102 TWENTY-SEVENTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. 
PEsTALOZZIA MARLE Clinton n. sp. 
Spots arid, brown or cinereous with a brown margin ; 
pustules minute, scattered, erumpent, black; spores fusi- 
form, five-septate, the four intermediate cells colored, a 
terminal cell and a long seta at each end hyaline, length of 
spore exclusive of the sets .0007’-.001’. 
Leaves of Rhododendron maximum. Buffalo. Clinton. 
Forestburgh. September. (Plate 2, figs. 1 and 2.) 
This is apparently a rare species. In all the specimens 
that I have seen the spots are large and situated at the apex 
of the leaf. The epidermis is ruptured in a somewhat stel- 
late manner. The peduncle sometimes remains adhering to 
ana spore, thus giving the appearance of two sete at one 
end. 
CoRYNEUM TRISEPTATUM 7. Sp. Mae 
Spots large, brown or cinereous; stroma obsolete; sori 
scattered, minute, erumpent, black ; spores oblong-pyriform, 
.0006’—.0007’ long, at first colorless and biseptate, then tri- 
septate with one apical and two basal cells hyaline, the 
remaining cell broad and colored ; peduncle about as long 
as the spore, easily separating. 
Living leaves of Rhododendron maximum. Forestburgh.

1 am not acquainted with Corynewm Rhododendri Schw. 
which also inhabits Rhododendron leaves, but judging from 
the description it must be distinct from our plant for it is 
said to have thick septate pedicels and no mention is made 
of the most remarkable feature of the spores, the broad 
colored central cell, sharply contrasted with the two hyaline 
cells below it and the single one above it. 
SPILOCEA CONCENTRICA Scho. | 
Decaying squashes. Albany. November. 
HELICOSPORIUM OLIVACEUM 2. Sp. 
Flocci black, subulate, simple, septate, the articulations 
several times longer than broad; spores slender, coiled, 
simple or obscurely septate, olivaceous. _ 
Hemlock wood. North Greenbush. October. 
It forms thin olivaceous patches. Closely related to ZZ. 
vegetum, from which the long articulations of the flocci 
aus aie obscurely septate or simple spores seem to sepa- 
rate it.
