REPORT OF THE STAVE BOTANIST, I919 43 



Venturia fimbriata Dearness & House, sp. nov. 



Perithecia dark brown, superficial, easily freed from the leaf, scat- 

 tered over its upper surface, with short brist/elike hairs on the upper 

 half of the perithecia, more or less fimbriate at the base with short 

 or long, septate, branching hyphae, 90 to 180 micr. in diameter and 

 rather higher than broad. Asci subcylindrical, often wider below the 

 middle, sometimes curved, 30-35x7-8 /x; paraphyses sparse. Spo- 

 ridia hyaline, biseriate, uniseptate, elliptic, subacute at each end, 



lO-II X 3 /x. 



Epiphyllous on languishing leaves of A n t e n n a r i a , sp. Oneida, 

 Madison county. May 20, 1918. H. D. House. Type in New York 

 State Museum herbarium. 



It is not easy to determine whether this should be referred to 

 \' c r 1 i^ r i a or to A s t e r i n a . but as the hairs at the top of the 

 perithecia are distinctly bristlelike, it is here referred to Venturia. 



Associated on some of the leaves with Septoria mollisia 

 Dearness & House.

STUDIES IN THE GENUS INOCYBE 



C. H. KAUFFMAN 



I The Species of Inocybe in Peck's Collections 



The genus Inocybe lias been partially monographed both in Europe 

 and in the United States. The species of Fries and Quelet, as well as 

 those of older date, have been critically studied in part by Bresadola, 

 Patouillard, Massee and others, and more or less uniform concep- 

 tions have been evolved for the European species. A considerable 

 number of species were described from the United States by Doctor 

 Peck, mostly from New York State ; but with the exception of these 

 species of Peck, comparatively few had been named in this country
