Saccardo & BerlesEo— "Miscellanea Mycologica," a small pamphlet 

 in which are published the following species of North American fungi : 

 Irpex formosus, Sacc. 



Pilei definitely lateral, frequently two confluent, flabelliform, mar- 

 gin deeply incise-lobed, narrowed behind, pale alutaceous, 6—7 cm. long, 

 membranaceo-coriaceous, flat, longitudinally substriate, scarcely dis- 

 colored-zonate, with a shining, silky surface but almost glabrous. 

 Teeth crowded, narrow, acute, incised, slightly connected by a narrow 

 membrane at base, alutaceous. 



On trunks, Mexico (Galeotti). Allied to I. zonatus and L incrustans, 

 but differs in its minute, crowded teeth. 



Chromosporium vitellinum, Sacc. & Ell. 



Effused, pulveraceous, bright golden yellow. Conidia ellipsoid, 6i— 7 

 X 4i — 5 or globose, 5 — 6 /^-, yellow. 



On old Polyporus and on rotten wood adjacent. New Jersey. 

 FusARiuM scolecoides, Sacc. & Ell. 



Tufts arachnoid, subefEused, white, minute. Hyphse long, simple or 

 forked, 130—180 x 2 subseptate, hyaline. Conidia narrowly fusoid, 

 acute at each end, curved, 5-septate and variously nucleate, 70—80 x 8—4 

 hyaline. 



On branches of Bohinia, Bethlehem, Pa., E. A. Eau. 



CoNTOTHYRnJM Arthurian^um, Sacc & Berlese. 



Perithecia gregarious, covered by the epidermis, globose-depressed, 

 subpapillate, 1-6 mm. in diameter, black. Spores globose-ellipsoid 

 rounded at each end, 5—6 x 4—5 pale olivaceous. 



On herbaceous stems (Cucurbita?) Geneva, N. Y., with Epicoccum 

 neglectum. Prof. J. C. Arthur. 



MARTINDALIA, Sacc. & Ell., nov. gen. 



[Dedicated to Isaac C. Martindale, the well known phsenogamic bot- 

 anist, of Camden, N. J.] 



Stipe (or stroma) subterete, formed of compacted, filiform, hyaline 

 threads. Fertile hyphse projecting from the apex of the stipe and form- 

 ing a loose head, threads loosely involute and laterally nodulose, bearing 

 the hyaline, globose conidia along their sides. Differs from Stilhum and 

 Isaria in the absence of mucus and in the spirally convolute, fertile 

 threads. 



Martindalia spironema, Sacc. & Ell. 



White throughout, stipes 1—2 mm. high, thickened at the base, 

 terminating above in an oval head, not pulverulent or mucose. Fertile 

 hyphse or basidia long, continuous, 2—3 diameter, hyaline, spirally 

 involute above, with minute, lateral teeth, Conidia globose, 5—6 p-, 

 with a single nucleus, hyaline or pale rose color. 



On elm barrel staves in a cellar, Newfield, N. J., June, 1884.
