22. Discella pilosula, E. and E. 



Jour. Mycol., vol. 5, page 153. 



On a decorticated maple, Lyndonville, April, 1889. 



23. Septoria divaricata, E. and E. 



Jour. Mycol, vol. 3, page 85, vol. 5, page 151. 



On living leaves of Phlox divaricata, Lyndonville, N. Y., May, 1889. 



24. Coniosporium Fairmani, Sacc. (Plate 4, figs. 14-15). 

 Jour. Mycol, vol. 5, page 78. 



Ab affin C. Apiosporiade differt conidiis multis minoribus, 5-7 //. 

 d., globosis, levibus, fuligineis, subinde i-nucleatis On cortex of 

 Hubbard squash, exposed to the weather, Lyndonville, N. Y., February 

 10, 1886. The fungus covers the rind with black sooty patches. 



25. Didymium Fairmani, Sacc, (Plate 3, figs. 7, 8, 9). 

 Jour. Mycol, vol. 5, page 78. 



Dignostitus peridiis, sparsis, sessilibus, floccis hyalinis laxe reticul- 

 atis, sporis levibus, 8-10 //. diam, crystallis eximie stellatis. Columella 

 subglobosa, fuscella. 



On the lower surfaces of leaves of Smilacina bifolia. Aug., 1886. 



In the original publication of the species, named by Dr. Saccardo, 

 there was an error in translation, and I have thought best to insert here 

 the original diagnoses. 



26. Mucor Taeniae,;/, sp., (Plate 4, figs. 4, 5, 6). 

 Sporangiferous hyphae erect, rarely, if ever branched, septate, 



yellow, 7 /i. diam. 



Sporangia globose, brownish or yellow brown, smooth, mostly 40 

 //. in diam. Columella elliptical or sub-sphaeroidal, at times with con- 

 traction at the base, brownish. 



Spores globose, or ellipsoid, light yellow, 3-5 fi. in diam., with 

 smooth epispore. Zygospores not observed. 



On segments or joints of tape worm ( Taenia solium). The fungus 

 forms a felted mat on the affected joints, of a sordid yellow color. At 

 times the hyphae have contents contracted into bands. 



The parasitism of the mucor upon the entozoon or intestinal 

 parasite is curious and interesting. It seems to me distinct from 

 Mucor mucedo in smooth sporangia and spores, and from Mucor ereclus, 

 Bainier, by the color of the spores.

 No. 1,262, Sylloge Fungorum, vol. 8.
