Entyloma Veronicas {Ha 1st.) Lager . 
Living leaves of American speedwell, Veronica Americana. Jor- 
danville. June. 
Peronospora calotheca De By. 
Living leaves of Galium triilorum. Cedarville, Herkimer county. 
June. 
The leaves of badly infested plants have a starved appearance and 
do not attain their usual size, and the plant itself is small and dis¬ 
colored. 
Exoascus Cerasi {Bek/.) Sadeb. 
Living leaves of sweet cherry, Primus Avium. Westbury, Cut- 
chogue, Queens, Floral Park and Flatbush, Long Island. May. 
Stewart. 
Peziza subumbrina Bond. 
Black muck soil in woods. Mechanicville. July. The spores in 
our specimens are binucleate. They are at first smooth, but they 
become verrucose with age. 
Spathularia rugosa n. sp. 
Club compressed, rugose, oblong, obovate or spatulate, some¬ 
times irregular or long decurrent, pale yellowish; stem subequal, 
subterete, often minutely pruinose-tomentose or subvelvety, 
especially toward the base, whitish or pallid; asci clavate, gradually 
tapering below into the very short stem, .003 to .004 in. long, .0004 
to .0005 broad; spores filiform, .0016 to .0024 in. long, about .00008 
broad; paraphyses filiform very slightly thickened at the top and 
more or less curved. 
Growing in circles under or near coniferous trees. Old Forge, 
Herkimer county. August. 
In size and color this fungus is very much like S. Havida Pers., to 
which it was referred as variety rugosa in Report 39, p. 58. 
It differs from that species in its very rugose club, its rather 
shorter spores, its habit of growing in circles and in the less glabrous 
stem. Possibly it may not be distinct from 5 . crispata Fckl., which 
was erroneously referred to >S\ crispata Fr., according to Sylloge. 
The description of Fuckel’s plant is too brief to be satisfactory.
