236 The Philippine Journal of Science 1918 
Hennings’ description of material from Tonkin states that the perithecia 
are 240 to 300 v- in diameter, in the Bornean material they are about 150 
m in diameter; the spores are given as 30 to 36 x 10 to 15 m and in our 
specimens they are 40 to 45 X 15 to 18 y. I have referred this material 
to Meliola jasminicola because comparison with material in the herbarium 
of the Bureau of Science ( Merrill 7469) of a Meliola on Jasminium sambac 
determined by Sydow as M. jasminicola shows the same variation as do 
the Bornean specimens. 
MELIOLA MANGIFERA Earle in Bull. New York Bot. Gard. 9 (1904) 307. 
British North Borneo, Membakut, Yates 111, October 9, 1917, on leaves 
of Mangifera indica. 
Our specimens differ in certain details from the description, but in 
general seem to agree closely enough to be placed here. In our material 
the spots are mostly on the upper surface of the leaves but occur also 
upon the lower surface. The setae are comparatively few and all of one 
sort; they are 500 to 700 y long and the tips are acute. The species was 
originally described from Jamaica and has also been collected in the Phil- 
ippines, Porto Rico, and India.

/. S. 
British North Borneo, Sandakan, Yates 83, October 26, 1917, on leaves 
of Acrostichum aureum; Yates 83a, on Mallotus polyanthus. 
This species was first described on Voacanga globosa from the Philip- 
pines and has since been collected on Psidium guajava, Ixora coccinea, 
Antidesma bunius and Sandoricum indicum. The Borneo specimens ap- 
pear to be referable here though the mycelium is much less dense than 
in the Philippine material. The entire upper leaf surface is covered by 
a black coating which is readily removed as a pellicle. 
CAPNODIUM Montagne 
CAPNODIUM sp. 
Mycelium crustaceous, widely effused and entirely covering the upper 
surface of the leaf, black; hyphae brown, septate, branched, articulations 
varying, but mostly 5 to 10 y long, constricted at the septa, 5 to 8 m in 
diameter, lighter brown filamentous hyphae are also present; pycnidia cy- 
lindric, enlarged at the base, 500 to 700 A long; perithecia numerous, 100 
I* in diameter; no ascospores found. 
British North Borneo, Membakut, Yates 99, October 9, 1917, on leaves 
of Annona. 
Patouillard, in Bull. Soc. Myc. Fr. 20 (1904) 135, has described a 
species of Capnodium ( C . anonae Pat.) on Annona squamosa from Poly- 
nesia, but it appears to differ very considerably from our species. Cap- 
nodium anonae has been reported on leaves of Ficus and Agave from India 
by Sydow and Butler in Ann. Myc. 9 (1911) 384.
