Vermicularia Schcenoprasi Auers. 



Dead leaves of wild leek, Allium tricoccum. 

 Pierrepont Manor. June. 



Sphaeropsis ulmicola K <£ K 



Dead branches of elm. Ulmus Americana. Cooperstown 

 Junction. June. 



In our specimens the perithecia are sometimes collected in 

 clusters of two or three as in the genus Haplosporella, and they 

 are erumpent and exposed, not covered by the epidermis. The 

 spores are very pale, almost hyaline. But in other respects they 

 agree well with the description of the typical form. 



Diplodia subtectoides n. sp. 



Perithecia small, numerous, erumpent, arranged in a some- 

 what seriate manner or in short interrupted straight or flexuous 

 lines ; spores obovate or elliptical, continuous or uniseptate, .0005 

 to .0006 in. long, .00025 to .0003 broad. 



Dead bark of maple, Acer saccharinum. Alcove. " November. 

 Shear. 



This species may be separated from its near relative, D. subtecta, 

 by its smaller spores, with simple ones often intermingled with 

 those of normal form. 



Septoria centaureicola Brun. 



Living leaves of seedling plants of bluebottle, Centaurea 

 Cyanus. Menands. November and December. 



In our specimens the spores are a little shorter and broader 

 than the dimensions given in the description of the typical form. 

 The plant is therefore designated Variety brevispora. Spores 

 .0012 to .0016 in. long, .00012 broad. 



Septoria Divaricatae E. & K 



Living or languishing leaves of divaricate phlox, Phlox divari-
