6 Preface. he present paper deals with the Micromycetes found on fragments T of plants from Svalbard (Spitsbergen and Bear Island). As I have not visited the islands myself the investigation is based exclusively on the dried plant material brought home by other investigators and now to be found in the herbaria at Oslo and Copenhagen. I am greatly indebted to Dr. BERNT LYNGE, and Mr. C. CHRISTENSEN, M. A., Museum Inspectors, of Oslo and Copenhagen respectively, for the very great kindness with which they have placed their rich collections at my disposal. There are also in the Swedish museums large collections of plants from Svalbard, and I am grateful for the promise of permission to borrow them also, but it would be an insurmountable task for me to go through a greater amount of material than that I have already seen. Meanwhile, Professor O. juel of Uppsala has been good enough to lend me a small collection of 150 specimens, which the late C. I. JOHANSON had picked out from the herbaria for this very purpose. The plants which I have seen were collected during the course of a century, and I give below a list of the names of the expeditions and the collectors The Norwegian geologist, B. M. KEILHAU, made a voyage to Svalbard. He visited Bear Island from Aug. 20th to 23rd, 1827, explored the land near Sorkapp on Sept. 3rd, and Edge Island from Sept. 11 th to 19th the same year. I have found 19 species of fungi on his plants, and it is remarkable how well preserved and unchanged these micromycetes have kept during all these years French Government's expedition in "La Recherche". JENS V AHL, a Dane, was a botanist of that expedition and made collections in July-August 1838 in Bell Sound, in July 1839 at Bear Island, and in August 1839 at Magdalena Bay. In his abundant collections I have found 80 fungi Swedish expedition under the leadership of QTTO TORELL. In the plants collected by A. E. NORDENSKIOLD I have seen 3 species of fungi, esp. Entyloma on Dupontia Fisheri Swedish expedition led by QTTO TORELL. 7 fungi collected by A. GOEs and 4 fungi by K. CHYDENIUS Swedish expedition led by A. E. NORDENSKIOLD. 37 fungi by A. j. MALMGREN; of these fungi a number were collected on the expedition of 1861, of which MALMGREN also was a member.
7 6 J. L1ND Swedish expedition led by A. E. NORDENsKloLD. 169 fungi by TH. M. FRIEs Voyage to Spitsbergen undertaken by two Swedes, HJ. WILANDER and A. G. NATHORST. They found 21 fungi Swedish wintering expedition led by A. E. NORDENsKloLD. 40 fungi by F. R. KJELLMAN and 1 fungus by P. o BI<JR G The Norwegian North Atlantic Expedition led by G. O. SARS and H. MOHN. 39 fungi collected by D. C. DANIELssEN Swedish expedition led by A. G. NATHoRsT and G. DE GEER. NATHoRsT collected a rich material of plants and several of these were taken for the sake of the parasitical fungi. I have found 156 fungi on NATHORST'S plants Swedish meteorological wintering expedition led by N. EKHOLM fungi by A. THoREN fungi from Cape Thordsen by R. GYLLENCREUTZ Swedish expedition led by G. NORDENsKIOLD. 2 fungi by j. A. BJORLlNG The Norwegian botanist, E. J0RGENSEN, made a voyage to Spitsbergen and collected many plants, on which I have found 60 fungi Swedish expedition led by A. G. NATHORST. 16 fungi by GUNNAR ANDERSSON and HENRIK HESSELMAN Swedish arc measurement expedition led by E. JADERIN. During this expedition THoRILD WULFF visited Wijde Bay and Treurenberg Bay in July and August and collected 105 fungi Expedition fitted out by PRINCE ALBERT i of Monaco, and led by Captein G. ISAcHsEN. Mrs. HANNA RESVOLL -HOLMSEN (DIESET) took part in this expedition as a botanist Mrs. RESVOLL-HoLMSEN undertook a voyage to Spitsbergen in order to study the flora of the archipelago. In Mrs. RESVOLL-HoLMSEN'S excellent material from these two years i have found 790 fungi; several of the plants were collected just because they were attacked by fungi Expedition under the patronage of PRINCE ALBERT I of Monaco and led by HERMAN STOLL a Swiss. The botanist was R. SEEGER from Innsbruch, who gathered one fungus Swedish geological expedition led by ERIK ANDERssoN (now STENSIO). 133 fungi by ERIK ASPLUND Norwegian Government's expedition led by ADoLF HOEL. 16 fungi by ERIK STORM Norwegian Government's expedition led by ADOLF HOEL. Botanist was JOHANNES LID, who collected 434 fungi. A member of this expediton, KNUT ELLlNGSEN, gathered 8 fungi Norwegian Government's expedition led by ADOLF HOEL. The botanist, JOHANNES LID, collected 638 fungi. OVE H0EG, a member of this expedition, collected 10 fungi. The large collections from these two last-mentioned expeditions comprise very fine material on which I found many microfungi not hitherto found on Svalbard. A great many plants were collected by Mr. LID solely on account of their being attacked by fungi Norwegian Government's fishery expedition led by THoR iversen. 22 fungi from Hope Island by the leader and Mr. EINAR KOEFOED Norwegian geological expedition led by TH. VOGT. 95 fungi collected by FRIDTJOV ISAcHsEN.
8 THE MICROMYCETES OF SVALBARD 7 It is rather surprising to see that a bout 2900 fungi could be found on about 4000 dried plants, of which by far the greater part had not been collected for the sake of the fungi. It shows, in the first place, how quickly every withered, or even only half-withered, leaf is attacked by micromycetes in Arctic regions. It also shows that every single species of microfungi can be found on many different host-plants. Most flowering plants are attacked by numerous micromycetes (see the hostplant index p. 41) and every species of fungi is found on many hostplants. As a matter of fact, it is only of late years that collectors have. paid any attention to the numerous micromycetes found on dead leaves; besides A. G. NATHORST and THORILD WULFF, Mrs. HANNA RESVOLL HOLMSEN and Mr. JoHANNEs LID have especially done so. Mrs. RESVOLL HOLMSEN writes about the parasitic fungi (1913, p. 80): "Sur ce point, j'ai de volumineux materiaux, qui ne sont pas encore traites". These words contain a request (to myself) which I have only now had an opportunity of acting upon to the best of my ability.
9 Chapter I. Earlier Accounts of Micromycetes from Svalbard. The plants that KEILHAU brought back to Norway in 1827 were dealt with by S0REN CHRISTIAN SOMMERFELT, who (1833) mentions three species of Agaricaceae and "Sphaeria herbarum" on Cerastium and Stellaria. The plants brought home by JENS VAHL in 1839 were dealt with by A. E. LINDBLOM (Botaniska Notiser 1839), the Sphaeria punctiformis being the only micromycet mentioned by him. In both of these cases the name given can almost certainly be regarded as one given in common to all the small black punctiform fungi. On the other hand, the collections made by the Swedish expeditions from 1861 to 1868, and especially the plants collected by TH. M. FRIES, were very thoroughly examined at Mustiala by P. A. KARSTEN, who wrote an excellent report on them in 1871 (printed 1872) in which he mentions 62 species of fungi. Twenty-three of these belong to the larger fungi and 39 to the micromycetes, and, of the latter, five are parasites and the rest saprofytes. It is one of the very earliest works we possess on Arctic fungi, and we must admire KARSTEN'S good descriptions of the species found. All later naturalists who have carried on researches in this field have benefited by KARSTEN'S work. Some years later (1884) KARSTEN returned to the same subject and made some additions and corrections. With a single exception I have succeeded in finding anew all the micromycetes mentioned by KARSTEN and give below a list of those demanding special mention: No. 23 Mollisia Dehnii is erroneously so named, should be Mollisia atrata. No. 24 Mollisia advena now Niptera advena. KARSTEN mentions it both on Eriophorum and Luzula, the later form is certainly Naevia pusilla. No. 26 Trochila diminuens now N aevia diminuens. No. 27 Duplicaria Empetri now Rhytisma Empetri. No. 28 Lophodermium culmigenum now Loph. arundinaceum. No. 30 Clathrospora alpina now Clath. Elynae. No. 31 Pleospora arctica now Pleosp. Karstenii.
10 THE MICROMYCETES OF SVALBARD 9 No. 32 Pleospora herbarum seems to be a compound of many species, which is clearly shown by KARSTEN'S text, his measurements being very variable, and he describes the perithecia as being both smooth and hairy. In the correcting supplement, however, (1884 p. 37 and p. 38) he writes that most of the specimens to which he gave the name of Pleospora herbarum in 1872 are to be understood as Pyrenophora chrysospora, and he concludes with the rather surprising statement that "Pleospora herbarum et Pyrenophora Androsaces ex insulis Spetsbergensibus nondum sunt cognitae". Pleospora herbarum subsp. pentamera is now. Nos. 35, 36, 37 are to be united in a single species, see below Leptosphaeria caricinella. No. 42 Sphaeria hyperborea now Didymella hyperborea. No. 43 Isothea rhytismoides now HypospiJa rhytismoides. No. 44 Sphaerella eucarpa now Massaria eucarpa. No. 45 Sphaerella genuflexa subsp. polaris now Mycosphaerella polaris. No. 46 Sphaerella Andromedae now Leptosphaeria Andromedae. Nos Sphaerella Cerastii, Sph. Stellarinearum and Sph. Tassiana should doubtless all be united in one species, see p. 37. That Cladosporium graminum - as KARSTEN thinks - should be connected with this species has not yet been proved. No. 55 Sphaerella distincta has later by KARSTEN himself been named Lizonia. No. 59 Leptostroma Potentillae now Leptothyrium arcticum. No. 61 U stijago Candollei now U stiiago inflorescentiae. In the supplement which KARSTEN published later (1884) he mentions having found 8 species on the same plants from Svalbard, of these Pyrenophora chrysospora f. polaris is identical with Pyren. Cerastii, Septoria caudata is now Heteropatella umbilicata and Helminthosporium flexuosum is certainly Cladosporium graminum. Since KARSTEN'S time very little has appeared about the Micromycetes of Svalbard. The "Zweite deutsche Nordpolarexpedition" visited Spitsbergen in the year 1870 and FUCKEL mentions (1874 p. 323 and p. 322) two species as having been found here viz., Sphaeria arctica now and Pleospora hyperborea now Leptosphaeria Andromedae that is, only two of KARSTEN'S species with other names. PAX (1892 p. 73) mentions only Lycoperdon furfuraceum Schaeff and on old leaves of Dryas some Pyrenomycet "bereits verrottet". THORILD WULFF has in company with E. ROSTRUP published a list (1902 p. 115) of 9 species of micromycetes collected by himself in 1899.
11 10 J. LIND At last a few samples of Mrs. HANNA RESVOLL-HoLMSEN'S collections were sent to me, and were reported (1913 p. 80), and finally it should be mentioned that j. 1. LlRo, on going through the herbaria, has noted the presence of some Ustilagineae (1924), viz., Ustilago nivalis Liro and U stilago violacea. Taking them all together we have hitherto noticed about 45 species of micromycetes from Svalbard, and this number has now in the present paper increased to 197 species. From the foregoing brief historical survey it will also be seen that Finlanders, Swedes, Norwegians and Danes have all greatly helped one other, both with collections and with their treatment of the material. There has been excellent collaboration between the scientists of all the four nations.
12 Chapter H. Enumeration of Micromycetes from Svalbard. C hytridiaceae. Synchytrium groenlandicum ALLEscHER 1897 p. 40. On Saxifraga cernua, Coles Bay. Saxifraga rivularis, Sorkapplandet. Always found on all the leaves of the attacked plants, so undoubtedly its mycelium quite penetrates the host-plant or single branches. It is often found as thick swellings on the leaf-stalk or on the margin of the leaves. Peronosporaceae. Peronospora Alsinearum CASPARY Syll. VII p On Cerastium nigrescens, Advent Bay (LID). Peronospora parasitica (FRIES) TULASNE. Syll. VII p On Cochlearia officinalis, Sorkapplandet and Oyrnes. Draba alpina, Sassen Bay. Discomycetes. Lachnea stercorea (FRIES) GILL., Syl1.

Belonioscypha vexata (DE NOT.) REHM, Syn. Belodinium vexatum DE NOT. Syll. VIII p.503. On Carex pulla, Advent Bay (H. REsvoLL-HoLMsEN). Never before found in Arctic regions. Phialea rhodoleuca FRIES S. M. II p. 217, Syll. VIII p On Equisetum variegatum, Cape Boheman (LID). Equisetum arvense, Longyear Valley (LID). Mollisia atrata (FRIES) KARSTEN, Syn. Pyrenopeziza atrata (PERS.) FUCKEL, Syll. VIII p. 354, Trochila Potentillae ROSTRUP 1888 p Common on Potentilla emarginata, Pot. multifida, Pot. nivea and especially on Pot. pulchella from all localities in which Potentilla is collected. It is quite evidently the same species as that which KARSTEN saw on Pontentilla and classified ( 1872 p. 95) as Mollisia Dehnii.
13 12 J. LIND And it is, further, the same species that ROSTRUP I. c. has described from Greenland as Trochila Potentillae and mentioned often from Arctic regions in his papers from 1888 to 1894, but later on he mentions it only as Mollisia atrata. Mollisia graminea KARSTEN 1871 p. 198, Syll. VIII p On Eriophorum Scheuchzeri, Erioph. polystachyum, Luzula confusa, Deschampsia alpina from Spitsbergen and Bear Island. Mollisia graminis (DESM.) KARSTEN, Hedwigia 32, 1893 p. 60. On Alopecurus alpinus, Deschampsia alpina, Poa abbreviata and Poa arctica from Bell Sound, Green Harbour and Cape Boheman. It is not quite the same species as that which REHM (1896 p. 1265) has described as Beloniella graminis. I have in accordance with KARSTEN found the asci I). x 9-10 I). and the spores I). x 4 fl. Helotium herbarum FRIES, Syll. VIII p On Poa alpigena, Wijde Bay (THORILD WULFF). Poa alpigena x alpina, Olsokflyan (E. STORM). Stellaria humifusa, Advent Bay (TH. M. FRIES). Cerastium Regelii, Sorkapplandet (LID). Niptera advena (KARSTEN) LIND, Syn. Mollisia advena KARSTEN 1872 p. 95, Syll. VIII p.352. See PI. I Fig. 3. Common on Eriophorum polystachyum in Ice Fjord and on Festuca rubra, Cross Bay (H. REsvoLL-HoLMsEN). KARSTEN has also reported it on Eriophorum from Ice Fjord. With its elongated, fusiform or scarcely clavate spores, pointed at both ends and clustered together in the asci, it is a true Niptera and widely different from Niptera melatephra (LAscH) REHM, Niptera Eriophori (KIRCHNER) REHM apud VESTERGREN 1909 p. 53 and Niptera cymbispora (ROSTRUP), Niptera caricinella PECK and Niptera arctica REHM, which are all to be found in Arctic regions on dead leaves of Cyperaceae and Juncaceae. Its spores measure longitudinally with 2-3 septa. Niptera phaea REHM, Syll. VIII p On Carex misandra, Kings Bay (H. REsvoLL-HoLMsEN). Carex subspathacea, Advent Point (AsPLuND) and Bell Sound (LID). Belonidium juncisedum (KARSTEN) REHM, Syn. Mollisia junc. KARSTEN 1871 I p. 198, Syll. VIII p. 347 and?mollisia scirpina (PECK) SACC., Syll. VIII p On J uncus castaneus, Longyear Valley (LID). J uncus biglumis Bell Sound (LID). A peculiar species with characteristic short and wide asci, sporidia filiform and clustered. Possibly this is the same species as that from Adirondack U. S. A. of which PECK has given a very incomplete description. Pseudopeziza Bistortae ( FRIES) FUCKEL. Syll. VIII p.723, Syn. Rhytisma Bistortae LIBERT, Ectostroma Bistortae FRIES S. M. II p. 602, Pseudorhytisma Bistortae JUEL.
14 THE MICROM YCETES OF SV ALBARD 13 On leaves of Polygonum viviparum, Cape Thordsen (H. RESVOLL HOLMsEN), Dickson Bay (LID), Tempel Bay (NATHORST). Fabraea Cerastiorum (FRIES) REHM, Syn. Pseudopeziza Cerast. FUCKEL, Syll. VIII p On Cerastium alpinum, Advent Bay (DANIELSSEN). Pyrenopeziza Svalbardensis spec. nov., see PI. III Figs. 19 and 20. Apotheciis epiphyllis in foliis nigricantibus innatis, de in erumpentibus, orbicularibus, c. 400 p. diam., disco nigrofuscescente margine nigricante cincto, ascis cylindraceo-clavatis 60 ij. x 6-7 :l., octosporis; lod +, paraphysibus hyalinis ad crassatis; sporidiis distichis, oblongoclavatis, curvulis, apice rotundatis, l-septatis, non constrictis, hyalinis, guttulatis, x 4 ll.. Subiculo late effuso ex hyphis ramosis, septatis, 6 fl latis, nigrofuscis. In foliis semivivis Saxifragae hirculis, Advent Bay 5th August 1924 leg. JOHANNES LID, nec non in foliis denigratis Drabae Wahlenbergii, Cape Boheman et Ny Alesund 28th August 1920 (LID). The mycelium of this fungus penetrates all the radical leaves of the same plant, sometimes also the upper ones and the root entirely, all the leaves of the same plant being attacked, the leaves at last becoming black and brittle and quite porous like charcoal. An excellent species, externally very closely resembling various other species of Pyrenopeziza e. g. Pyrenop. nigrificans, differing from them, however, by its uni-septate, clavate spores. Orbilia Primulae (REHM) SACC. Syll. VIII p On Taraxacum arcticum, Green Harbour (LID). Patellaria macrospora (FuCKEL) PHILL., Syn. Durella compressa (PERS.) TuL. Syll. VIII p On floating timber, Bear Island (TH. M. FRIES). Crumenula pllsiola KARSTEN 1871 I p. 214 and 1872 p. 96, Syn. Godronia pusiola KARSTEN 1885 p. 144, Syll. VIII p Collected on Dupontia Fisheri, Poa alpigena, Poa alpina, Poa alpina > arctica, Poa arctica, Poa Balfourii. Puccinellia Vahliana and Trisetum spicatum from Sorkapplandet up to Treurenberg Bay. KARSTEN has recorded it on Poa alpigena from many localities. An excellent species having small urceolate cups and the external cells of the ascomata prosenchymatic elongated as typical of the genera Crumenula and Godronia. It is mainly confined to withered, prematurely killed leaves of Poa especially Poa arctica; on other hostplants it is very rare. And it is undoubtedly more common on such dead leaves of Poa than has hitherto been recorded. The fact is that the said species is to be found in the herbaria from several places under erroneous names. I have, for instance, classified specimens of this species from N ovaya Zemlya (1924 b p. 7) as Beloniella graminis,
15 14 J. LIND and E. ROSTRUP has similarly included specimens from Greenland under the name of Mollisia graminis. Helotiella erythrostigma (REHM) SACC., Syll. VIII p.476, Syn. Mollisia eryth. REHM apud Voss 1887 p. 225, Calloria erythrostigmoides REHM 1896 p On Cerastium alpinum it is common from many localities on the western coast of Spitsbergen. On Cerastium nigrescens and Cerastium Regelii it is only found at Bear Island, Sorkapplandet and Norskoyane. The mycelium penetrates the stem and the leaves of the host giving them a characteristic pale scarlet colour. Naevia diminuens (KARSTEN) REHM, Syn. Phacidium dimin. KARSTEN 1885, Syll. VIII p. 721, Trochila dimin. KARSTEN 1871 I p. 248 and 1872 p. 96. On Col podium fulvum, Deschampsia alpina, Dupontia Fisheri, Festuca ovina, Festuca rubra, Puccinellia Vahliana, Carex glareosa, Carex Lachenalii, Carex pulla, Carex rigida, Carex rupestris, Carex subspathacea and Carex ursina in many different localities on Spitsbergen as well as on Bear Island. Recorded by KARSTEN as found on Hierochloe alpina and Carex glareosa, Carex Lachenalii and Carex ursina from Green Harbour, Advent Bay and Liefde Bay. As KARSTEN further mentions it as found on Luzula confusa and does not mention Naevia pusilla, he has evidently united both these species, which are certainly closely related. Furthermore, the species in question is closely allied to Naevia ignobilis (Karsten) which is also found on dead leaves of Carex and in the same localities. It is very difficult to say whether the subtile differences proposed by KARSTEN (1871 I), REHM (1896 p. 142) and SCHROETER (1908 p. 151) to separate these species, are really constant. It can only be decided by a monographic treatment of the whole of this difficult genus. Naevia diminuens (KARSTEN) REHM forma prominens KARSTEN 1872 p. 96, Syll. VIII p Common on dead leaves of Alopecurus alpinus, Calamagrostis neglecta, Catabrosa algida, Hierochloe alpina, Poa alpigena, Poa alpina and Poa arctica from Hope Island and all localities visited on the west and north coast of Spitsbergen. KARSTEN has originally described the same form on Alopecurus alpinus from Green Harbour (TH. M. FRIES). The ascomata are black and convex, externaliy not to be distinguished from Lophodermium except by the elongated ostiolum of the latter; asci clavate fl x , spores fl x It is a well-marked form, and it is a debatable point whether it is not rather an independent species. It is hitherto only known from Spitsbergen. Naevia juscella (KARSTEN) LIND 1910 b p. 11, Syn. Trochila fuscella KARSTEN 1871 I p. 248, Phacidium fuscellum KARSTEN 1885 p. 160, Syll. VIII p. 720.
16 THE MICROMYCETES OF SVALBARO 15 On Festuca rubra, S6rkapplandet (LlD) and Freemann Strait (MALM GREN). Luzula nivalis, Quade Ho k (H. RESVOLL-HoLMSEN). Naevia pusilla (LIB.) REHM 1896 p. 118 c. icon., Syll. VIII p. 662, Syn. Trochila juncicola ROSTRUP 1886 p. 231, Syl!. VIII p.732. On Juncus biglumis and triglumis, Luzula arcuata, Luz. confusa, Luz. nivalis and Luz.

On dead leaves of Polygon urn viviparum from Advent Bay and Hiorthamn (LlD), Cape Thordsen and Klaas Billen Bay (H. RESVOLL HOLMSEN). Stegia subvelata REHM, Hedwigia 19, 1880 p. 176, Syl!. VIII p. 734, Syn. Micropeziza subvel. REHM, Stegia Caricis PECK, Syll. XIV p. 814 (see BU BAK : Einige neue Pilze aus N. Am., Journal of Mycology 1906 March), Stegia subvelata REHM var. Winteri REHM 1896 p On dead leaves of Carex glareosa, Carex Lachenalii, Carex rigida, Carex rupestris and Carex subspathacea from various localities at Ice Fjord and once from Liefde Bay. This very excellent species, known immediately by its elongated, lanceolate, acutely pointed paraphyses has, as far as I can see, never before been met with in Arctic regions. (FRIES) REHM 1896 p. 73, Syn. Leptosphaeria Empetri (FuCKEL) WINTER 1887 p. 487, Metasphaeria Empetri SACC. Syl!. II p. 171, Excipula Empetri FRIES S. M. II p. 190, Syl!. III Sphaeropezia Empetri p.668. On dead leaves of Empetrum nigrum from Bell Sound U. V AHL), Green Harbour (TH. M. FRIES) and Coles Bay (H. RESVOLL-HoLM SEN). The present specimens agree very well with the description by FRIES viz., "Primo convexo-conica dein cylindrica, demum obovatocylindrica".
17 16 J. LIND Rhytisma Empetri FRIES, Syll. VIII p. 751, Syn. Sphaeria Empetri FRIES S. M. 11 p. 522, Duplicaria Empetri FUCKEL. On Empetrum nigrum from Green Harbour (TH. M. FRIES). KAR STEN (1872 p. 96) has found it on quite the same collection, and I have not been able to discover the fungus on other collections of Empetrum from Svalbard. It agrees very well with the description given by FRIES viz., "... junior omnino vera Sphaeria orhicularis, laevis, atra, nitida.... demum vera collapsa, adplanata, inaequalis...". Undoubtedly the Melasmia Empetri Magnus (see below p. 39) represents the conidial fructification of this species. Rhytisma salicinum FRIES, Syll. VIII p On leaves of Salix polaris and Salix herbacea x polaris collected in many different localities at Spitsbergen and Bear Island. Hysteriaceae. Lophodermium arundinaceum (FRIES) CHEV., Syll. 11 p Syn. Lophoderm. culmigenum KARSTEN 1872 p. 96. On dead leaves of Calamagrostis neglecta, Catabrosa algid a and concinna, Deschampsia alpina, Dupontia Fisheri, Festuca ovina and rubra, Hierochloe alpina, Poa abbreviata, Poa alpigena x alpina, Poa alpigena x arctica, Poa alpina, Poa arctica, Poa Balfourii, Puccinellia angustata and Vahliana and Trisetum spicatum. Collected in many different localities, not absent from any region visited at Svalbard. I have seen 100 collections of Gramineae especially Festuca and Poa with this fungus. KARSTEN (1872 p. 96) has recorded it on nearly all the same grasses. Lophodermium caricinum (DESM.) DUBY, Syll. II p On Eriophorum Scheuchzeri, Advent Bay (LID). Undoubtedly Leptostroma Henningsii ALLESCHER is the conidial fructification of this species, see p. 39.

Vahliana. From many localities on the western coast of Spitsbergen, also from Liefde Bay, Wijde Bay, Treurenberg Bay and Lomme Bay on the north coast. It somewhat resembles Pleospora media, but is easily recognisable by the perithecia tapering upwards in a conical neck which is often oblique. The spores are cylindrical and in the middle somewhat narrower, the walls are fairly strong, 5 crosswalls and 1 longitudinal wall and the latter often bends obliquely to the side in the two outermost segments, asci x " spores V. x , the colour dark chestnut, the perithecia are in diameter. The history of this species is rather peculiar, it has been delineated by BERLESE (1888 Tab. III Fig. 8) under the name of Pleospora pentamera KARSTEN, but in the text BERLESE himself writes that the figure does not correspond to KARSTEN'S description and he therefore repeats KARSTEN'S description verbatim. Later on BERLESE must have received fresh :TJaterial of the true Pentamera from KARSTEN, as we find in the larger edition of his illustrated work (1900) a very striking illustration of Pentamera, while our species is now called Pleosp. Magnusiana with the remark that it has been found "in culmis et foliis Glyceriae Vahlianae in Visby, Gotlandiae, Magnus". Here again, however, there must be a mistake, for Puccinellia Vahliana has never been found in Gothland. Another of our Svalbardian fungi viz., Pleospora deflectens, is also asserted to have been found at Visby (Syll. II p. 266, BERLESE 1900). In both cases there must be a mistake. Pleospora Magnusiana has hitherto never been found outside of Svalbard.
