GYMNOSPORIUM HARKNESSIOIDES, Ell. & Hoi. 

 [Journal of Mycology, iVb. 1, p. 6.) 

 Mr. Hoi way sends the following additional note : 

 "I found these spores very abundant on leaves of nearly every plant 

 in the grove where I first discovered it. No immature stage could be 

 found. It often occurred on every leaf of a tall Lophanthus, where it 

 would seem impossible for a fungus to discharge its spores. They are 

 much like the spores of some Sordaria, bu^ the most careful search 

 failed to find any such origin for it."
