Inoperculate Chytridiaceous Organisms Collected in the Vicinity of Ithaca, N. Y., with Notes on Other Aquatic Fungi

Abstract

SUMMARY This paper concludes the account of the aquatic fungi found by the writer in the vicinity of Cornell University. The total number of aquatic fungi collected was 76, of which 64 are reported in this paper and 12 in a previous one (8). All but one of those reported (Harposporium, a member of the Imperfecti) were Phycomycetes. Among the latter are included two new genera and ten new species of chytrids and one new variety of Monoblepharis. The writer wishes to thank Mr. F. T. Brooks, F.R.S., for his kindness in reading over the manuscript. This work was carried on while the writer was the holder of a National Research Council Fellowship in the Biological Sciences.
