Fink anm) Sylvia C. Fi^sox. 



Ill (his second ('(nitrihutitiii toward a kiiowlcd^iio of tlic ascoiii.vc(>t('s of 

 Indiana. llit> authors proscnt a classification of all tho ascomycctcs prt'vi- 

 onsly piililishod for tlie state. The classification follows that used in the 

 (irsi jiaper. "Ascouiycetes new to the flora of In<liana". So far as possihle. 

 the names of the comities from which the species have been collected are 

 1,'iven. The list comiirises .'{72 species from thirty-eight counties. Future 

 studies will, of cour.se, add largely to this number of si)ecies for the state. 



While the main purpose of this paper is to bring together the names of 

 .ill aseomycetes known in Indiana under a system of classification, otlier 

 features are introduced as aids to mycologists who may refer to the paper. 

 I'or this purpose, the distribution has been given so far as we have been 

 able to ascertain it. Of the .'^72 species of a.scomycetes known to occur in 

 iiidiaua, 13G were recorded for the first time in our paper cited in the 

 bibliography at the close of the present paper. The other 2HC> sjiecies were 

 jireviously recorded for Indiana by other workers. We have determined 

 from our collection of 630 si^ecimens, 208 species of a.scomycetes collected by 

 us in Indiana. These are starred in the present paper. The other 109 

 species not starred are admitted on the determinations of others. We regret 

 that we have not all the data at hand for giving the names of those who 

 have determined these, but mycologists who are interested will get some 

 clue from the bibliography. Among works of special reliability, we may 

 mention those of Profes.sor J. M. Van Hook and his students. 



The herbarium material at the I'niversity of Indiana, at Purdue 

 University, and at Wabash College we examined hastily; but it was not 

 possible, in the short time available, to examine critically and verify or 

 cori'ect the determinations found in the.se collections. While a critical ex- 

 amination of the species found in the three herbaria would have added to 

 the value of the present paper, it is hoi>ed that the classification, the addi- 

 tions to the flora, the record of distribution, and some other features of 

 our work may prove helpful in the further study and the final systematic 

 account of the aseomycetes of Indiana.
