fluent, but with the stromata (pulvinuli) always distinct; perithecia 
larger than usual, not peripheric but scattered through the entire stroma 
even to the base ; external surface granulated, pulverulent, rugose with 
the minute, rather prominent ostiola ; stroma scanty, dirty whitish ; 
clusters of perithecia arranged in a seriate manner so as to bear some 
resemblance to Hebrew letters and seated on a black crust which over¬ 
spreads the bark.” Sporidia sec. Cooke, 12 x 3£ P.

BY J. B. ELLIS AND B. M. EVERHART. 
Septoria Sanicul^e, E. & E.—On living leaves of Sanicula Mar - 
ilandica. Kacine, Wis., November, 1887, Dr. J. J. Davis. Leaf mottled 
with small, irregular, subindefinite, brown spots, enclosing still smaller 
(1—1 millim.), white spots, on each of which are 1—3 minute, black 
perithecia; sporules spiculiform, slightly curved, about 20 x 1 p or less. 
Septoria Nepet^e, E. & E.—On living leaves of Nepeta Cataria. 
Kacine, Wis., June, 1887, Dr. J. J. Davis. Spots purplish-brown, with 
reddish or purplish border, rather irregular in outline, about two millim. 
in diameter, with a white center; perithecia mostly epiphyllous, lenticu¬ 
lar, not very abundant; sporules nearly straight, nucleolate, 30—40 x H p. 
Septoria asclepiadicola, E. & E.—On living leaves of Asclepias 
incarnata. Power’s Lake, Kenosha county, Wis., June, 1887, Dr. J. J. 
Davis. Spots amphigenous, small (1—2 millim.), round, dull white, with 
a narrow, dark, distinctly-raised border, around which the leaf is stained 
purplish-red. The spots are often clustered together, 3—4 lying in con¬ 
tact with a common, raised border surrounding the whole; sporules 
linear-fusoid, nucleate, hyaline, 25—50 x 2—2i p, ends mostly acute and 
one end generally a little thicker. 
Helminthosporium iiadotrichoides, E. & E.—On living but 
partly dead leaves of Erigrostis major. Faulkland, Del., September, 1887, 
A. Commons, No. 347. On elongated, white spots, or on dead tips of the 
leaves, mostly epiphyllous; hyphae loosely tufted, erect, smoky-brown, 
continuous or with 1—2 septa, 30—35 x 6—7 p, the apex swollen so as to 
form a knob like the head of a pestle, 8—12 p in diameter. The hyphoe 
are finally proliferous, the axis of growth being prolonged by one side of 
the swollen head or tip, thus forming a series (2—4) of offsets or steps. 
The conidia are clavate-obovate or clavate-cylindrical, yellowisli-brown.
