In ovaries in the normally staminate spikelets of Buchloe 

 daclyloides, Jewell Co. ( Miss Dahl), Trego and Ford coun- 

 ties (Kellermau and Swingle). 



In the early part of last year while making some germina- 

 tion tests preliminary to infection experiments with corn smut 

 a culture of Tillelia Buchloeana was made on a glass slide in 

 a moist chamber from material collected in Jewell Co. the 

 previous summer. This year I haVe not succeeded in getting 

 the same material to germinate. Unfortunately no drawings 

 of the jfirst were made and only the following note, " after 

 nine days, No. 7, germination good, some show the charac- 

 teristic conidia of Tillelia. ^^
