Cercospora cichorii n. sp. 
Spots suborbicular, light brown to alntaceons to cinereous, 
more or less marked by concentric lines, 2-6 mm. in diameter, 
sometimes confluent; conidiophores mostly epiphyllous in small 
spreading tufts, brown, straight, curved or somewhat flexuose, 
terete or torulose and denticulate, continuous or septate, 20-75 x 
3-6/x; conidia hyaline, obelavate-cylindrical, straight, septate, 
90-150 x 4-6 /a. On leaves of Cichorium Intybus. Madison, 
Wisconsin. September and October. If no Cercospora occurs 
on chicory in Europe one would suspect that this is an Ameri¬ 
can species that has passed over from some related host but if 
so I do not know what it is. 
Entyloma parvum n. sp. 
Sori on the upper portion of the culm, black, linear, about 
y 2 mm. long; spores aggregated, compacted, fuligenous, sub- 
globose or sometimes oval or ovate, smooth, 7-10/x long. On 
Eleocharis acicularis. Plover, Wisconsin, August 1917, Madi¬ 
son, Wisconsin, August 1892, (Cheney) Cambridge, Mass. 1906. 
(Grossenbacher, com. Farlow). This is most nearly allied to 
Entyloma lineatum (Cke.) Davis. 
All collections of Caeoma nitens were tested as to spore ger¬ 
mination in 1917. Of them one, from blackberry in the horti¬ 
cultural garden, developed promycelia and sporidia. This was 
the earliest collection of the season. All the others formed germ 
tubes. Arthur proposed the genus Kunkelia for the short cycled 
form in which the spores germinate as teliospores. ( Bot . Gaz.
