and it is probable that the peculiar appendix is a sort of floating 

 apparatus. 



Stagonospora aquatica Sacc. 

 This fungus, in litterature known to grow upon Scirpus triqueter- 

 stems (France), was found by us in the heath at Borris upon stems of 



Scirpus caespitosus. 



Hyphomycetes. 



Chalara Ginkgonis n. sp. 



Hyphis sterilibus repentibus vel nullis, fertilibus 

 stricte erectis, unicellularibus vel cellula basali mi- 

 nima, e basi ampullacea leniter attenuatis, cylindricis, 

 long. 50—62 fi, crass, basi c. 9 jut, apice 2 — 3*/2 ju, 

 fuscis. (Rarius forma vix tumida, 2 — 6-locularis 

 occurrit). Gonidiis intra tubulos formatis, ex apice 

 deinceps exsilientibus, (catenulatis non visis), cylin- 

 dricis, utrinque truncatis, 5 — p. X 2— 2V2 pt, 

 hyalinis.

Heterosporium Fraxini n. sp. 



Gaespitulis nigris, congregatis; hyphis 

 mento sympodiali flexuosis, sparsim ramosis, 

 neolis, basi stromatico. Gonidiis 

 genis , cylindricis , utrinque rotundatis, 

 (aseptatis vel) 1 — 3 septatis, griseolis, ple- 

 rumque circ. 17 x 5 — 6 p., maximis circ. 

 25 x 7 — 10 ju, muriculatis.

 excelsioris prope Vaerloese Selandiae. 



The caespitula generally break forth 

 through the epidermis, more seldom through 

 the stomata. In the season in question (De- 

 cember) the conidia-formation was lively, 

 and the conidia formed germinated as 

 well fructificatively (Alternaria) as vege- 

 tatively. 



There appeared to be a slight inclination to formation of septa. 

 The fungus grew in company with a Macrosporium and Phoma 

 samararum Desm.
