REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST IQI5 39 
Puccinia conii (Strauss) Fuckel, I, LI. 
On leaves of Conium maculatum L. Eastport, Long 
Island. Collected by Dr C. H. Peck, August. 
Ramularia cichorii Dearness & House, n. sp. 
Spots scattered, small, grayish brown, alike on both sides of the 
leaf, bounded by usually 2 or 3 concentric ridges, 2-3 mm in 
diameter ; tufts epiphyllous, minute, scarcely visible in the absence 
of sporules; conidia hyaline, not numerous on the tufts, even, 
continuous, 15-22 x 234 up. 
On living leaves of Cichorium intybus L. Evans Mills, 
See july. Collected by Dr C. H. Peck. 
Scolescosporium coryli Dearness & House, n. sp. 
Spots arid, definitely narrow bordered, 2-3 mm broad; acervuli 
epiphyllous, brown, irregular on the veinlets, hemispherical on the 
flat surface of the leaf, 100-150 mw; conidia four-celled, apical cell 
hyaline, somewhat elongate, subacute, others smoky brown, the 
basal one rounded ; some of the spores curved, 12 x 5 p. 
On languishing leaves of Corylus americana Walt. 
Coleman’s, N. Y. Collected by Dr C. H. Peck, October 3, 1908. 
Septoria cryptotaeniae Ell. & Rau 
On leaves of Deringa canadensis (L.) Kuntze. Fonda. 
Collected by Dr C. H. Peck, June. 
Septoria mollisia Dearness & House, n. sp. 
The affected part of the leaf, often the whole leaf, sordid or 
dull brown; pycnidia epiphyllous, waxy brown, punctate, very 
numerous, evenly scattered, 50-150 mw in diameter, widely open, 
saucerlike, suggesting Mollisia or Belonopsis; sporules straight, 
continuous, long and very narrow, 35-65 (mostly 60) by .5—.75 p. 
On leaves of Antennaria neodioica Greene and A. 
canadensis Greene, collected by M. S. Baxter near Greece, 
Monroe county, N. Y., May 1913. This species differs from 
Septoria lanariae Fairm. in lacking definite, margined 
spots and having longer, narrower sporules. 
It may be questioned whether the waxy appearing rim is a part 
of a true pycnidial wall and whether the plant should not be called 
a Cylindrosporium.
