Asterina lepidigenoides, E. A E.—On living leaves of Cap- 
paris Jamaicensis, Jacq. Key West, Florida, May 1880. Coll. 
A. H. Curtis, com. A. Commons. Mycelium obsolete. Porithecia 
hvpopliyllous, scattered, attached to the scales on the leaf, small 
(loO —120 micr.), of rather fine (not radiate) cellular structure, 
pierced above, scutellate. Asci oblong, sessile, 60 x 12 micr., 
mostly broader below. Sporidia biseriate, fusoid, 3-septate 
hyaline, 12— 14 x 2—2J. 
Closely allied to A. lepidigena E. A M. but differs in its smaller 
perithecia, longer asci and 3-septate sporidia. 
Asterina paupercula, E. A E.—On living leaves of Jacquinia 
ar miliar is, L. Southern border of the Everglades, Florida, on 
coral soil. Coll. A. H. Curtis, com. A. Commons, No. 876. 
Epiphyllous. Perithecia scutellate, brownish-black, 90—120 
micr. diam. seated on and surrounded by a thin network of brown, 
branching mycelium. Asci subelliptical, 22 — 25 x 12—15, con¬ 
tracted below into a short stipe-like base, 8-spored. Sporidia 
crowded, fusoid, hyaline, 1-septate, 12—15 x 2. 
Dimerosporium erysipheoides, E. A E.—On dead leaves of 
Cynodon Dactylon , Pers. St. Martinsville, La. Oct. 1888. Lang- 
lois 1492. Amphigenous. Perithecia scattered, astomous, glo¬ 
bose. 100—115 micr. diam., seated on a rather scanty mycelium of 
slender, brown, branching hyphao and surrounded below with 
15—20 short spreading appendages, 30—40 x 3, mostly 1-3-sep¬ 
tate, brown and imperfectly bilobate at their extremities. Asci 
oblong, subsessilc, 35—40 x 12—14, (paraphyses)? Sporidia 
biseriate acutelv-ellipticnl, 1-septate and constricted, each cell 
with a large nucleus, 15—18 x 6—7. With the ascigerous peri¬ 
thecia are many smaller ones (spermogonia)? without appendages 
and containing a few globose, brownish sporules 4—o micr. diam.
