that island. Piiccinia pnlvcrtilciita, Grev., formed a striking exception. It 

 grew most luxuriantly on a patch of Willow-herb near Mr. Johnson's 

 house at Kilmurvy, the entire under-surface of some of the leaves being 

 covered with the cluster-cups, whilst large confluent sori of teleuto- 

 spores occurred on neighbouring plants. This partial separation of the 

 two stages— dioecisra — is worthy of note. The commonest wild 

 Umbellifer, Angelica sylvesiris, was infested with a rust, P. ptmpinel/cr, Sirsiuss, 

 whilst the only specimen I saw of the local Phnpinella magna was covered 

 with the Urcdo-s^o\.^ of a somewhat larger-spored rust which may 

 possibly prove distinct. The only other species worthy of remark 

 are the Phragmidium on the Lesser Burnet, and the rust on clover, both 

 found on Aran, and neither frequent, so far as my experience goes, on the 

 east side of Ireland.

 enjoyable excursion.
