The affinities of this fungus are doubtful. It is provisionally 

 referred to the genus Tremella, although the central part of the sub- 

 stance is fleshy rather than gelatinous. The plants revive on the 

 application of moisture and when moist are somewhat tremelloid. 

 The tufts form beautiful little rosettes. 



Grancliiiia membranacea P. & ft, n. sp. 



Effused, thin, membranaceous, whitish or subalutaceous, sometimes 

 slightly tinged with greenish-yellow or olivaceous ; granules numer- 

 ous, crowded, unequal ; spores broadly elliptical or subglobose, 

 slightly rough, .00025 to .0003 in. long. 



Much decayed wood, leaves, etc. Tonawanda. G. W. Clinton. 



Apparently related in texture to G. pcqrillosa, but differing in 

 color and in its even, not rimose, hymenium. 



Plioma callospora P. & ft, n. sp. 



Perithecia small, scattered, slightly prominent, covered by the 

 epidermis, black ; spores oblong or cylindrical, obtuse, straight or 

 curved, containing 3 to 5 nuclei, .0006 to .0008 in. long, .0002 to 

 .00025 broad. 



Dead stems of Polygonum. Buffalo. October. G. W. Clinton. 



Plioina comma. 



Perithecia numerous, not crowded, minute, nearly covered by the 

 stellately ruptured epidermis, black, opening by a large pore ; spores 

 oblong, obtuse, .0012 to .0016 in. long, .0005 to .00055 broad. 



Dead branches of green osier, Comus circinata. Sprakers. June. 



This and the preceding species are erroneously referred to the 

 genus Sphagropsis in the Thirty-second Report. 



Sphoeropsis typhina. 



Perithecia scattered, subcorneal, slightly prominent, often com- 

 pressed ; spores fusiform, pointed at each end, colored, .0006 in. long, 

 .00016 broad. 



Dead leaves of Typha latifoHa. Sprakers. June. 



The fusiform pointed spores constitute a noticeable character in 

 this species. 



Protomyces conglomerates. 



Spores imbedded in the tissues of the stems of the host plant, 

 large, globose, colored, .0016 to .002 in. in diameter, aggregated in
