[Von. TV, Nos. 4, 5, 
tliecia hypophyllous, flattened, rugulose, 4—1 mm. in diameter, thickly 
scattered over the part of the leaf occupied, which turns dark brown ; 
sporules oblong, hyaline, 3—5 x 1—14 continuous, borne on densely 
fasciculate basidia 10—12 p long. Found also in Louisiana by Rev. A. E. 
Langlois and at Manhattan, Kansas, by Kellerman & Swingle (No. 
1206). 
Stilbum capillare, E. & E.—Parasitic on Trichia varia, James- 
ville, N. Y., October, 1887. O. F. Cook. Stem capillary, white, smooth, 
i —£ mm. high, 20—25 P- thick, head ovoid, with a slight tinge of flesh 
color, about 75 p in diameter; conidia oblong-elliptical, 3—4 x £ p, 2-nu- 
cleate, hyaline. Outwardly resembling very closely S. aciculosum , E. & 
E., but differs in its smooth stem, smaller, paler head and much larger 
conidia. S. aciculosum has the stem glandular-tomentose and head dis¬ 
tinctly flesh color. 
Ramttlaria Crepidis, E. & E.—On leaves of Crepis glauca, Raton, 
New Mexico, June, 1886. Prof. S. M. Tracy. Amphigenous on orbicular, 
subconcentrically wrinkled, pale spots 4—f cm. in diameter, with a brown 
margin; hyphse csespitose, erect, rigid, nearly straight, subattenuated and 
sparingly toothed above, 25—35 x 4—5 / J -, continuous ; conidia variable, 
acute, elliptical, 12 x 5—6 p, or fusoid, cylindrical or oblong, 20—35 x 5—8 
P, hyaline, Anally 1-septate. The Bamularia occupies the light-colored 
center of the spots, the remaining areas of which are thickly covered 
with small, black, erumpent perithecia which in the specimens seen were 
yet filled with granular matter. 
Pestalozzia microspora, E. & E.—On fallen leaves of Quercus coc- 
cmia, Newfield, N. J., March, 1882. Acervuli amphigenous but more 
abundant below, prominent, black, thickly scattered over the leaf but 
without any definite spots; conidia narrow-elliptical, 3-septate, pale 
brown except the small terminal hyaline cells, colored portion about 
7—9 x 4 p y terminal bristle 10—12 p long, basidia slender, 20—25 p long. 
Quite distinct from P. monochazta, Desm., in its smaller, paler, 3-septate 
conidia and in the absence of any spots. 
Pestalozzia pallida, E. & E.—On fallen leaves of Quercus alba , 
Ohio, June, 1883. Dr. W. A. Kellerman, No. 258. Acervuli mostly 
hypophyllous, scattered without definite spots, erumpent, discoid, 75—150 
p in diameter ; conidia fusoid, 4-septate, the three inner cells yellowish- 
hyaline, the two terminal ones quite hyaline and acute, the upper one 
prolonged into a short (6—9 P) curved bristle; basidia 10—12 p long, some¬ 
times branching below. The septa project or stand out on the body of 
the spore like hoops on a barrel. The conidia are about 3 p thick and 12 
p long between the extreme septa. Well characterized by its pale, banded 
conidia.
