and found the spores to measure 17-20 x 7-9 fx. The material 

 collected by the writer does not show spores, but it is undoubtedly 

 this species. Thiessen considers Earle's species to be identical 

 with L. Dendrochili. 



Material examined: 



On Agave sp. Plants of Porto Rico (Heller), No. 4429, Cabo 

 Rojo, Jan. 29, 1900 (type) ; Cornell University Explorations of 

 Porto Rico (Chardon), No. 837, Penuelas, July 20, 1920. 



HYPOCREALES 

 The system of Seaver (24) will be followed in this order. 



Nectriaceae 



Hyponectria Phaseoli Stevens, Bot. Gaz. 70: 401. 1920. 

 Phyllachora Phaseoli P. Henn, in Chardon Mycol. 12 : 320. 

 1920. 



The collection of this fungus previously reported by the writer 

 as Phyllachora agrees perfectly with the description of Stevens's 

 species. 



Material examined : 



On Phaseolus adenanthus Meyer. Cornell University Explora- 

 tions of Porto Rico (Whetzel & Olive), No. 659, Tamana River, 

 Apr. 7, 1916. 



Creonectria ochroleuca (Schw.) Seaver, Mycol. 1 : 190. 1909. 



? Creonectria grammicospora (Ferd. & Wge.) Seaver, in Char- 

 don Mycol. 12 : 319. 1920. 



This species resembles Creonectria Bainii (Massee) Seaver in 

 perithecial, ascus and spore characters; it differs in that the peri- 

 thecia are flesh colored when young. The color soon changes to 

 light yellow, and then it becomes impossible to tell the two arjart. 

 Creonectria grammicospora (F. & W.) Seaver is probably identi- 

 cal with Creo. ochroleuca, or represents a variety of it, but definite 

 action in regard to this point can not be taken until the type 

 materials of both species have been examined.
