VINE DISEASES.

volume, of Septoria Badhami, B. & Br., and Ascochyta^ riifo- 
maculans^ Berk. Our remarks on Phyllosticta Badhami, C., pub- 
lished in Fungi Britannici ” (1st series) as Septoria Badhami, 
and the determination of Septoria Vitis, Lev., as a Phyllosticta, on 
the faith of an original specimen from Leveille, will be found in 
the Journal above alluded to. 
Baron Thiiemen has also fallen into a dilemma with the conidia 
of Sphcerella vitis, Fckh, through not examining Fuckel’s published 
specimens, which evidently he has not done, or he would not have 
copied Fuckel’s faulty figure, from which he has assvmed it to be a 
Septosporium, and called it Septosporimn Fuckelii, Thiim. ; 
whereas it is not a member of that genus at all, but a good 
Cercospora, to which we have applied the name of Cercospora 
ampelina. This author seems to have vague notions of Septos- 
j)orium, according to the evidence of the inaccurate figure. 
Cyphella Curreyi, B. & Br. (1861), certainly has priority of 
Cyphella albo-violascens, Karst, (p. 76), which latter being one of 
the compound names condemned by our author, it is a marvel that 
he did not proceed in a similar manner as on another occasion 
already alluded to. 
According to the description of Diplodia fahceformis, Pass. & 
Thiim. (141), it is technically a Sphceropsis,iov the spores are said 
to be “ non septatis,” which is just the character separating 
Sphceropsis from DipJodia. 
Had the paper on Render sonia, which was published in “ Gior- 
nale Botanico Italiano,’' been consulted, Hendersonia longipes, B. & 
C. (p. 145), would not have been added. 
Under the name of Exosporium Badhami, Awd., Septoria Bad- 
hami is quoted as a synonym, although we do not know that it has 
anything in common with that genus ; the description does not by 
any means apply to Septoria Badhami, B. & Br., which has no 
setulose perithecia, and no brownish two or three septate spores. 
Of Corticium crocicreas, B. & C., it may be said that it is evi- 
dently only a form of Corticium viticola (Schw.), Fr. 
We do not observe Irpex viticola, C. & Pk., in the enumeration, 
nor a form of Discosia artocreas, which occurs in the United 
States on leaves of Vilis cestivalis, in company with the Perono- 
spora. We have before us twenty species, at the least, of fungi on 
the Vine, which find no place in either work. 
Although Pirotta unites Helotium hyalopns, Fckl., with Helo- 
tium vitigenum. Not., Thiiemen keeps them separate as distinct 
species. From a comparison of Fuckel’s specimens with those 
published by Saccardo, w'e are convinced that they are undoubtedly 
the same. In fact, there is a peculiarity in the sporidia which is to 
be observed in both specimens, and leaves no room for doubt as to 
their identity. 
Cladosporium ampelinum. Pass. (p. 170), is acknowledged to be 
the same as Relminthosporinm Vitis, Pirotta, and Cercospora Vitis, 
Sacc. ; and Pirotta has also included Graphium clavisporum, B. &
