  POLYPORUS 
  NIGR0PURPURASCENS 
  ScTlW. 
  * 
  

  

  A 
  resupinate 
  form 
  was 
  found 
  on 
  elm 
  in 
  Bethlehem. 
  In 
  some 
  

   of 
  these 
  specimens 
  the 
  hymenium 
  was 
  much 
  paler 
  than 
  is 
  usual 
  

   in 
  this 
  species. 
  The 
  pores 
  are 
  seated 
  on 
  a 
  thin 
  but 
  tough 
  elas- 
  

   tic 
  membrane 
  which 
  is 
  separable 
  from 
  the 
  substance 
  of 
  the 
  

   pileus. 
  

  

  Stereum 
  balsameum 
  Pic. 
  

  

  The 
  hymenium 
  in 
  this 
  becomes 
  red 
  or 
  blood-stained 
  where 
  

   wounded 
  as 
  in 
  8. 
  sanguinolentum. 
  Its 
  general 
  color 
  is 
  darker 
  

   than 
  in 
  that 
  species. 
  

  

  Stereum 
  purpureum 
  Fr. 
  

  

  I 
  find 
  this 
  a 
  very 
  variable 
  plant. 
  One 
  form 
  has 
  the 
  hymenium 
  

   very 
  pale 
  with 
  only 
  a 
  slight 
  purplish 
  tint. 
  Another 
  has 
  the 
  

   pileus 
  zoneless 
  and 
  when 
  moist 
  it 
  is 
  darker 
  than 
  when 
  dry. 
  

  

  CoRYNETTM 
  CLAV^SPORUM 
  Pic. 
  

  

  This 
  proves 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  Fxosporium 
  Tilioz 
  Lk. 
  I 
  have 
  

   never 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  find 
  it 
  with 
  flocci 
  and 
  therefore 
  doubt 
  if 
  it 
  

   should 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  the 
  genus 
  Helminthosporium 
  as 
  some 
  

   authors 
  think. 
  

  

  Puccinia 
  Hieracii 
  Mart. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  M. 
  Muger 
  sends 
  specimens 
  of 
  a 
  Puccinia 
  found 
  on 
  leaves 
  

   of 
  hawkweed, 
  at 
  Woodhaven, 
  L. 
  I., 
  which 
  should 
  perhaps 
  be 
  

   referred 
  to 
  this 
  species, 
  but 
  I 
  fail 
  to 
  find 
  any 
  good 
  mark 
  of 
  

   distinction 
  between 
  it 
  and 
  P 
  variabilis. 
  

  

  Puccinia 
  Amphibii 
  Felcl. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  now 
  regarded 
  as 
  distinct 
  from 
  P. 
  Polygonorum, 
  and 
  

   our 
  specimens 
  of 
  Puccinia 
  on 
  leaves 
  of 
  P. 
  amphibium 
  should 
  

   be 
  referred 
  to 
  it. 
  

  

  USTILAGO 
  TJRCEOLORUM 
  Tul. 
  

  

  This 
  occurs 
  in 
  the 
  Adirondack 
  region 
  on 
  Carex 
  striata, 
  C. 
  

   stellulata, 
  C. 
  crinita, 
  C. 
  utriculata 
  and 
  O. 
  oligosperma. 
  

  

  Triohobasis 
  Howei 
  PJc, 
  

  

  I 
  would 
  change 
  this 
  name 
  to 
  Uromyces 
  Howei 
  Pk. 
  since 
  I 
  

   find 
  that 
  the 
  pedicels, 
  though 
  very 
  short 
  and 
  obscure, 
  are 
  

   permanent.
