On Lycoperdon gigantciim. 
Specimens examined: Kansas, Bartholomeiv (type). 
6. Oospora Arthuri nom. nov. 
Monilia Candida Bon. Handb. Mykol. 76. 1851. 
Tufted, confluent, white to yellow-white; mycelium well devel- 
oped, branched, septate ; sporophores erect, simple or branched, 
bearing the chains of spores ; spores globose to ovoid, 5-8 /x. 
On mucor culture. 
Specimens ex.\mined: Indiana, Arthur. 
The type specimen grew on decayed wood. The specimen 
determined as this species agrees well with the original description. 
It is regretted that the transfer of this species from one genus 
to another necessitates a new name. There is already an Oospora 
Candida. 
7. Oospora Martinii (Ellis & Sacc.) 
Monilia Martinii Ellis & Sacc. Michelia 2: 376. 1880. 
Effused or pulvinate, white with slight rosy tinge ; mycelium 
creeping, scanty, septate ; sporophores erect, septate, simple or 
branched ; spores concatenate, globose or subglobose, irregular, 
colored, 10-14 ju. 
On decayed rachis of Zea Mays. 
Specimens examined: Pennsylvania, Martin; Ohio, Fungi 
Columb. 1358. 
Monilia sitopliila (]\Iont.) Sacc. is said to be different in color 
and in the obtuse ends of the spores. 
Doubtful Species 
Monilia Peckiana Sacc. & Vogl. Syll. Fung. 4: 34. 1886. On 
Vacciniuni pennsylvaniciini. This is said to be near Oospora 
Linhartiana. 
Oosporoidea gen. nov. 
Mycelium scarcely differing from the sporophores, interwoven, 
crustaceous; the sporiferous hyphae breaking up into spores (?) 
or forming erect or suberect sporophores with hyaline or bright- 
colored concatenate spores. 
Type species, Oidinnt Lactis Fres.
