Perithecia included in a semierumpent, tubercular stroma, 
1-2 mm. diam., closely embraced by the ruptured epidermis, or 
arranged in a single or double series 3-5 mm. long and visible 
through longitudinal cracks in the bark, or some of them scattered 
singly. The perithecia are at first white inside and solid but be¬ 
come hollow and dark J-J mm. diam., with a distinct papilliform 
ostiolum; sporules oblong-elliptical, or ovate, 15-22 x 12 n, 
hyaline and continuous at first, then dark brown and uniseptate 
but not constricted. 
Diplodla herbarum (Cda.) Lev. has perithecia simply gre¬ 
garious and must differ from this which has the perithecia mostly 
in a distinct stroma. 
Stagonospora biformis E. & B. — On small, decorticated 
limbs of apple tree. Rooks Co., Kans. March, 1902. (No. 2940.) 
Perithecia scattered or gregarious, at first covered by the 
fibers of the weather-beaten wood, soon bare and superficial, glo¬ 
bose and about J mm. diam. or often compressed, hysteriiform 
J-J mm. long, ostiolum conical or short-cylindrical, sometimes 
compressed as in Lophiostoma. Sporules cylindrical, hyaline, 
narrower in the middle but not visibly septate, ends obtusely 
rounded, 12-15 x 2 i"3 /“• 
S. prominula (B. & C.) and S. mali Delacr. are on leaves of 
apple tree. Both these have sporules of about the same length as 
our species but in the former they are short-clavate and in the 
latter fusoid, besides the much smaller (95 a) perithecia. 
Camarosporium astericolum E. & B. — On dead stems of 
Aster multiflorus, Rooks Co., Kans. June, 1901. (No. 2884.) 
See Fungi Columbiani, 1512. 
Perithecia subcuticular, ovate-globose, \ mm. diam., only the 
apex and papilliform ostiolum projecting, the surface of the stem 
around the ostiolum blackened by the abundantly discharged 
sporules which are oblong or ovate-elliptical, 3-septate and slight¬ 
ly constricted, slightly compressed, brown, 12-15 x 4i"7 one 
or two of the cells divided by a longitudinal septum. 
Septoria munroae E. & B. — On leaves of Munroa squar- 
rosa. Rooks Co., Kans. July 22, 1902. (No. 2980.) 
Perithecia epiphyllous, punctiform, 100 /z diam., rather 
abundant, black, subprominent. Sporules long, slender clavate, 
80-110 x 2^-3 ii, hyaline, with 1-3 septa near the broad end, very 
much resembling the conidia of Cercospora.
