Ill the jirofont state of uiyc!olo,<2;ii'a) kii()wle(l,ii'e, the elaHsiliention and description oi' tlie species of Xortii American Pyrenoniycetes is attended witli many diiliculties; eliiof among whicli is the fact tliat many ol' th(! piililishcd diagnoses are too iinjierfect to enahle one to recotfiii/.e the species, of wliich many ol" the types are either lost or practically inaccessilile. An examination of the Schwcinitzian Herha- riiim, at the Academy of Natural Sciences at rhiladeljihia, reveals the fact that about two hundred of the most valuable sficcies descril»cd in Schweinity/ Synopsis of North American Fungi arc not rei)resented in the lierbfirium at all, and that many of tlie s])eciniens still remaining are too meager or too imjierfcct to be of much service. Coming to the s[)ccics described by Berkeley & Curtis, the case is no better, but, as far as specimens are concerned, even worse, the ty])es being entirely beyond the reach of the ordinary student. Our knowlr^dge of these species is derived from the brief descriptions in Grevillea and the sup])lomentary notes by Dr. M. C. Cooke, who has also examined and determined, l)y coni])arison with the original types, many of the species included in the present work. 'Wo are also indebted to Di-s, Rehin, Winter, and Saccardo for the identilication of many doubtful species; Ijiit al)ove all to the many collectors who have furnished abundant material from all parts oi" the country, thus making it possible to give ail approximately comjjlete synopsis of the North American species of this extensive Order. The names of these contributors ajipear in con- nection with the species they have furnished. The name of Kavcnel is attached to most of the sj)ecies collected by him ami described by Berkeley A: Curtis in Grevillea; and Schweinitz or "'Schw." to his species publisheil in the Synopsis of North American Fungi. 11 Tlio system ol' diissilicittioii iidoptod (as stated elsewhere) is iiiaiidy that of Di'. Winter in liahenhorsfs Enjptnganien Flora ((pioted mostly in this vol. as "Die I'ilze";. Tiie system dillers from that of Saccnrdo in the Syllo^e, mainly in the dift'erent y Profossoi- 'l\ .1.

From the knver jiart, and olten Irom the sides of the itnier surface of the |ierithecium, si)rinment of the peri- thecia is often clothed with a hyphomycetous growth, producing aerial spoies (conidia). Also, accompanying or jjreceding the ascigcrous pci'ithecia, are others (spermogonia or pycnidia) [»roducing in their hymenial cavities sjiore.s (sporules) boi'ne on pedicels and not in asci. The conidia, spci-mogonia and pycnidia are supposed to be gener- icallj'^ connected with the ascigerous perithecia, but this matter is not yet well understood. Dr. Winter, whose svstematic arrangement we have mostlv adopted, divides th*^ Pyrenomycetes into the ibllowing suborders. 1. PERISPORIACE.E. Perithecia with the ostiolum obscure or wanting, coriaceous or brittle-carl »onaceous, opening irregularly, gen- erally without any stroma, but mostly seated on a well developed, superficial mycelium. 2. HVPOCREACE.'E. Perithecia with an ostiolum, and with- the stroma (when present) carnose or membi-anacco-cai'nose, and briglit colored (yellow, red, A'c). 3.

Conidia simple, colorless, cylindrical, oval or ovate, liornc one above the other, on erect, simple, septate, colorless hypha*.

Asci arising from the Itase of the perithecium. delicate, thin-walled, colorless, oblong, oval, ovate or suborbicular, usually i)edicellate, containing 2-8 sporidia, which arc simple, color- less, granular, oblong or oval. The Et't/Htpheie, commoidy known as "white mildews" or " blights," may be easily recognized by the white, dusty or web-like coating they ibrm on the leaves, or other succulent parts of many com- mon plants. They freijuently grow throughout the summer, but usually oidy reach their full development in the fall, when the j)eri- thecia, or little fruit-balls, may be seen by good unaided eyes, scattered over the whitened surface of the leaves. The very abundant mycelium consists of numerous slender, white or colorless, septate threads that branch widely, and extend over the leaf in every direction, freiiuently crossing and interlacing. These threads are usually pressed close to the host, but they do not them- selves enter it. They send out at intervals, however, short, sj)ecial branches called haustoria, that penetrate the epidermal cells, serving for the secure attachment of the fungus, and j)robably also for its* 8 iHtnrisliiiK'iir.

Not appar- ently very frecpient but exceedingly al)undant at times, Mississippi Valley, and probably eastward. This exceedingly interesting species has not been well separated from PodoHphmni Oj'.yncdnthm which occui-s on the same host and to casual observation has nuTbh the same ai)pearance. In our species the tii)s of the I'trge ai)pendages are occasionally forked (once or even slightly twice), which again may have been confusing. But these vagiu', stiff branches are totally unlike the dichotomous divisions of PodoupJuvra, and otliei'wise the s})ecies are very distinct. The tuft of short, interwoven, rudimentary ai)})eiidages, like a dense cluster of short loots, is a very characteristic mai-k. There is still some doubt as to the name. Evidently Enjsiphe JTdJf, Moug. usuallv given as a varietv of ErysipJie adn?ica, (Fi'lc^ Syst. Myc. Ill, p. '245, Wallr. P^lora" Germ. IV, p. 755, A'c.) is a different thing, but Duby's description (Botanicon Gallicum I, j). 869) so Ihr as it goes, is sufficiently correct for our species. Enjslphe Mall, Duby, in Roumeguere's Fungi Galilei Exsiccati is a Sphcu- I'otheva, and seems to be the same as our plant, though the specimen examined was insufficient foi' satisfactory comparison. It is moreover scarcely possible that this host should have a solely American parasite of this kind upon it, hence the preference given in the nomenclature. S. iiiors-iivsp, (Soliw.)
