SHEAR: NEW SPECIES OF FUNGI 307 
Type, 20. 1492 C.L.S.,, on living leaves of Vaccinium macrocar- 
pum, Arichat, Nova Scotia, June 21, 1902;also collected at Belleplain 
and Parkdale, N. J.; and near Wareham, Mass., June 7, 1906, H. 
J. Franklin. 
Helminthosporium inaequale sp. nov. 
Sterile hyphae effuse, decumbent, much branched, dark-brown, 
sometimes forming compact strands of 3-12 filaments. Fertile 
hyphae ascending or suberect, septate, very variable in length, 
6-8 diam., bearing both terminal and lateral conidia; conidia 
inequilateral or curved, 3-5-celled and thick-walled, brown, 
22-32 X II—I4, central cell usually larger than the others and 
swollen. Erect, slender, somewhat branching, hard, black, sclero- 
toid bodies are formed in abundance inold cultures. These when 
transplanted will produce conidia, but no other form of fructifica- 
tion has occurred. 
Type, slide xo. 7498 from pure culture no. 4576 isolated from 
pulp of diseased cranberries from New Jersey, November, 1905. 
This fungus has only been obtained in cultures. 
Phyllosticta putrefaciens sp. nov. 
Pycnidia gregarious, buried or subsuperficial, globose or sub- 
globose, membranous, dark-brown or nearly black, ostiolate, 75- 
100% diam.; ostiole conspicuous, surrounded by a slightly 
elevated, somewhat irregular margin; spores variable in shape, 
ovoid or ovoid-elliptic, sometimes inequilateral or slightly curved, 
continuous, hyaline or faintly yellowish in mass, 3.5—5 X 2.5-3/4; 
sporophores simple, very short. 
Type, slide wo. 1496 from pure culture zo. 372, isolated from 
a diseased cranberry from Whitesville, New Jersey, September, 
1905, C. L.S. Wo. 1497 C. L.S., collected on cranberries which 
had been attacked by the berry worm at Wareham, Massachusetts, 
September 23, 1902, resembles this species rather closely and may 
be the same. The pycnidia in these specimens are not so well de- 
veloped and the ostiole not so distinct as in the type, while the 
spores are slightly longer, varying from 4.5-6.5 x 3/4. Specimens 
have also been collected on old cranberry leaves (wo. Z 50 gC. L. >. 
Pierceville, Mass., May 21, 1907), which belong to this species. 
Sphaeronema pomorum sp. nov. — 
Pycnidia gregarious or scattered, subsuperficial, irnlace 
branous, subglobose, 125-175/4 diam. with an ostiolate “ore 75- 
1504 long; spores oblong-cylindric or frequently ovoid or 
subelliptic, continuous, pale greenish yellow, 6-7 x 3/-
