Gnomcmiella fimbriata (Pers.) Sacc. This was inserted in the 
provisional list because of an immature specimen in the herbar¬ 
ium of the University of Wisconsin which is perhaps of this 
species. It was collected at Osceola by E. Sheldon in 1892. 
Phyllosticta destruens Desm. In writing the provisional list I 
followed Ellis & Everhart (North American Phyllostictas, 40) in 
referring to this species specimens on Prunus virginiana and al¬ 
so on Amelanchier. 'The former has been described under the 
name Phoma virginiana Ell. & Hals. (Journ. My col. 4:8. (1888)) 
the latter as Phyllosticta innumerabilis Pk. (Bull. Torr. Bot. Club. 
36:336 (1909)). Specimens on Amelanchier were distributed 
under the name Phyllosticta destructens Desm. in Fungi Colum- 
biani continued 1447. I have seen no European specimens of 
Ph. destruens Desm. which is said to occur on Celtis as well as 
Prunus and to have epiphyllous pycnidia, but I infer that Mr. 
Ellis had good reason for using that name. Before the list was 
printed I removed Amelanchier as a host of Phyllosticta 
destruens Desm. with the intention of inserting Ph. innumerabilis 
Pk. an intention which I failed to carry out, so that Amelanchier 
as bearing the Phyllosticta appears only in the host index. Mor¬ 
phologically I see no distinction between the fungi on the two 
hosts. 
In the provisional list of parasitic fungi in Wisconsin Pa- 
touillard is given as the author of the binominal Protomyces 
andinus as is done in the Sylloge Fungorum. An examination 
of Patouillard’s paper however shows that it was published as 
Protomyces andinus Lagh. sp. nov. Lagerheim, not Spegazzini, 
collected the type material in Ecuador, not Chili. 
Phyllosticta mulgedii Davis, a name that was proposed in the 
4th supplementary list (No. 709), was omitted from the provi¬ 
sional list. The fungus has not been collected again and is prob¬ 
ably one of the Phomae that have been described as occurring on 
the leaves of Compositae. 
Phyllosticta desmodii Ell. & Evht. This was described ( Journ. 
My col. 5: 146: 1889) from a single small collection in Walworth 
Co. Much better material has been collected at Madison on Des- 
modium canescens. The pycnidia are epiphyllous, brown, sub- 
spherical, 125-160/* in diameter; sporules oblong, often somewhat
