FUNGI. 



By F. S. EARI,E. 



By the subjoined enumeration it will be seen that Mr- 

 Baker's collection of 1899 is rich in new species of Ascomy" 

 cetes, in this regard surpassing the collection made by 

 Baker, Earle and Tracy in the same general region in the 

 year 1898. The present list of species would have been 

 more extensive had not much of the material collected on 

 dead stems of herbaceous plants in early spring proven im- 

 mature and thereby indeterminable. Those of the same 

 habitat gathered in August, and even in July, were for the 

 most part in good condition. This is especiall}< true of 

 species belonging to the Mycospserellacese, and the Pleo- 

 sporaceae. Specimens belonging to those families in which 

 the perithecia on hard-carbonaceous, such as the Amphi- 

 sphseracise and Lophiostomatacese, usually contained recog- 

 nizable asci and spores which had been found the year 

 before, but were not in satisfactory condition. 



Thanks are due to Dr. J. C. Arthur for aid in connection 

 with the Uredinales ; to Dr. L. M. Underwood for determin- 

 ing the species of Polyporus, and to Mr. David Griffiths for 

 careful cultural studies of the Sordariacese.
