the collection and the specimen number in the collection. Two 
asterisks (**) following the species name indicates that the specimen 
was marked "sp. n."; a single asterisk (*) indicates that the specimen 
was found in the exsiccati of the author of the species. 
Group I 
The following species had only globular or packet-shaped spores 
and were essentially alike: 
Macrosporium sarcinaeforme"^ Cavara, Fungi Par., Bri. & Cav., Ii6. 
M. cladosporioides Desm., Fungi Sel, Ex., Roum., 5596. 
M. stilhosporoideum Bri. & Cav., N. Amer. Fungi, Ellis, 2080. 
Group 2 
A second group was made of those having globular or packet-shaped 
spores like those of the first group, but having in addition some ovate 
or pointed spores which might be due to variation in the shape of spore 
or to a mixture of two forms: 
M. parasiticum'^'^ Thum., Myc. Univ. Thum., 667; Fungi Par., Bri. & 
Cav., 152. 
M. consortiale"^* Thum., Myc. Univ. Thum., 1373. 
M. sarcinula Berk., Fungi Columb., 3032. 
M. chartarum Pk., N. Amer. Fungi, Ellis, 648; Fungi Sel. Ex., Roum., 
6560. 
M. heteronemum (Desm.) Sacc. Fungi Sel. Ex., Roum., 6647, 6562, 6358. 
The following were possibly the same as the above but they either 
showed minor differences or else the material was not sufficient to 
afford positive judgment: 
M. chartarum Pk., Fungi Columb., 396. 
M. zimmermaneii Thum., Fungi Sel. Ex., Roum., 396. 
M. polytrichum Cke. & Rav., Fungi Par., Bri. & Cav., 191. 
M. puccinioides E. &. And., N. Amer. Fungi, Ellis, 2876. 
Group J 
A third group was made of species having long, narrow, regular, 
tapering spores with few longitudinal septa. All were apparently 
parasitic: 
M. euphorhiae"^"^ Bart., Fungi Columb., 2633. 
M. carotae^ E. &. E., N. Amer. Fungi, Ellis, 3289; Fungi Columb., 2632.
