REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST FOR I924 87 



Geneva, on dead twig's of Acer p 1 a t a n o i d e s L. F. C. 

 Stewart and F. M. Rolfs, April 12, 1900. Like the type of the 

 species, collected at River Forest, 111., in 1909, this is densely gre- 

 garious and occasionally, perhaps frequently, haplosporelloid. The 

 pycnidial and spore measurements agree. The spores in the type 

 material are rather uniformly binucleate, while these have regu- 

 larly one large central nucleus, the only marked difference. This 

 has also been recently reported from Long Island.'*^

 On dead stems of Lonicera hirsuta Eaton. Pecksport. 

 Madison county. H. D. House, June 2, 1923. Apparently the only

 Clinton, at Buffalo, on "Lonicera flava."
