Cercospora yulpina, E & K—On living leaves of Vitis vulpina. 
Manhattan, Ks., Sept., 1887. Kellerman & Swingle, 1081. Spots amphi- 
genous, small (1—2 millim.), subangular, mostly limited by the veinlets, 
dark brown above, rather paler beneath; hyphse mostly hypophyllous, 
fasciculate, pale brown (subfuliginous), continuous or with 1—3 faint 
septa, distinctly toothed and abruptly bent above, 50—75 x 3—4 V-; coni- 
dia obclavate, smoky-hyaline, nucleate and finally 2—3-septate, curved, 
45—00 x 3—4 v. This differs essentially from the other viticous species. 
Spiuerella Solidaginea, E. & K.—On dead leaves of Solidago 
Canadensis. Manhattan. (Kellerman & Swingle, 1115.) Perithecia erum- 
pent-superficial, 80—100 !>■ in diameter, subglobose, of rather coarse, 
cellular structure, pierced above, scattered or collect d in groups; asci 
35 x 9—10 ! J -; sporidia biseriate, clavate-oblong, nucleate, slightly con¬ 
stricted near the middle, 20 x 34 V, hyaline. 
Fusarium parasiticum, E. & K.—Parasitic on Puccmia Seymerice , 
Burrill. On 8. macrophylla , Manhattan, Kas., October, 1887. (Keller¬ 
man & Swingle, 1104.) Forming a thin, grayish-white layer on the sori 
of the Puccmia; hyphse short (35 V), much branched above; conidia 
lunate, attenuated and acute at each end, faintly about three-septate, 
20—30 x 3 y. 
Ceratophorum ulmicolum, E. & K.—On living leaves of Ulmus 
fulva. Manhattan, Kas. (Kellerman & Swingle, 1112.) Maculicolous; 
spots amphigenous, suborbicular, dirty-brown, with a small, white center, 
4—1 cm. across, subconfluent; conidia ventricose-fusoid, attenuated be¬ 
low into a subhyaline, subobtuse, sessile base and prolonged above into a 
curved, hyaline beak, swollen, dark olivaceous and 5—7-septate in the 
middle, 60—100 x 11—14 y. The conidia are sessile on a small, tubercular, 
cellular base and form compact tufts, which resemble a Vermicularia. 
The tufts are amphigenous, but perhaps more abundant above and are 
not confluent but thinly scattered over the spots. This is intermediate 
in the size of the conidia between C. helicosporum , Sacc., and C. uncina- 
tum , Clinton, and differs from both of these in its tufted or punctate 
mode of growth, in which it resembles C. epiphyllum , B. & C., which, 
however, has much smaller, multiseptate conidia. The subhyaline 
extremities of the conidia are faintly septate and sometimes one or more 
of the cells in the colored part has a longitudinal septum.

prominent, depressed, conpid apex, which is covered by the blackened
