ne\er seen the original specimens on yucca and ha\-e taken the fore- 

 iroiug from Gre\'illea. The conidial stage is Fusarium Yuccai. 



On Yucca aloifolia, Aiken, So. Carolina. 



From an examination of the specimens in N. A. F. (det. by Cke.) 

 we add the following notes. — Perithecia ovoid-globose, small (160- 

 190 /z), pale and furfuraceous at first, becoming bare and pale red. 

 Ostiolum papillate and slighth- darker. Asci clavate-cylindrical, 

 35-40x4//, sessile. Sporidia oblong-elliptical, subbiseriate, 9-11 x 

 3-3J 11. There are often six and even ten perithecia on each erumpent, 

 white byssoid-grumose stroma. 



The N. A. F. specc. were found on dead Clethra, at Newfield, N. J. 



N. aglseothele, B. & C. Grev. lY, p. 45. 



Pale; ostiolum distinct, papilliform, darker, then deeply sunk by 

 collapsion. Asci linear. Sporidia -elliptical, uniseriate, slightly attenu- 

 ated at each end, 12-14 //long. 



On alder, apparently growing from the remains of some Coccus^ 

 New England (Sprague). 



A stylosporous form {N. crusttilina, B. & Rav., Santee Canal, So. 

 Carolina), has cespitose, neat tan-colored perithecia with obovate, uni- 

 septate sporules, 10-15 n long. 



N. rimincola, Oke. Grev. XI, p. 108. 



Bxsicc. Rav. F. Am. 644. 



Gregarious or scattered, superficial, scarlet, growing in cracks of 

 the bark. Perithecia subglobose, finally depressed, glabrous, sub- 

 shining, \ mm. diam. Asci cylindrical. Sporidia uniseriate, unisep- 

 tate, hyaline, not constricted, 12x4//. 



In cracks of the bark of Liquidarnbar, seaboard of Carolina 

 (Ravenel).

ExsiCC. fill. N. A. F. 572. 



Perithecia densely gregarious, globose-conoid, not collapsing, very 

 small (125 //), blood-red, ostiolum rather obtuse-conical, texture loosely 

 cellular, rose-tinted, paler around the ostiolum. Asci clavate-cylin- 

 drical 60x7-8, without paraphyses, briefly-stipitate, obtuse at the 

 apex, containing eight oblong, subclavate, hyaline, uniseptate, 10-11 x 

 4-4| [J. sporidia. 



This was first found on old cabbage stalks and at the same time 

 the next year on old potato stalks lying scattered over the same ground
