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 <iron|)in<f ol" the jienei-a. in this respect standinn' intermediate between the Saccai'dian system and that adopted l)y Cooke in his ''Synopsis Pyrenomycetum." As a j^nide to the coricet j)roninK'iati(m. the long sound of the accented vowel in generic and si)eeiric names, is indicated by thegiave accent ( ^ ) and the short sound by the acute ( '). The name of the author first jtuldishing any species has been retained, placed in pai'cnthesis in case the species has lieen removed from the genus in wiiich it was lirst placed. The name after the parenthesis has been omitted as too cumbersome and unnecessary. The piratical practice ol' omitting the first name and substituting the second in its place can not be too strongly comlemned. In the case of old anil well known species we have adopted the jmblished diagnoses supplemented with notes, in cases where our ol)servations do not entii-ely agree with the ^dblished characters. The measurements (in centimeters, cm., millimeters, mm., and mici'omillimeters, //,) have all been made with the same optical com- bination and with the same micrometrical scale. They agree gener- ally with those given I)y Saccardo, Kai'sten, and Winter, but are mostly less than those given by Cooke, so that it seems probable that the scale we have used dillers somewhat from his. In the measure- ments of asci, the length of the spore-bearing part (p. sp.) has, in most cases, been given. The illustrations by our much lamented friend, F. W. Andei-son, do credit to his artistic talent, but cause us to legret that a career of such brilliant i)ronuse should end so soon. The figures were made from actual specimens carefully examined and accurately drawn, to show the more salient characters of the genera. The fungi of Greenland, enumerated by Professor Rostrup (see page 32) have been included, as it is proba])lc that most of the species found in that great continental island, will also be met with in the Ill iiortlieni part of Hntisli America and Alaska, and in tlio elevated reu'ioiit^ al(jn.t? tlie Roeky Mountain chain (nrtlier Sontli.

Between the asci arise usually, slench-r, fdilorm lutdies (para[)h-- yscs) whos(! oHice is not well understood. They have liceii suji]»osed to he alxirtivc asci. TIio perithecia are either developed directly from the mycelium, separate and distinct fi'oni each other (simple), or arc more or less im- hcdded in a carnose, coriaceous or carlionaceous substance called the sti'oma (compound). The stroma assumes vaiious foims, ell'used, pul- vinate, tubercular or vertically eIont;ated, cylin Irical or dendroid. Often the stroma consists of the slightly altercil substance of the wood or Itark. 'I'hc surface of the stroma before the devoloi>ment 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.

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.

This external appendaue may Ite smooth and entire, merely constituting a hemisphei'ieal swellin.sr on the mycelial thread, or, it uiay take the form of a Ihittencid disk with an indented marjiin. In the latter case It is said to l»e " lohed," in the former, "not lol)ed." The conidia, or asexual rejtroductive liodies, are cylindrical, oval or nearly orhicular, sim])le, colorless cells fdled with protoplasm. They are I'ormed l>y constriction at the ends ol" sliort, simple, erect, rather stout, sejjtate, colorless hranches of the niycolium, called fertile liyi)ha; or coindio})hores. A sei»tum forms near the end of the young hypha, and the walls at this point become constricted. The ccl' thus cut olf usually swells a little, and at length Aalls away as a matuie conidium. JJcfore this ha])pens, however, other constrictions have taken ))lace below, thus forming a chain of nearly mature conidia adhering end to end. Under favorable conditions they germinate (|uickly, .<<ending out a slender tube, vhich, on the jn-oper host, soon develops into a new u'ycelium. They are jiroduced in innnense num- bers tlii'oughout the growing season, and, as they are very light and easily carried liy t\w wirul, they serve for the rapid increase and wide distribution of the parasite. The perithecium remains on the fallen leaves over winter. It is not provided with a mouth or ostiolum of any kind. The contained asci and sporidia only escape on its decay in the spring. Delicate membranaceous conceptacles, other than the perithecia. are sometimes found in connection with the mycelium of the Erynl- jihcie. They are thin-walled, and, on sliglit pressure, rupture irregu- larly, emitting immense nund)ers of minute, oblong, nucleated spores, immersed in a gelatinous fluid. They were noticed l)y Cesati, in con- nection with the grajic mildew. Sujiposing them to l»e independent organisms, he named them Aiuj)eIomycei< qn/sqvalis, and specimens were published under that name as No. 1609 in Rabenhorst's Herba- I'ium Mycologicum. Later they were iiaWed Cicinobolnn JlorentiiniK by Ehreubcrg, and liyssocysfis textilis by Riess.

This is still the accepted Itclier of many botanists. De Ikry (Morph. and Thys. der l^ilze, 111, }.}). 63-75, TaCeln VI, VI I), shows that the jtycnidia instead ol' being reproductive organs ol' the Erysiphc, are, in reality, the IVuctilication ol'a I'ungus that is jiai-asitic on the Eryslphe. lie calls it CIchiobolus. CemtiL and gives numerous (igures showing its delicate, septate mycelium, develojiing within the mycelial threads of the Eryi<ipfH', and sending up branches which, by repeated division, foi-ni the cellular wall of the pycnidium. There is much confusion in i-egard to the nomenclature of this group. The earlier authors, with poor magnifiers or none at all, made meager descriptions of their supjiosed species, for which I'oason it is often impossililc to determine from Iheii' writings what they had in hand. I Tost jihints ai'e not so nnich of a guide here as in most cases for parasites, though many specific names have been jtroposed, it seems solely upon the ol)served hal)ilat of the fungus.

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.)

Asci oblong-cylindrical, with a short, substipitate base, 60-70 x 10-12 /i. Sporidia Inseriate, oblong, uni- septate, 12-18x4-5 /t. The stroma, as in most other Nectrim, is finally hidden and partially obliterated by the perithecia. Common on Moms and Sassafras, Pennsylvania (Hchweinitz), on Morns, Melia, etc., South Carolina (Ravenol), and on Morns, New Jersey (Ellis). Differs from N. viimaharlna in its concave, scarcely [)rominent stroma, the peculiar roughening of the perithecia, and in its shorter asci, and mostly narrower s|)oridia. N. coccruca has the perithecia nearly smooth, or when tlry, slightly furfui-aceous. 97 ^'. (M'lii'oleiua, (Srliw.) Spliirmt irhiii/riiiii. Schw. S>Mi. N. Am.

These are very noticeal)le in a vertical section even in the young i)lant, while it is still covered with the eonidial layer and before the terminal, suli- <f|ol)ose, ascigerous stroma has begun to appear. In the mature state, the lil)rous inner substance and the horizontal mcndtranes disappear to a greater or less extent, and leave the stroma more or loss hollow, <o that it may be easily crushed with the fingers, but in D. convent rica the inner substance remains firm and is also of a darker color.
