a diam. The hyphae send out moniliform branches above, at a 
large angle. 
Torula sepulta E. & B. — On old pine wood saturated 
with pitch, under side of an old pine board lying on the ground 
and on a pine post below the surface of the ground. Rockport, 
Kans. April and June, 1901. (Nos. 2844 and 2900.) 
Conidia cylindrical, 2-5-septate, constricted at the septa, 10-22 
x 4-5 fi, 4-5-catenulate, arising directly from prostrate sterile 
hypha often at a right angle and forming olive-black, sphaeri- 
aeform tufts about \ mm. diam., thickly scattered and subcon¬ 
fluent. 
Allied to Torula binalis C. & E. and T. sparsa B. & C. the 
latter of which differs in its conidia 7 u diam. 
Stachybotryella n. gen. E. & B. — Differs from Stachy- 
botrys in its paler color, creeping habit and absence of any per¬ 
ceptible basidia, the conidia arising directly from the slightly 
swollen, minutely roughened apex of the fertile hyphae. 
Stachyeotryella repens E. & B. — On living leaves of 
Verbesina virginica. Austin, Texas. Oct. 1900. W. H. 
Long, Jr. 
Hypophyllous; the sterile hyphae creeping along the sides 
of the hairs that clothe the lower face of the leaf and sending 
out at right angles short (20-35x3 u), straight, simple, fertile 
branches which are slightly swollen and roughened with project¬ 
ing points at the tips. Conidia ovate-globose, 4-5 x 3 u, brown, 
sessile on the roughened tips of the fertile hyphae and forming 
a compact cluster or head 15-20 ft in diameter. The hyphae are 
of a yellow-brown, and mostly continuous. 
Cercospora crotonicola E. & B. — On leaves of Croton 
fruticulosus, Austin, Texas. Oct. 1900. W. H. Long, Jr. (No. 
62.) 
Hypophyllous, forming small (i-i^mm.) olivaceous patches 
scattered over the under side of the leaf without any definite 
spots, except that the upper side of the leaf opposite the patches 
of hyphae is sometimes a little darker. Fertile hyphae hyaline, 
filiform, fasciculate, branched above, 100-150 ju long. Conidia 
oblong-cylindrical or clavate-oblong, olivaceous, 1-3 septate, 30-40 
x 6-7 / j .. 
Differs from C. crotonifolia Cke. and C. crotonis E. & E. 
in its hypophyllous growth and the absence of any definite spots. 
Cercospora ratibidae E. & B. — On Ratibida columnaris. 
Rooks Co., Kans. July 19, 1902. (No. 2976.) 
Spots dirty brown with a white center, 2-4 mm. across am- 
phigenous. Hyphae in minute, punctiform tufts, scattered over 
the spots both on the white and on the brown portions, subundu¬ 
late and notched or shouldered above, continuous, yellow-brown,
