Menands, Albany co. September. The perithecia in our specimens 
become black with age; the spores exude and form whitish masses. 
They are .0003~.0006 of an inch long, .oo016-.0002 broad (8-16 
x 4-5 1). 
Phyllosticta orbicula E. & E.

Bopecimeas ot EP leurotus, atropellitus -Pk. were erro- 
neously referred to Agaricus applicatus -Batsch in the 
22d Report of the New York State Cabinet, page 78. 
Pleurotus griseus Pk. 
In the 44th Report of the New York State Museum, page 35 
this mushroom was described under the name Pleurotus 
atrocaeruleus griseus. Having observed it for many 
years and having received specimens of it from correspondents 
who collected it in widely separated localities, and finding it con- 
stant in its characters, I am persuaded that it is worthy of specific 
distinction. J have never seen specimens of it showing any blue 
color nor even bluish tints. 
Polyporus arcularius (Batsch) Fr. 
Decaying wood. Lyndonville, Orleans co. C. E. Fairman. 
Polyporus delectans Pk. 
Decaying wood. Vaughns, Washington co. October. 5S. H. 
Burnham. 
Polyporus trabeus Rostk. 
Decaying wood of poplar. Gansevoort, Saratoga co. October. 
Our specimens were found growing with Polyporus caesius 
Fr. on the same prostrate trunk and in close proximity. to it. 
They are nearly the same size, but more glabrous and with no 
bluish tints.
