curved, 90-165 x 18-30/a; spores embedded in mucus, overlap¬ 
ping, hyaline, continuous, attenuate at base, clavate-cylindri- 
cal, rarely fusoid-cylindrical, 30-72 x 3-6/a; paraphyses num¬ 
erous, filiform, a little longer than the asci. On leaves of Pinus 
Banksiana. Museoda, Sparta, Millston, Black River Falls, 
Taylor, Gordon. May to July. Lophodermium pinastri 
(Schrad.) Chev. occurs on this host in Wisconsin, on dead, fallen 
leaves, while L. amplum develops on leaves that are, in part, 
living or that are in situ. What relation this bears to the Hy- 
poderma desmazieri Duby reported by Peck as occurring on 
leaves of Pinus rigida in New York I do not know. 
Lophodermium lineare Pk. On Pinus Strobus. Pembine. 
Coccochora rubi sp. nov. Stromata epiphyllous, scat¬ 
tered, black, shining, prominent, suborbicular, subcuticular, 
%-! mm. in diameter; loculi one to several, 45-60/a high, 60-90/* 
wide, opening at the apex; asci cylindrical, more or less curved, 
45-50 x 7-9/*, octosporous; spores brown, clavate-oblong, with a 
single septum which is more or less submedian, not constricted, 
11-15 x 4—6/* ; paraphyses filiform, inconspicuous. On leaves of 
Rubus hispidus, Millston, Wisconsin, August 19, 1915, and July 
19, 1916. Small stromata containing but a single locule are 
subhemispherical, the larger compound ones, which are some¬ 
times circinate, are tuberculate. The adnate clypeus is large 
and merges into the normal cuticle at the edge. This fungus 
suggests Asterina rubicola Ell. & Evht. when seen in the field. 
In the provisional list hosts were not enumerated under Phyl- 
lachora graminis (Pers.) Fckl. In Annates Mycologici 13:436 
et seq. Theissen and Sydow have divided this into a large 
number of species. More knowledge of their biological rela¬ 
tions is needed for a satisfactory classification of the North 
American forms. It may be of service to give some notes of 
measurements of asci and spores taken from Wisconsin speci¬ 
mens. 
Elymus: Asci 66-75 x6-7/a; spores 8-9x4%-6/a. Theissen 
& Sydow take a specimen on this host genus as the type of 
Phyllachora graminis (Pers.) Fckl. with characters with which 
these measurements agree except that the asci of the type are 
thicker (8-10/a). 
Hystrix patula: Asci 66-79 x 6-9/a; spores 8-12 x 5-6/*. This
