leaves of Allophylus Aitnorensis. 
This Phyllosticta grows on the living leaves, apparently starting near 
the margin or tip and advancing inward and killing the leaf in more or 
less concentric circles. The dead leaf surface is dotted with the small 
black pycnidia.

HADRONEMA ORBICULARE Sydow in Ann. Myc. 7 (1909) 172. 
Luzon, Benguet Subprovince, Bur. Sci. 25166 Yates, March-May, 1916: 
Ifugao Subprovince, Bur. Sci. 25267 Yates, April, 1916. On living leaves 
of Quercus sp. 
This species was originally described from Japanese material where 
it grows on the leaves of Quercus. In 1910 Sydow referred Bur. Sci. 
8711 McGregor to this species. This specimen was collected on Quercus 
at Pauai, Benguet. I found it to be quite common on the leaves of Quercus 
at higher elevations in the Mountain Province in northern Luzon. It is 
interesting as one of the few species known to occur only in Japan and 
the Philippines.
