Cytispora pallida E. & E.— (Neocytispora pallida E. & E. 
in Herb.). On dead fallen limbs of Quercus tinctoria. New- 
field, N. J. Nov.-April, 1901-2. 
Stroma membranaceuos, pallid-white and at first white-pul¬ 
verulent, convex, 2-4 mm. diam., erumpent. loosely embraced by 
the ruptured epidermis, soon irregularly perforated above, mul- 
tilocular, cells subovate; sporules numerous, allantoid, hyaline, 
4-5x1 y, borne on dendroidly branched basidia, 40x1-J-2 y. 
This differs from the usual type of Cytispora but the essential 
characters are those of that genus. The specimens were found 
associated with Polyporus pocula (Schw.) Cke. with which it 
may be generically connected. 
Coniothyrium junci E. & E.— On Juncus balticus (dead 
scapes). Andrews, Oregon. Aug., 1901. Griffiths & Morris. 
Perithecia scattered, imperfect, subcuticular, about \ mm. 
diam., visible through the thin cuticle as minute, black circles with 
a white spot in the center. Sporules globose, olivaceous, \\-2 y. 
diam., borne on fasciculate basidia. Simple or branched from 
the base, 12-15x2 y. 
On account of the imperfectly developed perithecia, this ap¬ 
proaches the Melanconiaceae. 
Diplodia ivaicola E. & E.— On dead stems of Iva xanthi- 
folia. Aberdeen, South Dakota. April, 1896. David Griffiths. 
Perithecia scattered; 150-200 y diam., subcuticular, raising 
the epidermis into small pustules which are pierced above by the 
papilliform osteolum which is soon perforated. Sporules oblong 
or oblong-elliptical, uniseptate, scarcely constricted, 10-16x6-7 y 
yellowish-brown, obtuse at the ends. 
Ascochyta smilacis E. & E.— On living leaves of Smilax 
hispida. Yates, N. Y. (Fairman, 1512.) 
Spots small (1-4 mm.), of irregular shape, dirty-white with 
a brown border or situated in a large brown space 1-2 cm. diam. 
Perithecia scattered over the spots, epiphyllous but mostly visible 
on both sides of the leaf, punctiform, black. Sporules elliptical, 
obtuse, smoky-hyaline, uniseptate but not constricted, 6-8 x 4 a. 
This differs from the Ascochyta mentioned in the description 
of Phyllosticta smilacis E. & M. (in the North American Phyllos- 
tictas) in its smaller, smoky sporules. 
Septoria spiculispora E. & E. — On leaves of Euonymus, 
Delaware (Commons). 
Spots orbicular, 1-3 mm. diam., white with a purple margin; 
perithecia semiimmersed, epiphyllous, black, subglobose, 100-110 
y diam. Sporules spiculiform, continuous, i5-20xf-i y. 
S. eunonymella Pass, and S. euonymi-japonici Pass. Both 
have sporules 2\ y thick. S. enonymi Rabh. has spots scarcely 
margined, perithecia lenticular and sporules ij y thick. This 
was issued in N. A. F. 2675 as Phyllosticta euonymi Sacc.
