3 



diameter, mostly included in brown dead areas of the leaf which are 

 limited by a dark, narrow border. Hyphae in small, loose spreading 

 tufts, mostly 3 — 10 in each tuft, brown, continuous or sparingly and faint* 

 ly septate, more or less geniculate and toothed above, 50—75 x 4i— 5/^-. 

 conidia slender, linear-lanceolate, 50—80 x 4— 5y-, multiseptate, hyalinev 

 Quite dilferent from C. consociata Winter. 



Cercospora glai^dulosa, E. & K.— On leaves of Ailanthus glandu- 

 losa, Manhattan, Ks., March '84. Hypophyllous on reddish brown spots 

 (i— Jem.) limited above by a slightly raised border; hyphse csespitose. 

 brown, stout, subundulate above, 50—70 x 4—5 ; conidia hyaline slen- 

 der, 3—5 septate, 70—100 x 3—3^ /^-, gradually narrowed above. The spots 

 become at length dirty white above. 



RamulariaEuonymi,E.&K — On leaves of E atropurpureus, Man- 

 hattan, Ks., Oct. '84. Amphigenoiis, on dirty white spots, 2 — 3 mm. iu 

 diam., with a dark but scarcely raised border. Hyphae, arising from a 

 tubercular base, csespitose, hyaline, simple and subentire or slightly 

 toothed above ; onidia concatenate, oblong-cylindrical, mostly 1— septate 

 (occasionally 2— 3— septate) hyaline, 20—25 x 3 r-. Accompanied by 

 minute, black, immature perithecia scattered over dead parts of the leaf 

 the whole being probably the conidial and pycnidial stage of some 

 Sphserella. This has much the same general appearance as Cercospora 

 Euonymi, Ell., but the spots. are larger and more irregular in shape with- 

 out any distinct colored border, and the character of the conidia show it 

 to be quite distinct from that species. 



AscocHYTA Atriplicis, Desm. var. effusa, E. & K.— On fading 

 leaves of Atriplex, Great Bend, Ks., Aug '8i. Differs from the normal 

 form in the absence of spots, the perithecia 100— 120 in diam., being 

 evenly scattered over the surface of the leaves and filled with oblong- 

 cylindrical 1 — septate, slightly constricted, brownish. 8—12 x 4 — 5 !>■ spores. 



Glceosporium fusarioides, E. & K.— On leaves of Asdepias Cornuti. 

 Great Bend, Ks., Aug. '84 Spore masses i— I mm. in diam. Subcu- 

 ticular, scattered irregularly or collected in groups, in which case the 

 part of the leaf occupied assumes a dark brownish look. The spores 

 ooze out on both surfaces of the leaf but more abundantly above, being 

 of an oblong-cylindrical shape. 20—30 x 5—6 /^-, filled with greenish gran- 

 ular matter and globose transparent nuclei. The spores spring from elon- 

 gated cells (basidia) arising directly from the inner surface of the hymen- 

 eal cavity. 



Asterixa Celastri, E. & K.— On living leaves of C. scandens, 

 Manhattan, Ks., ISTov. 1884. Perithecia hypophyllous, either collected in 

 groups or scattered, convex, orbicular,(Jmm ) black, with a scanty mycel- 

 ium of brown radiating threads around the base ; asci oblong-ovate, 

 12—15 x 6—7 filled with granular matter (immature). The parts of the 

 leaf occupied by the groups of perithedia are a little darker than the sur- 

 sounding portions.
