or oblong and cylindrical, straight or curved, hyaline 1—3-scp- 
tate 20—35 x 4—7. 
Glceosporium profusum, E, & E.—On living leaves of Corylus 
Americana , Vicksburg, Miss., July ’88. Prof. S. M, Tracy. 
Acervuli scattered hypophyllous large, cirrhi white profuse. 
Spores - eylindric-oblong, granular and 3-septate, 25—30 x 6—7. 
The leaf is mottled with yellow specks above. G. rostratum E. 
& E . is on definite spots and has longer, narrower spores. 
Gloeosporium Violae, B. & Br.— On Viola odorata. Stark* 
ville. Miss., June ’88. Prof, S. M. Tracy. Spots large (1—2 cm.,) 
pallid and finally nearly white, border subindefinite. Spores 
oblong-elliptical, 8—12 x 3—5. Acervuli yellowish, 
Gloeosporium necans, E. & E.—On fronds and stems of Eteris 
aquilina , Newfield, N. J.. June ’88. Amphigenous but mostly 
epiphyllous on dark reddish brown spots on the pinnules of the 
frond. Usually several adjacent or opposite pinnules are 
attacked while those on either side remain green. Soon the 
affected pinnules become brown and dead and as the fungus 
spreads the entire frond is killed and dries up as if scorched 
with fire. The fungus also appears on the stipe on light yellow 
brown elongated (1—1J cm.) spots which partly surround the stipe 
with a broad brownish-black discoloration above and below them. 
Acervuli (on the stipe) erumpent, small, black, often subelon¬ 
gated, becoming yellow—on the pinnules less distinctly erumpent 
and yellowish even at first. Sporules oblong-cylindrical, hyaline, 
obtuse, mostly straight, with 2—3 small nuclei, finally uniseptate, 
12—22 x 4—5. This is quite distinct from G. Eteridis , Hark. 
both in its mode of growth and in its fruit. It is very destructive. 
Pestalozzia pallida, Ell & Martin—On fallen leaves of Quer- 
cus alba , Newfield, N. J. Sent also from Ohio by Prof. W. A. 
Kellerman (1883). Amphigenous. Acervuli subdiscoid 70—150 
micr. diam. Spores fusoid, 3 —4-septate, pale yellowish-hyaline, 
12—15 x 3J—4, with a single oblique bristle 7—9 micr. long at 
the apex and a pedicel about 7 micr. long below. The distance 
between the extreme septa is 10—12 micr. and the septa them¬ 
selves stand out from the body of the spore like hoops on a barrel, 
Pestalozzia tapurtnicola, E. & E.—Parasitic on Taphrina 
coerulescens , on Quercus alba and Q. coccinea, Newfield, N. J. 
Sent also from Louisiana by Rev. A. B. Langlois, No. 
1151. Acervuli amphigenous, minute punctiform, black. 
Spores fusoid-oblong pale brown, 3—4-septate and mostly 
constricted at the septa 16—22 x 6—7 with an oblique bristle 
6—7 micr. long at the tip and borne on short, slender pedicels
