1144. Glceosporium umbrinellum, TL. 8. Maculis irregularibus 

 angulatis brunneis ; sporis pallidis. 



On fallen oak-leaves. Charmy Down, near Batheaston, Oct. 

 1865. 



Forming minute brown spots; spores binucleate, '0004- 

 •0006 inch long, supported on long, often forked, sporophores, 

 at length oozing out in the form of a pale irregular tendril. 



Plate III. fig. 5. Spores supported on their sporophores; and separate, 

 more highly magnified. 



1145. Sporidesmium opacum, Cd. Fasc. i. f. 115. 



On stumps of wych elm, near St. Catharines, March 31, 1865. 

 C. E. Broome. 



When young, forming small, round, cinereous tufts, sparingly 

 scattered over the wood. 



This has been received from Mr. Bloxam under the name of 

 S. fasciculatum ; but it does not agree with Corda's character, 

 '' soris efFusis." 



Plate III. fig. 6. Spores and sporophores, magnified. 



1146. S. lobatum, n. s. Stipite articulato, deorsum hyaline, 

 sursum in articulos subquaternos subglobosos divisum. 



On fir sticks. Lucknam, April 12, 1865. 



Forming minute, black, pulvinate tufts. At first simple and 

 strongly swollen above. The upper articulation then divides, 

 and ultimately gives ofi" the spores, which are '0006 inch long. 

 The whole plant is about "001 high. 



Plate III. fig. 7. Spores in various stages, magnified. 



1147. Puccinia Apii, Cd. Fasc. vi. tab. i. fig. 11. 



On celery, about London, Sept. 1865, destroying the crops. 

 Plants sent down to Cambridgeshire were equally afi'ected. For
