the Curtis collection confirms Farlow's belief that this fungus is not an 
Aspergillus. 
A. aureus Berkeley (Berkeley, M. J.). English Flora 5: 346. 1836. 
The golden yellow, elliptical conidia reported by Berkeley suggest A . citri- 
sporus, but actual identification from the description is impossible. 
S. hutyracea Bdiimer. Bull. Soc. Bot. France 27 : 29. 1880. C. Roume- 
guere. Fungi Gallici Exsiccati, no. 995. The organism has not since been 
reported. The material preserved in the Harvard herbarium shows some 
conidial fruiting fairly typical of A. niger, areas which correspond with 
Bainier's S. Jusca, and some material which was probably S. butyracea but 
in which details of head structure, mature conidial markings, and measure- 
ments were not determinable with certainty. The information obtainable 
suggests relationship to A. tamari.

1902. This form was described by von Hohnel from excrement of larvae. 
A cultural description is given under this name to a form similarly isolated 
by Thaxter (no. 4186.10). A specimen was collected by Peck at Sandlake, 
N. Y., from excrement of caterpillars and preserved in the herbarium of 
the New York Botanical Garden. Another specimen of this species is 
found in the collection of the Michigan Academy of Science as determined 
by Kauffman. 
5. castanea Patterson. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 27: 284. 1900. The 
color given suggests A. tamari, but the exsiccati show that this form was 
one of the paler forms of A. niger. 
A. effusus Tiraboschi. Annali di Botanica 7, fasc. i : 16. 1908. Name 
cited without description by Tiraboschi in Atti Terzo Congresso Pella- 
gralogico Italiano, Milano 1906: 139, 142. 1907. This name is accepted 
for a series of cultures obtained in America and described (page 109). 
A. flavescens Wreden. Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. Paris 65: 368. 1867. 
Also St. Petersb. Med. Zeitschr. 13: 133. 1867. There is no record that 
the organism of Wreden was cultivated. It was tentatively placed by us 
(Thom, C, and Church, M. B. Amer. Jour. Bot. 5: 100. 1918) with 
A. nidulans from the descriptions given, but has been repeatedly cited as a 
synonym of A. flavus. The name was used by Lichtheim (Lichtheim, L. 
Ueber pathogenen Schimmelpilze. Berliner Klin. Wochenschr. 19: 128, 
147. 1882) and others for a strain certainly belonging to the A. flavus 
series. There is no direct evidence that this usage was based upon positive 
identification of Wreden's material.
