never seen the original specimens on Yucca and have taken the fore- 

 going from Grevillea. The conidial stage is Fusarhim Yiiecce. 



On Yucca aloifolia, Aiken, S<. Carolina. 



From an examination of the specimens in X. A. F. (det. by Cke.) 

 wo add the following notes. Perithecia ovoid-globose, small (160- 

 190 //), pale and furfuraceous at first, becoming bare and pale rod. 

 Ostiolum papillate and slightly darker. Asci clavate-cylindrical, 

 35-40x4//. sossilo. Sporidia oblong-elliptical, subbiseriate, 9-11 x 

 3 3J fi. There are often six and even ten perithecia on each erumpent, 

 white byssoid-grumose stroma. 



The X. A. F. specc. were found on dead Cleft fcra,at Xewfield. X. .1. 



X. a^la^othele, B. & C. Grev. IY, p. 45. 



Pale; ostiolum distinct, papilliform, darker; then deeply sunk by 

 collapsion. Asci linear. Sporidia elliptical, nniseriate. slightly attenu- 

 ated at each end. 12-14 //long. 



On alder, apparently growing from the remains of some Coccus. 

 New England (Sprague). 



A stylosporons form (N. crustulina, B. A Raw. Santee Canal. So. 

 Carolina), has cospitose, neat tan-colored perithecia with obovate, ani- 

 se] itate sporules, 10-15 fi long. 



N. rimincola, Cke. Grev. XI, p. 108. 



Exsicc. Rav. F. Am. 644. 



Gregarious or scattered, superficial, scarlet, growing in cracks of 

 the bark. Perithecia subgloboSe, finally depressed, glabrous, sul>- 

 shining, \ mm. diam. Asci cylindrical. Sporidia unise.riate, imisep- 

 tate, hyaline, not constricted, 12 x 4 //. 



In cracks of the hark of Liqnidarnbar, seaboard of Carolina 

 (Ravenel). 



N. Brassicae, Ell. & Sacc. Mich. II, p. 374. 



Exsicc. EH- N. A. F. 572. 



Perithecia densely gregarious, globose-conoid, not collapsing, very 

 small (125 ^), blood-red, ostiolum rather obtuse-conical, texture loosely 

 cellular, rose-tinted, paler around the ostiolum. Asci clavate-cylin- 

 drical. 60x7-8, without paraphyses, briefly-stipitate, obtuse at the 

 apex, containing eight oblong, subclavate, hyaline, uniseptate, 10-11 s 

 4-4 J ft sporidia. 



This was first found on old cabbage stalks and at the same time 

 the next year on old potato stalks lying scattered over the Bame ground
