this species. The spots are centrally punctured and appear to 

 have been produced by the stings of insects.

Living or languishing leaves of necklace poplar, Populus mon- 

 ilifera. Menands. October. 



Spots very small, orbicular, white, with a brown border; peri- 

 thecia one to four on a spot. 



PHYLLOSTICTA SPERMOIDES, N. sp. 



Spots suborbicular, brown or cinereous with a brown border, 

 sometimes confluent; perithecia minute, .0014 to .0025 inch broad, 

 numerous, hypophyllous, blackish; spores minute, cylindrical, .0002 

 inch long.

PHYLLOSTICTA FAGINEA, N. sp. 



Spots suborbicular, small, often seriate or subconfluent, and 

 arranged in rows parallel to the veins of the leaf, cinereous or 

 reddish-gray, with a reddish-brown border or wholly reddish-brown, 

 subferruginous beneath; perithecia few, epiphyllous, minute, .003 

 inch broad, black; spores ovate or elliptical, .0003 to .0004 inch 

 long, .0002 to .00025 broad.

 amphigenous, numerous, occupying the whole leaf, black; spores 

 very minute, spermatoid, .00012 inch long, .00004 broad, sometimes 

 oozing out and forming a white globule. 



Dead leaves oi Smilacina racemosa. Conklingville. September. 



This is a very anomalous species. But for the very short 

 minute spores, it would accord better with Septoria than Phyl- 

 losticta. 



PHYLLOSTICTA FATISCENS, N. sp. 



Spots rather large, suborbicular, pallid, generally marked by one 

 or more elevated concentric lines, at length cracking around the 

 margin and separating, wholly or in part, from the uninjured 

 tissues of the leaf; perithecia minute, .004 inch broad, epiphyllous,
