98 Thirty-eighth Report on the State Museum. 



Septoria Trillii, Fk. 



Living leaves of Trillium erectum. Adirondack mountains. June. 



Septoria fumosa, n. sp. 



Spots angular or irregular, often confluent, smoky-brown or grayish- 

 brown with a darker margin ; perithecia epiphyllous, .0025 to .003 in. 

 broad, black; spores filiform ; .0012 to .002 in. long. 



Living or languishing leaves of Solidago Canadensis. Albany. June. 



The spores are shorter than those of S. VirgaurecB. 



Septoria Diervillae, n. sp. 



Spots suborbicular, whitish or cinereous, with a oroad indefinite 

 brown or purplish-brown margin ; perithecia epiphyllous, minute, black; 

 spores filiform, curved or flexuous, very slender, .001 to .0016 in. long. 



Living or languishing leaves of Diervilla trifida. Adirondack moun- 

 tains. June. 



The spots, which are at first brown or purplish-brown, at length be- 

 come paler and arid in the center, and on this central part the perithe- 

 cia appear. 



Rhabdospora subgrisea, n. sj). 



Perithecia numerous, punctiform, depressed, black, covered by the 

 epidermis, generally forming long, indefinite, grayish-brown spots ; spores 

 filiform, straight or curved, .0012 to .0025 in. long. 



Dead stems and galls of various species of Solidago. Albany. G. IT'. 

 Clinton. West Albany. Apr. and May. 



Diplodia pinea, Kx. 



Dead bark of pine, Pinus Strohis. West Albany. May. 



In our specimens the spores are .0008 to .0014 in. long and .0005 to 

 .0007 broad, which is somewhat less than the dimensions given in the 

 description . Oui plant is, therefore, distinguished as variety corticola. 



Staganospora Smilacis, Sacc. 



Living leaves of Sniilax herbacea. Albany. G. W. Clinton. West 

 Albany. May. 



The spots closely resemble those of Sphceropsis smilacina, Pk., 

 Phoma smilacina, Sacc, which may be an immature or imperfectly de- 

 veloped form of the same species. It is Ascochyta Smilacis, E. & M. 



Glceosporium Ribis, Cast. 



Living or languishing leaves of fetid currant, Rihes prostratum. 

 Adirondack mountains. June. 



In our specimens the spores are a little longer than in our European 

 specimens and longer than the dimensions given in some of the descrip- 

 tions, but I see no other difference 



Glceosporium Salicis, West. 



Languishing leaves of Salix longifoUa. North Greenbush. Sept. 

 Our specimens have the spores either simple or two or three-nucleate
