166 KANSAS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. 
epidermis, white inside, 6-15 in a cluster, united in a more or less perfectly de- 
veloped dothideoid stroma. Sporules fusoid, 2-4, nucleate, hyaline, 20-24x 4145-514 
micros. Differs from PD. ribis (Fckl.) in its smaller, more numerous, erumpent 
perithecia and smaller, fusoid sporules. YD. dura (Preuss.) Sacc. has ovoid smoky 
hyaline sporules, but otherwise must be much like this. 
225. Sphaeropsis juglandis E. & B., n. sp. 
On dead shoots of Juglans nigra, Rooks county, Kansas, March 26, 1897. 
(No. 2383.) 
Perithecia thickly scattered, sub-cuticular, small (13 mm.), globose, raising 
the epidermis into pustules pierced at the apex by the minute papilliform ostiola. 
Sporules oblong, elliptical, brown, 15-22x7-10 micros. Common in many situa- 
tions. 
226. Haplosporella juglandis E. & B., n. sp. 
On dead shoots of Juglans nigra, Rooks county, Kansas, April 22, 1897. (No. 
2400.) 
Stromata thickly scattered, subglobose, 1 mm. in diameter, surrounded by 
the free margin of the ruptured epidermis. Perithecia minute, ovate, subcircin- 
ate. Sporules oblong-ovate, light brown, 14-20x5-7 micros. 
227. Haplosporella maclure E. & B., n. sp. 
On fallen limbs of Maclura aurantiaca, Rooks county, Kansas, March 16, 
1897. (No. 2380.) 
Stromata verruciform, flattened above, 1-115 mm. diam., covered by the epi- 
dermis which finally disappears above, thickly gregarious but hardly confluent. 
Perithecia ovate, minute, closely packed, 10-20 in a stroma. Ostiola punctiform. 
Sporules oblong-elliptical, brown, 15-20x6-8 micros. 
This is a very different thing from Sphwropsis maclure Cke., which spar- 
ingly occurs on the same specimens, with gregarious, small, subepidermal perithe- 
cia which are not even confluent and by no means collected in a stroma, having, 
besides, much larger sporules. 
228. Haplosporella minor, E. & B., n. sp. 
On dead limbs of Maclura aurantiaca, Rooks county, Kansas, March 10, 
1899. (No. 2552.) 
Stromata thinly scattered, prominently erumpent, black, imperfectly devel- 
oped, multi-peritheciate, seated on the inner bark, scarcely penetrating to the 
wood. Sporules short-elliptical, smoky hyaline to pale brown, 5-7 x3-4 micros. 
Very distinct from H. miclure E. & B. on the same host. 
229. Haplosporella dothideoides, E. & B., n. sp. 
On dead shoots of Aélanthus glandulosa, Rooks county, Kansas, March 21, 
1899. (No. 2565.) 
Stroma seated in the inner bark and erumpent above through the ruptured 
epidermis, orbicular or elliptical, 1-114 mm. in diam., of soft, waxy-carnose tex- 
ture, dark brown, hemispheric or depressed-conical; perithecia hardly more than 
dothideaceous, ascigerous cells of irregular shape, crowded in the stroma. Spo- 
rules oblong or oblong-elliptical, brown, 12-16x4~-7 micros. 
Apparently not well developed and so not certainly distinct from H. ailanthi, 
E. & E. (Jour. Mycol. V, p. 147), but the smaller sporules and distinct stroma 
seem to indicate specific difference. 
230. Diplodia compressa E. & B., n. sp. 
On decorticated, weather-beaten limbs of Maclura aurantiaca, Rooks county, 
Kansas, January 9, 1899. (No. 2533.)
