Australian Fungi. 215 



foi'ms of fungi while engaged in his ordinary avocation as a fruit- 

 grower. 



The forms recorded are either new to science or to the colonies, 

 or have been found upon new host plants or in fresh localities, 

 and since they are all parasitic fungi, preying upon some form of 

 vegetable life, they are therefore of special interest to the vege- 

 table pathologist. 



They are arranged according to the plan laid down in my 

 paper read before the Australasian Association foi- the Advance- 

 ment of Science, at Adelaide (1893), on "Botanical Nomenclature, 

 with special reference to Fungi."' There are twelve groups 

 altogether, eight of which are represeiited here. Of the twenty- 

 eight species recorded, eight are new, in addition to one new 

 A-ariety.

This species was described from South Australia by Professor 

 Dr. F. Ludwig, in "Zeitschrift fiir Pflanzenkrankheiten," vol.
