1890.] FAIRMAN — FUNGI OF WESTERN NEW YORK. 53 



On inner surface of bark (Oak ?) lying on the ground. Ridgeway 

 and Lyndon ville, N. Y., April, 1888. 



28. Helotium fumosum, E. and E. 



On dead stems of Leonurus cardiaca and Lappa major, May, 1889. 

 Specimens were furnished for distribution in N. A. F. 



29. Camarosporium acerinum, E. and E., n. sp. 



Differs from the allied C subfenestratum, B and C, in its broader 

 (15-26x8-10 ft.), triseptate spores, and more prominent perithecia. 



On dead maple limbs, Lyndonville, N. Y. 



C. subfenestratum was described by Berkeley from specimens on 

 Robinia, and no other host was given. A form found at Lyndonville, 

 on Ailanthus glandulosus would be C. Berkeleyanum, (Lev.) of some 

 authors, but Mr. J. B. Ellis informs us that Prof. Farlow, who has 

 the original specimens, says this is scarcely distinct from C. subfene- 

 stratum. Evidently the three species are very closely allied. 



30. Tubulina cylindrica, (Bull.) var. acuta, Peck, (in Hit.) 

 Differs very noticeably from the type in having the peridia acute 



instead of "rounded" at the apex. Otherwise no marked differences 

 exist. Hab. on rotten stumps in woods. 



The illustrations were drawn from camera lucida sketches, by the 

 author and Miss L. A. Weld.
