prominent on tlie lower surface of tlie leaf. Oonidia filiform, mostly 
curved, a little thicker at one end, subobtuse, hyaline, multinucleate, be¬ 
coming multiseptate, 35-50 by 2//, erumpent below.and whitening the 
surface of the spots. This differs from the specimen of tSeptoria staehydis 
Rob. in Desm., Plantes Crypt., 1712, in its smaller, darker, more de¬ 
finitely limited spots, and its thicker, multinucleate conidia. 
Stilbospora varneyana n . sp. — On dead twigs. Grounds of the 
Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. 0., September, 1891. 
(Collected byF. W. Anderson, communicated by May Varney.) Acervu- 
li subcutaneous, subtuberculiform-prominent, conidia oblong-elliptical, 
3-septate, not constricted, hyaline at first, soon becoming dark brown 
and opaque, except the terminal cells, which are small and remain sub- 
hyaline, 15-25 by 12-14//. Differs from 8. angustata Pers. in its smaller 
conidia, with the end cells hyaline. 
Tuberculina solanicola n. sp .—On fruit of eggplant. Fla. (C. 
E. Smith.) Acervuli erumpent, tuberculiform, J rani in diameter, at 
first pale, becoming darker when dry, gregarious on pallid spots, l c,u 
in diameter, or by confluence more. Basidia 12-15 by 2-24//, guttulate, 
hyaline, attenuated and slightly curved above. Conidia elliptical, 
2-nucleate, hyaline, 5-7 by 2^-3//. Differs from the other species of this 
genus in not being (so far as yet known) associated with any Uredinous 
fungus. 
FUNGI DESCRIBED IN RECENT REPORTS OF THE CONNECTICUT 
EXPERIMENT STATION. 
By Roland Thaxter. 
In the reports of the Connecticut Station for 1889- ? 91 the writer had 
occasion to publish descriptions of certain new species of fungi which 
it seems desirable to duplicate in a form more permanent and readily 
accessible than that afforded by the somewhat evanescent Experiment 
Station literature, and through the courtesy of the editor of the 
Journal the descriptions in question are appended, with a few 
additional notes.

Spore masses black, in flowers (filling ovary), pedicels, and peduncles (only near 
summit). Spore balls very irregular in size and shape, roundish or long oblong, the 
largest 50-60 by 50, u, the smallest about 25 by 25//. Resting spores brown, spheri¬ 
cal or somewhat polygonal from pressure, one to ten, rarely 14 to 15 in number,

10 in number, somewhat flattened, variable, 8-15// in diameter. On Uypoxijs erecta
