On Meliola hyptidicola Stev. on Hyptis, 5760, Monte de Oro (type). 
This does not agree with any pycnidial forms given by GAILLARD as 
occurring on Meliola; 3 only of his are yellow spored, namely, those on M. 
ganglifera, M. cladotricha, and M. furcata. The first two have large spores, and 
the length of neck of the pycnidium on my species does not agree at all with 
any of the three. NV. hypftidicola is also distinct from the rather closely allied 
genus Cicinobella recorded as parasitic on Parodiella. 
Coniothyrium glabroides, sp. nov.—Pycnidia small, 50-90 n, 
brown, ostiole distinct, no beak; mycelium inconspicuous; spores 
brown, 4-5 X3.5 uw, obtuse, oblong. 
On Meliola glabroides Stev. on Piper aduncum, 4802 (type). On Meliola 
tortuosa Wint. on Piper umbellatum, 3379, Maricao; also on no. 6258 of the 
Heller collection and on Meliola compositarum E. and no. 6185 of the Heller 
collection. On Meliola guareicola Stev. on Guarea trichilioides, 8166, Las 
Marias. On Meliola arecibensis Stev. on Acalypha bisetosa, 6547, near Utuado. 
On Meliola compositarum var. portoricensis Stev., 6032, on Eupatorium por- 
toricense. 
This fungus bears resemblance to Cicinobella, but the ostiole does not 
protrude. The spores too are different in size from the only species of that 
genus described. Specimens on Meliola panici E. on Lasiacis divaricata, 
no. 4298, Manati, agree closely with the preceding except that the spores are 
hyaline. I take them to be immature and place the specimens under this name. 
The same is true of specimen 7269, Quebradillas, on Meliola pteridicola Stev. 
on Aneimia adiantifolia. 
In the closely allied genus Chaetophoma the following species 
have been described on Meliola and related genera. 
C. foeda Sacc. on Capnodium, C. penzigi Sacc. on M. penzigt, 
C. citri Sacc. on M. citri, C.(?) ampullula Speg. on M. dubia, C.(?) 
asterinum Speg. on Asterina sp., C. perpusilla Speg. on Asterina 
pseudopelliculosa, C. meliolicola Speg. on Dimerosporium. 
GAILLARD mentions pycnidial fungi on the following species of 
Meliola: M. ganglifera, M. cladotricha, M. penicilliformis, M. 
ambigua, M. desmodii, M. furcata, M. dichotoma. 
MONTLIALES 
Acremonium meliola, sp. nov.—Mycelium copious, white to 
salmon colored, forming cottony blotches on leaves where it over- 
grows Meliola, fine, 3 uw, septate, hyaline. Conidiophores smiliar 
to the mycelium, erect or ascending, often simple or with dichoto-
