23. Septoria divaricata, E. and E. 
Jour. Mycol, vol. 3, page 85, vol. 5, page 151.

24. Coniosporium Fairmani, Sacc. (Plate 4, figs. 14-15). 
Jour. Mycol, vol. 5, page 78. 
Ab affin C. Apiosporiade differt conidiis multis minoribus, 5-7 vp. 
d., globosis, levibus, fuligineis, subinde 1-nucleatis On cortex of 
Hubbard squash, exposed to the weather, Lyndonville, N. Y., February 
10, 1886. The fungus covers the rind with black sooty patches. 
25. Didymium Fairmani, Sacc., (Plate 3, figs. 7, 8, 9). 
Jour. Mycol, vol. 5, page 78. 
Dignostitus peridits, sparsis, sessilibus, floccis hyalinis laxe reticul- 
atis, sporis levibus, 8-10 yw. diam, crystallis eximie stellatis. Columella 
subglobosa, fuscella. 
On the lower surfaces of leaves of Smilacina bifolia. Aug., 1886. 
In the original publication of the species, named by Dr. Saccardo, 
there was an error in translation, and I have thought best to insert here 
the original diagnoses. 
26° Mucor Tzniz,z. s/., (Plate 4; figs. 4,5, 6). 
Sporangiferous hyphe erect, rarely, if ever branched, septate, 
yellow, 7 ». diam. 
Sporangia globose, brownish or yellow brown, smooth, mostly 40 
uw. in diam. Columella elliptical or sub-sphaeroidal, at times with con- 
traction at the base, brownish. 
Spores globose, or ellipsoid, light yellow, 3-5 . in diam., with 
smooth epispore. Zygospores not observed. 
On segments or joints of tape worm ( Zaenia solium). The fungus 
forms a felted mat on the affected joints, of a sordid yellow color. At 
times the hyphae have contents contracted into bands. 
The parasitism of the mucor upon the entozoon or intestinal 
parasite is curious and interesting. It seems to me distinct from 
Mucor mucedo in smooth sporangia and spores, and from JZucor erectus, 
Bainier, by the color of the spores.
