at L0venlund and at Grown on St. Thomas, the regions around 

 Cruz Bay, Coral Bay (Debt, Bordeaux, Garohne etc.) and America 

 Hill on St. Jan and near Jolly Hill (Mount Stewart Gut, Gresquis- 

 and Galedonia-valley) on St. Groix. 



As in my studies in the Danish West Indies I had, as before 

 said, other objects, 1 dare not at all think my collections of fungi 

 complete. I hope only that the result of my gatherings, together 

 with the before named, earlier published findings, will form the 

 beginning ol a complete Danish West Indian Fungi Flora.

Phycomyceteae, Ustilagineae, Uredineae, Discomyce- 



teae, Pyrenomyceteae et Fungi imperfecti 



by 

 C. Ferdinandsen and 0. Winge. 



(With Plate l-II.) 



The fungi of these groups, hitherto known from The Danish 

 West Indies, are represented by very few species. E. Fries 

 enumerates in Novae Symbolae Mycologicae 24 species from D. 

 W. I., among which only one, Xylaria Poitei Fr., belongs to the 

 groups here examined. 



In F. Borgesen og 0. Paulsen: Om Vegetat. paa de Dansk- 

 Vestind. 0er, Bot. Tidsskr., 22. Bd., Kbhvn., (French edition: La 

 vegetation des Antilles Danoises, Rev. Gen. de Bot., 1900) Rostrup 

 gives a list of fungi, comprising 31 species, among which 20 Auto- 

 basidiomycetes; the groups examined by us (vide supra) are also 

 represented by only 11 species: Coniothtjrium melasporum (Berk.) 

 Sacc, C. Palmarum Gda., Daldinia concentrica* (Bolt.) de Not., 

 Dicliomera Sauhinetii (Mont.) Gke., Erysiphe communis* Fr., Hypo- 

 crea rufa* (Pers.) Fr., Hypoxylon coccineum Bull., Lisea australis 

 Speg., Schroeteria Cissi (D. G.) De Toni, Uromyces Asdepiadis Gke., 

 U. Sidae Thiim. 



In Millspaugh: Flora of The Island of St. Groix, Field Go- 



* The species marked with * are also to be found in Raunkirer's collection: 

 Hypocrea rufa occurs in our list as Trichodcrma lignorum Harz, and 

 Daldinia concentrica Ges. et De Not. is surely identic with our D. Esch- 

 scholzii Rehm.
