The affinities of this fungus are doubtful. It is provisionally 
referred to the genus Tremella, although the central part of the sub- 
stance is fleshy rather than gelatinous. The plants revive on the 
application of moisture and when moist are somewhat tremelloid. 
The tufts form beautiful little rosettes. 
Grandinia membranacea P. & C., n. sp. 
Effused, thin, membranaceous, whitish or subalutaceous, sometimes 
slightly tinged with greenish-yellow or olivaceous ; granules numer- 
ous, crowded, unequal; spores broadly elliptical or subglobose, 
slightly rough, .00025 to .0003 in. long. 
Much decayed wood, leaves, ete. Tonawanda. G. W. Ciinton. 
Apparently related in texture to G. papillosa, but differing in 
color and in its even, not rimose, hymenium. 
Phoma ecallospora P. & C., n. sp. 
Perithecia small, scattered, slightly prominent, covered by the 
epidermis, black ; spores oblong or cylindrical, obtuse, straight or 
curved, containing 3 to 5 nuclei, .0006 to .0008 in. long, .0002 to 
.00025 broad. 
Dead stems of Polygonum. Buffalo. October. G. W. CiinTon. 
Phoma cornina. 
Perithecia numerous, not crowded, minute, nearly covered by the 
stellately ruptured epidermis, black, opening by a large pore ; spores 
oblong, obtuse, .0012 to .0016 in. long, .0005 to .00055 broad. 
Dead branches of green osier, Cornus cércinata. Sprakers. June. 
This and the preceding species are erroneously referred to the 
genus Spheeropsis in the Thirty-second Report. 
Spheeropsis typhina. 
Perithecia scattered, subconical, slightly prominent, often com- 
pressed ; spores fusiform, pointed at each end, colored, .0006 in. long, 
.OO016 broad. 
Dead leaves of Typha latifolia. Sprakers. June. 
The fusiform pointed spores constitute a noticeable character in 
this species. 
Protomyces conglomeratus. 
Spores imbedded in the tissues of the stems of the host plant, 
large, globose, colored, .0016 to .002 in. in diameter, aggregated in
