pearance it resembles somewhat Spheria Dematium, Fr., which 
is also a Vermicularia (V. Dematium, Fr.), but in that species 
the spores are longer and curved. 
431. Septoria Lepidi, Desm. Exs. no. 1177. On Lepidium 
Smithii, Penzance ; Aberystwyth, J. Ralfs, Esq. 
432. S. Aceris, Berk. & Br. Ascoxyta Aceris, Lib. Ard. 
no. 54. On the under side of the leaves of Acer Pseudo-Platanus, 
North Wales, J. Ralfs, Esq. 
The spores in this species form little pallid cirrhi. In Mr. 
Ralfs’s specimens these are in general shorter than Madame Li- 
bert’s, but there is no other difference. The spores are very di- 
stinctly septate, especially in the Welsh specimens. 
433. S. nodorum, Berk. Maculis pallide cervinis limitatis 
depressis demum confluentibus, peritheciis subprominulis ; sporis 
oblongis elongatis curvulis libet irregularibus. Berk. in Gard. 
Chron. 1845, p. 601. On the joints of wheat-stalks just before 
the wheat is ripe. Spores elongated, very slightly curved or irre- 
gular, with several nuclei. 
434. S. Hippocastani, n.s. Maculis rufis, cirrhis teneris ; 
sporis curvis flexuosis linearibus simplicibus. On leaves of the 
horse-chestnut, Essex, Rev. J. E. Leefe. 
Spots at first minute and scattered, then becoming confluent, 
and forming broad rufous patches. Cirrhi delicate, pale. Spores 
long, linear, simple, curved, flexuous. 
This species belongs evidently to a different genus from As- 
coxyta Hippocastane, Libert. 
435. Neottiospora Caricum, Desm. Exs. no. 1388. Spheria 
Caricina, Desm. Exs. no. 717. On dead leaves of Carices, Rud- 
loe, Spye Park, Wilts, C. E. Broome. 
A most interesting production, remarkable for the appendage 
of short hyaline threads with which the spores are furnished at 
one extremity. A variety occurs with larger olive-coloured spores, 
which we should at once have considered distinct, but for speci- 
mens in which the spores, though olive-coloured, without any 
orange tinge, are exactly of the same size as in the original form. 
We do not therefore venture at present to consider the two as 
distinct, though we think it probable that further observations 
may justify their separation. 
436. Cytispora Hendersoni, n. s. Perithecio subregulari ; ge- 
latina albida ; sporis majoribus oblongis brevibus leviter curvatis. 
On Rosa arvensis, Milton, Mr. Henderson. 
Forming minute scattered pustules ; perithecia nearly regular, 
but sometimes lobed at the edge and raised in the centre from 
the elevation of the subjacent bark. Spores larger than in most 
Cytispore, oblong but short, very slightly curved, oozing forth 
im the form of a dirty-white shapeless jelly.
