Cercospora texensis, Ell. Galloway.—On leaves of Frax- 
inusviridis , Brazos Co., Texas, coll, by Prof. LeBrunk, com. 
B. T. Galloway. Spots ampliigenous, small (I—2 mm.), whitish 
witli a purplish border, abundant. Hyphae ampliigenous, loosely 
fasciculate, 5—20 in a tuft, spreading, brown, continuous or 
faintly 2-3-septate, subequal, nearly straight, shouldered and 
denticulate above, subtruncate at the apex, 35—50 x 4. Conidia 
slender about 2J micr. thick at the base, narrowed and almost 
filiform above, faintly septate, 70—110 micr. long. On some ol 
the leaves were larger (J— 1 cm.), irregular, brown spots also 
bearing the fungus. These larger spots were marginal or near 
the margin. This differs from C . fraxinites. E. & E. in its longer, 
coarser and more spreading and fewer hyphae and its much 
longer conidia and also in the different character of the spots. 
Cercospora Mali, E. & E.—On living leaves of Pyrus rnalus. 
St. Martinsville, La., July, 1888, Bev. A. B. Langlois, 1373. 
Epiphyllous on gray round spots 2—3 mm. across with a dull 
red border. Hyphae short, brown, continuous, shouldered and 
toothed above, 15—20 x 2 h —3 densely tufted, appearing like 
minute black specks on the gray surface of the spot. Conidia 
slender nearly straight, yellowish-hyaline, 4-5-septate 60—70 x 
2—2J. Quite distinct from G. Pyri Farlow which is hypophyl- 
lous and much coarser. 
Stilbum sebaceum, E. & E.—Parasitic on old Stereum Spud- 
iceum, Newfield, N. J., June ’88. White, gregarious, short (Jmm.), 
Stem 40—50 thick, of loose fibrous texture, white tomentose 
pubescent. Head obovate or subglobose, 150—200 diam. white, 
then flesh-colored, composed of much branched sporophores bear¬ 
ing at their tips the subglobose or slightly elliptical conidia, 4— 
5 micr. diam. hyaline, mostly with a single nucleus. These conidia 
form a conglutinated mass mostly flattened above and by its 
weight often bending down the stem so as to appear sessile, or 
often 2 or 3 heads of conidia are confluent forming a flesh colored 
mass 1 mm. diam. and much resembling the conglutinated masses 
of spores discharged by some species of Gloeosporium. There 
was also a Penicillium (P, Hypomycetis Sacc.) on most of the 
specimens. 
STrikmuM coprogenum, E. & E.—On dung of some animal 
(Raccoon)? in swampy woods. Newfield, N. J., Sept. 1887. 
Stem 5—6 mm. high and J—J mm. thick, quite tough, reddish- 
brown below, lighter above, subequal. Head yellowish white, 
clavate, 1J mm. long, dusted over with the short elliptical or
