Phyllosticta raui (Peck) Dearness & House

Examination of the type material collected in Colorado on Arte- 
misia scopulorum, by Brandegee, and communicated to 
Doctor Peck by E. A. Rau, shows that it properly belongs in the 
genus Phyllosticta. 
Peridermium cerebrum Peck 
An interesting form of this species occurs upon Pinus chi- 
huahuana in Arizona, and causing an abortion of the cones as 
shown in the accompanying plate. The specimen from which this 
illustration was taken was collected near Canille, Ariz., by Mr Wil- 
liam T. Doherty, July 12, 1914. 
Specimens of Peridermium carebrum hitherto collected 
in this country have been caulicolous, producing enlargements of 
woody stems. This appears to be, so far as I can learn, the first 
collection of the species on cones. It will doubtless prove to be a 
different species when its telial stage (some species of Cronartium) 
becomes known. The dehiscence of the aecia is quite charactertistic,
