26 THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 
Cytispora minuta, Thwm. Dead branches of ash, Fraxinus Ameri- 
cana. West Troy. May. 
Gleosporium Trifolii, x. sp. Spots suborbicular often concentric- 
ally zoned, brown ; spores oblong or cylindrical, obtuse, simple, color- 
less, .0006 in. to .0009 in. long, .00016 in. to .00025 in. broad 
Living leaves of red clover, Trifoliwm pratense. Albany. July. 
Gleosporium salicinum, 2. sp. Spots large, irregular, indefinite, 
arid, pale; spores elongated, subfusiform, curved or flexuous, ob- 
scurely triseptate, each cell usually containing two nuclei, colorless, 
-0016 in. to .002 in. long. Living leaves. of willow, Salix sericea. 
Sandlake. Aug. Usually one end of the spore is more acute than 
the other. 
Gleosporium Hepatice, 7. sy. Spots large, irregular, often discolor- 
ing the whole leaf, blackish-brown; pustules minute, scattered, 
epiphyllous, the thick tendrils pinkish when dry; spores oblong or 
cylindrical, colorless, obtuse at each end, straight or slightly curved, 
-0006 in. to .001 in. long, .00025 in. to .0V03 in. broad, usually with 
two tofour nuclei. Living leaves of liverwort, Hepatica acutiloba. Hel- 
derberg mountains. July. This species appears to be very destruct- 
ive to the leaves it attacks. The discoloration apparently spreads 
rapidly and finally involves the whole leaf. 
Gloeosporium Laporte, . sp. Spots orbicular, yellowish-green with a 
dark-margined arid center; spores simple, globose or elliptical, color- 
less, .00016 in. to .00025 in. long, uninucleate or binucleate, forming 
a pallid globule on the upper surface of the spot. Living leaves 
of wood nettle, Laportea Canadensis. Charlton. July. 
Coryneum pustulatum, 2. sp. (Plate 1, figs. 1-3.) Pustuliform, 
seated on the inner bark, covered by the elevated epidermis which is 
at length pierced or slightly ruptured ; spores long, subclavate or sub- 
fusiform, colored, five to seven septate, often strongly curved, .0026 in. 
to .003 in. long, about .0005 in. broad; sporophores short. Dead 
branches of oak or chestnut. Sandlake. May. The spores some- 
times ooze out and stain the matrix black. This and its pustulate 
form give the fungus the appearance of a S¢i/bospora, though the struc- 
ture indicates that it is a Corynewm. 
Pestalozzia Guepini Desm. Living leaves of Camellia in conserva- 
tories. Buffalo. Clinton. . 
Asterosporium betulinum, 7. sp. (Plate 1, figs. 4-5.)  Pustulate, 
erumpent, with a black orbicular disk, the stroma filamentous ; spores 
three or four-radiate, slightly colored, the rays oblong-ovate or elon- 
lgate-conical, subacuminate, three to five-septate, .0008 in. to .0015 in. 
ong, .00035 in. to .00048 in. broad in the widest parts, slightly narrowed 
at the base, the cells often uninucleate, the terminal one paler. Dead 
branches of birch, Betula lutea. Quaker Street. June. Externally 
this closely resembles A. Hoffmanni, but in European specimens of 
that species the rays are triangular-ovate and widest at the base where 
they are .00065 in. broad. In our plant they are paler, narrower, 
more elongated and abruptly narrowed at the base. I have been un- 
able to detect a perithecium else I should refer our plant to Prosthe- 
mium betulinum Kze. 
Melanconium cerasinum, # sy. Stroma distinct, thin, white; 
spores very unequal, globose, ovate, elliptical or oblong, .00065 in. to .001
