Gloeosporium falcatum Dearness & House, sp. nov. 
Spots gray with a darker, ridged border and surrounded by an 
indefinite, reddish, somewhat translucent margin, 3 to .7 mm broad. 
Acervuli epiphyllous, concolorous, scattered, best observed with 
reflected light under the microscope, 90-150 pw. Spores falcate, 
hyaline, acute at one or both ends, grumous and _ guttulate, 
24-32 x 8-12 up. 
Mawlivine leaves of _Benzoin aestivate >(.), Nees: 
Blgee Jake near ‘Catskill, N. Y. .H.'D. House, August 21, 1g85: 
Type in the herbarium of the New York State Museum. 
The specimens are perhaps rather immature and might possibly 
develop septa in the spores, in which case it would be a Marsonia 
related to M. daphnes. 
Gloeosporium hydrophylli Dearness & House, sp. nov. 
Spots slaty gray, subcircular when not marginal, mostly about 
1 cm broad, concentrically ridged when seen through a lens, becom- 
ing dry and brittle and breaking up. 
Acervuli innate, often found in sections where their positions 
were not discovered with the lens. Spores hyaline, 5-9 x 2-2) p, 
nucleate at each end.

Green lake near Kirkville, Onondaga county. H. D. House, 
August 1915. Type in the herbarium of the New York State 
Museum. 
Ascochyta wisconsina Davis 
Near Cicero, Onondaga county, on living leaves of Sambucus 
canadensis L. H. D. House, August 10, 1915. The fungus 
at first suggested a species of Gloeosporium but Professor Dear- 
ness, who identifies the species, notes that spores were found with a 
hyaline septum and that there is a thin pycnidial wall. The zona- 
tion, colors and spore measurements agree with the description of 
Ascochyta wisconsina, and differs from A. ebuli 
Fckl. described on Sambucus in Europe. 
Leptonia euchlora (Lasch) Quel. 
(Sace. Sylk 52713. 1687) 
Pileus submembranaceous, campanulate becoming deeply de- 
pressed in the center, yellowish green or brownish when young
