SACCARDO’S SYLLOGE FUNGORUM. 
To this genus belongs Dicoccum diplodium, which is the Spori- 
desmium diplodium, Cooke. 
III. Phragmospor^, Sacc. 
Conidia 2 or more septate, elongated. 
a. Conidia concatenate. 
8. Septonema, Corda. 
j3. Conidia single, 
9. Clasterispprium, Schweinitz. 
This should not be Closterosporium, as written by Saccardo. 
There is no justification for thus altering an author’s name. 
10. Bactrodesmium, Cooke (perhaps including Hymenopodium, 
Corda) for the reception of several species with clavate, multi- 
septate, but not muriform spores, hitherto united with Sporidesmium ; 
such as S. abruptum, B. & Br. spilomeum, B. & Br., &c. 
11. Ceratophorum, Sacc. 
12. Gyroceras, Corda. 
13. Ceratosporium, Schweinitz. 
This has priority of Hirudinaria, Ces., and to it should be re- 
ferred Sporidesmium digitatum, Cooke. 
14. Stigmina, Sacc. , 
We do not trace Polydesmus, D.R. & M., in this arrangement. 
lY. Dictyospor^, Sacc. 
Conidia, globose or oblong, muriformly septate. 
a. Conidia concatenate. 
15. Sirodesmium, D. 
We do not see Trimmat o stroma, Corda, recognized as distinct 
from Coniothecium. Part of Sporidesmium, indeed a large part, 
belong to this section instead of the next, as the conidia are 
normally concatenate. 
/3. Conidia single. 
16. Sporidesmium, Link, {not Sporodesmium). 
17. Tetraploa, B. ^ Br. 
18. Dictyosporium, Corda. 
Speira, Corda. 
We do not agree with placing this genus here, its affinities are 
with the Amerosporce. 
19. Stigmella, Lev. 
20. Coniothecium, Corda. 
We have made these suggestions in advance, rather than have 
to urge them after the work is complete.
