REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST IQI5 51 
Poria calcea Fr. 
North Greenbush, Rensselaer county. H. D. House, no. 233, 
October 10, 1914. 
Ramularia arvensis Sacc. 
On living leaves of Potentilla monspeliensis L. 
Oneida, Madison county. H. D. House, June 27, 1915. Also

Ramularia barbareae Peck

wiabearis R.Br. H. DP: House; May roy to1§.- =) 
Ramularia obovata Fckl. 
On living and languishing leaves of Rumex crispus L. 
Albany. H. D. House, July 23, 1915. Karner. October 8, 1914. 
This is the form with obovate, nonseptate conidia. The one with 
clavate-oblong i-septate spores is known as Ramularia 
obliqua (Cooke) Oud., and appears to be the one most fre- 
quently collected in this State. By some these two are regarded 
as forms or phases of the same species, to which may also be 
united Ramularia decipiens. FE. & E. 
Rhizina inflata (Schaeff.) Quel. 
(R. undulata Fr.) 
Under hemlock and birch trees, Pleasant Lake north of Schroep- 
pels Bridge, Oswego county. H. D. House, August II, 1915. 
Doctor Peck has collected this species at Forestburg, Sullivan 
county, Hague, Warren county and Greig, Lewis county. At the 
Oswego county locality the fungus appears to be chiefly saprophytic, 
but several instances were observed where the mycelium of the 
fungus invested and was apparently parasitic on hemlock seedlings, 
causing their death. 
Septogloeum ochroleucum (B. & C.) Dearness, com. nov. 
(Septoria ochroleuca B. & C.; Phyllosticta, Pk.; Gloeosporium, B. & C.; 
Cryptosporium epiphyllum C. & E£.) 
Schroeppels Bridge, Oswego county, on living leaves of Cas- 
tanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh. H. D. House, August 13, 
1915. Also collected by Doctor Peck at Sand Lake, Copake and 
Wading River.
