Gnomonia Sllyiricae. C. ^ E. 
Peritheciis sparsis, immersis, collo elongato, rostrato ; ascis 
lanceolatis; sporidiis arcte ellipticis, inasqiialiter uniseptatis. 
On leaves of Myrica cerifera, mixed with an immature Septoria. 
Small, only the rostrate ostiolum piercing the cuticle ; sporidia 
narrowly elliptical, uniseptate, one cell scarcely half as large as 
the other, *01 mm. long. (PI. 96, fig. 24.) No. 2587. 
Asterina cupressina. Coolie. ( Venturia Cupressina, 'Roihm. 
No. 394.) 
Mycelio prope obsoleto ; peritheciis brunneis, membranaceis, 
floccis radiantibus coalitis, subinde 3-6 pilis rigidis obsitis ; ascis 
clavato pyriformibus, stipitatis ; sporidiis uniseptatis, sursum in- 
flatis, globosis, brunneis. 
On leaves of Cupressus thyoides. 
A curious species, but clearly not a Venturia, four or five peri- 
thecia, which are quite smooth, are encountered to each one with 
three or four rigid hairs. When subjected to pressure the peri- 
thecia break up into their component radiating flocci, they are 
almost obsolete (or at least separate readily) at the base. The 
sporidia are coloured, the upper cell broadest, about *018 X *01 
mm. Accompanied by pycnidia in larger perithecia containing 
elliptic brown stylospores, *02 X ‘01 mm. 
The following are imperfect : — 
No. 2586, on hickory. Myriads of exceeding minute sper- 
matia oozing out in yellow tendrils — probably a state of some Valsa. 
No. 2563, on maple — similar, but larger stylospores — with the 
habit of a Valsa. 
No. 2562, on decorticated maple. A Sphceria (Immersce) but 
the asci are imperfect, at present containing only granular plasma. 
No. 2615 is a semi-immersed Sphceria, with broad saccate asci, 
but the sporidia are still unformed, and but indistinctly indicated. 
On pine poles. No. 2615.
