P. Malvacearum Mont., on Malva sylvestris, near Kingcausie, in October. 



P. perplexans PL, on leaves of Alopecurus pratensis, found in July, at Aboyne, 



by Mr. G. Brebner. 

 uEOidium Ranunculi-acris, found in May by Mr. Brabner, in the same 



locality as P. perplexans occurred in afterwards. 

 J&. Jacoba^ae Grev., was found this year on the Links or sandhills, north of the 



Don, near Aberdeen, in June, on Senecio Jacobcea. A search near the latter 



plant in July soon brought to light 

 Puccinia Schoeleriana PL, on Carex arenaria. Neither fungus was found 



elsewhere on the links. 

 An /Ecidium, apparently JE. Thalictri-flavi, was plentiful on several plants of 



Thalictrum minus var. maritimum (near the last mentioned species) in June 



and July ; and in its immediate neighbourhood I found, in July, a Puccinia 



on Festuca rubra, which may be connected with it, as neither could be found 



beyond a limited area, where they grew side by side. 

 Uromyces Pose Rab., plentiful near Aberdeen, in localities where jEc. Ranun- 



culacearum bad grown on R. Ficaria. 

 Uredo Hypericorum, D.C., on Hypericum pulchrum, at Park, in autumn.
