(Continued from page 46.) 
Septoria Tiialtctri, E. & E.—On Thalictrum purpurascens , Manhat¬ 
tan, Ks., June,1887. Kellerman& Swingle, No. 1188. Spots amphigenous, 
scattered, suborbicular, dull purplish-brown, becoming dirty white with a 
dark margin, 2—4 mm. diam.; perithecia very minute, innate, scattered, 
pale (about the same color as the dirty white center of the spots) and only 
seen by holding the leaf between the eye and the light; sporules filiform, 
continuous, nearly straight, 35—55 x 1—H 1 1 (*). This may be generically 
connected with Spherella Thalictri , E. & E. 
Phleospora Caricis, E. & E.—On living leaves of Carex angustata, 
Faulkland, Del., October, 1886. A. Commons, No. 446. On round, dirty 
white spots, 1—2 mm. in diameter, around which the leaf is stained 
rusty brown; perithecia sunk in the substance of the leaf and visible on 
both sides, rudimentary, small, black, one or several on a spot; sporules 
fusoid-oblong, hyaline, 4—7-septate, 40—60 x 12—14 /'-. Found also at 
Columbia, Mo., on leaves of Cyperus by Howard Dorsett, No. 24 (in part). 
In the Missouri specimens, the spots are wanting, the leaf being entirely 
dead, but there is no other difference. On the same leaves [Cyperus) was 
also found Septoria lineolata , Sacc. & Speg., sporules 50—80 x 2 /■*, nucle¬ 
ate and finally 4—6-septate. Evidently the same as Saccardo’s specimens 
in M. V., though in his the sporules show no septa. What answers accu¬ 
rately to the description of Ascocliyta teretiuscula, Sacc. & Roum., also 
occupied on the ^ame leaves. 
Coniothyrium SALVUCOLUM, E. & E.—On old bleached and decor¬ 
ticated stems of Salvia officinalis , Newfield, N. J., May, 1884. Perithecia 
* An examination of part of original specimens in our possession shows that the 
spores are mostly 38—48 x 1)4—2 and that they are sometimes faintly 1-septate 
(Kellerman & Swingle).
