  Judge 
  Clinton 
  remarks 
  that 
  the 
  fungus 
  curls 
  and 
  kills 
  the 
  leaves 
  

   of 
  the 
  cultivated 
  roses. 
  The 
  fungus 
  is 
  now 
  regarded 
  as 
  a 
  state 
  of 
  

   Sphcerotheca 
  pannosa, 
  the 
  perfect 
  condition 
  of 
  which 
  we 
  have 
  not 
  

   yet 
  seen. 
  

  

  Stysanus 
  Stemonitis

  Fallen 
  leaves 
  of 
  Amelanchier 
  Canadensis. 
  

  

  Our 
  specimens 
  do 
  not 
  fully 
  agree 
  with 
  the 
  description 
  and 
  are 
  

   therefore 
  referred 
  here 
  with 
  some 
  hesitation. 
  The 
  stem 
  is 
  black 
  and 
  

   has 
  a 
  decidedly 
  swollen 
  or 
  bulbiform 
  base 
  so 
  that, 
  after 
  the 
  spores 
  

   have 
  fallen, 
  the 
  plant 
  might 
  readily 
  be 
  taken 
  for 
  a 
  Sphseria 
  with 
  a 
  

   long 
  subulate 
  ostiolum.

  The 
  apples 
  were 
  first 
  attacked 
  by 
  Spilocwa 
  Pomi, 
  then 
  on 
  these 
  

   affected 
  spots 
  this 
  fungus 
  appeared, 
  forming 
  a 
  whitish, 
  scarcely 
  

   roseate, 
  effused 
  pulverulent 
  mass.

  to

  here.
