Leaves of Wemopanthes Canadensis. Buffalo. Clinton. 
Ruytisma rinEARE Peck. (Plate 1, figs. 24-26.) 
Plant linear, here and there interrupted or constricted, black ; 
asci broad, clavate, eight-spored; spores very long, obtuse, strongly 
narrowed in the middle, involved in mucus, .002-.003' long. 
Leaves of pine trees, Pinus Strobus. Guilderland, Greenbush 
and Sandlake. June. 
This species is well marked by the singular form of the spores, 
which appear to consist of two oblong portions connected by a 
narrow neck. It forms a thick black line on the lower surface of 
the leaf, often extending the entire length. The leaves that are 
attacked soon die and fall to the eround. The specimens that I 
have seen are seldom fertile, only those from the first named 
locality containing spores.
