44 THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 
mountains. Aug. This fungus differs but slightly from Cribraria 
tenella. The persistent cup or basal part of the sporangium in that 
species is entirely wanting in this, hence its resemblance to species of 
Dictydium. This character appears to be constant, but should it fail 
this fungus could scarcly be regarded as any thing more than a variety 
of C. tenella. When this report was written this fungus was deemed 
an unpublished species. Prof. Wm. Barbeck, then of Philadelphia, 
had detected it, pointed out its distinctive character, and given it the 
name Cribruria dictydioides, but before its publication it was distrib- 
uted in Cooke and Ravenel’s Fungi Americani Exsiccati under the 
name, which, owing to the delay in the publication of the report and 
to avoid synonymy, I am permitted to here insert. 
Hendersonia Cydoniw, C. & #. Living leaves of pear, crab-apple 
and apple. Catskill mountains and Sandlake. Aug. and Sept. 
Phyllosticta Sambuci, Desm. Living or languishing elder leaves. 
Catskill mountains. Aug. 
Phyllosticta Grossulariz, Sacc. Living leaves of red currant. Sand 
lake. Sept. 
Phyllosticta Nese, 2. sp. Spots suborbicular, scattered or some- 
what confluent, pale-rufous; perithecia hypophyllous, numerous, very 
minute; spores oblong, straight or slightly curved, colorless, .0003 in. 
to .0004 in. long, about .0001 in. broad. Living leaves of swamp loose- 
stripe, Neswa verticillata. South Ballston. Sept. 
Septoria Galeopsidis, West. Living leaves of hemp-nettle, Galeopsis 
Tetrahit. Catskill mountains. Aug. 
Septoria Hydrocotyles, Desm. Living leaves of water pennywort, 
Hydrocotyle Americana. Catskill mountains. Aug. 
Septoria Viole, West. Living leaves of violets. Catskill mountains. 
Aug. 
Septoria Cucurbitacearum, Sacc. Living pumpkin leaves. Cat- 
skill mountains. Ang. ; 
Septoria corylina, 2. sp. Spots suborbicular. scattered, brown or 
reddish-brown, with a darker margin; perithecia few, epiphyllous, 
minute, blackish-brown, opening widely when moist; spores filiform, 
curved, colorless, .0015 in. to .0018 in. long. Living leaves of hazel- 
nut, Corylus rostrata. Millerton. June. The spots are usually one 
and a half to three lines broad. They are darker on the lower than on 
the upper surface. 
Septoria betulicola, 2. sp. Spots small, often large by confluence, 
angular, reddish-brown above, paler below: perithecia hypophyllous, 
very minute, blackish; spores filiform, curved, colorless, .0012 in. to 
0018 in. long. Living leaves of birch, Betula lutea, Catskill moun- 
tains. Aug. This is distinct from S. Betulw, both in the color and 
character of the spots and in the length of the spores. The perithecia 
are so minute that they are scarcely distinguishable by the naked eye. 
In variety marginalis the spots are marginal and confluent. 
Septoria microsperma, m. sp. (Plate 1, figs. 3-5.) Spots indefinite, 
brown, sometimes confluent, perithecia hypophyllous, numerous, small, 
irregular, brown, wrinkled when dry, rupturing irregularly ; spores 
allantoid, colorless, .00035 in. to .0005 in. long. Fading leaves of birch, 
Betula lenta. ‘Knowersville. Oct. The leaves bearing the fungus
