25. T. Buchloeana K. & S., Jour. Myc, V. p. 11. (!) 



In ovaries in the normally staminate spikelets of Buchloe 

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

 ties (Kellerman 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 Tilletia 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 first were made and only the following note, " after 

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

 teristic conidia of Tilletia. ," 



2Q. T. rotundata (Arth.) Ell. & Ev.* 



Collected December, 1895, in ovaries of Panicum virgalum, 

 Manhattan, and on herbarium specimen collected by Joseph 

 Henry at Salina in 1886. 



Attempted germination unsuccessful. 



III. ENTYLOMA. 



Owing to lack of suitable fresh material no germination
