Texas Fungii—l, Some new Species of Puccinia 
By W. H. Lone, Jr. 
The following species were collected by the writer in 1900- 
1901, mainly in the vicinity of Austin, Texas. They were sub- 
mitted to Mr. E.. W. D. Holway (to whom I am under many and 
lasting obligations for the many favors shown me), and also to Dr. 
P. Sydow. 
The descriptions and drawings were made by the writer. The 
drawings, by the aid of an Abbe camera lucida, represent such 
_ forms as are usually seen under the microscope. They are made 
mainly from material boiled and mounted in lactic acid, as speci- 
mens thus treated are more nearly restored to their normal shape 
and size than when mounted in water; besides the acid brings out 
the germ pores and minor details. All drawings are made to the 
same scale ; a Bausch and Lomb one-inch ocular, and one-sixth 
inch objective were used, with the paper on a level with the base 
of the microscope, and are reduced one-half in reproduction. 
Where the,writer has more than one collection of a species, he 
has thought it best to mark, as type, that special collection from 
which the drawings and descriptions were made ; therefore under 
each species is given the date and number of the type material.
