R. Maire. The author found that the spores are verrucose but 
the cavity not divided, not septate as stated in the description. 
This species therefore is referred to the genus Peckiella. He 
gives the synonomy as follows. Sphaeria lateritia Fr. ; Hy- 
pomyces lateritius Tub; Hyp. vuilleminianus R. Maire; Peck¬ 
iella vuilleminiana Sacc. et Syd.; Sphaeria deformans Lagg.; 
Hypomyces deformans Sacc. Syll. “II est probable qu’un certain 
nombre d’autres Hypomyces devront aussi etre ranges dans le 
genre Peckiella lorque leurs spores auront ete mieux etudiees.” 
Morgan, A. P. 
A. P. Morgan gives in the January No. of the Journal 
of Mycology, 1905, a note on “Sphaeria Calva Tode,” and fur¬

P. L. Ricker in “Notes on Fungi — II, With new species

sp., P. kreageri Ricker, n. sp., P. paradoxica Ricker, n. sp., P. 
piperi Ricker, n. sp., & P. leptospora n. sp. Puccinia actin-

Actinomeris squarrosa but Vebesina occidentalis. See Journal of 
Mycology, May 1905.
