Puccinia conii (Strauss) Fuckel, II, III. 

 On leaves of C o n i u m m a c u 1 a t u m L. Eastport, Long 

 Island. Collected by Dr C. H. Peck, August. 



Ramularia cichorii Dearness & House, n. sp. 



Spots scattered, small, grayish brown, alike on both sides of the 

 leaf, bounded by usually 2 or 3 concentric ridges, 2-3 mm in 

 diameter; tufts epiphyllous, iliinute, scarcely visible in the absence 

 of sporules ; conidia hyaline, not numerous on the tufts, even, 

 continuous, 15-22 x 2^ /u. 



On living leaves of C i c h o r i u m i n t y b u s L. Evans Mills, 

 N. Y. July. Collected by Dr C. H. Peck. ' 



Scolescosporium coryli Dearness & House, n. sp. 



Spots arid, definitely narro\y bordered, 2-3 mm broad ; acervuli 

 epiphyllous, brown, irregular on the veinlets, hemispherical on the 

 flat surface of the leaf, 100-150 /x; conidia four-ceUed, apical cell 

 hyaline, somewhat elongate, subacute, others smoky brown, the 

 basal one rounded; some of the spores curved, 12 x 5 /x. 



On languishing leaves of Corylus americana Walt. 

 Coleman's, N. Y. Collected by Dr C. H. Peck, October 3, 1908. 



Septoria cryptotaeniae Ell. & Rau 

 On leaves of Deringa canadensis (L.) Kuntze. Fonda. 

 Collected by Dr C. H. Peck, June. 



Septoria mollisia Dearness & House, n. sp. 



The affected part of the leaf, often the whole leaf, sordid or 

 dull brown ; pycnidia epiphyllous, waxy brown, punctate, very 

 numerous, evenly scattered, 50-150 ^ in diameter, widely open, 

 saucerlike, suggesting ^lolhsia or Belonopsis ; sporules straight, 

 continuous, long and very narrow, 35-65 (mostly 60) by .5-75 /x. 



On leaves of A n t e n n a r i a n e o d i o i c a Greene and A . 

 canadensis Greene, collected by Vi. S. Baxter near Greece, 

 ^lonroe county, N. Y., ]\Iay 1913. This species differs from 

 Septoria lanariae Fairm. in lacking definite, margined 

 spots and having longer, narrower sporules. 



It may be questioned whether the waxy appearing rim is a part 

 of a true pycnidial wall and whether the plant should not be called 

 a Cylindrosporium.
