McALPINE'S STUDIES OF AUSTRAILIAN RUSTS. 



BY J. C. ARTHUR. 



Among the notable recent contributions to uredinology the 

 volume on "The Rusts of Australia, their structure, nature and 

 classification," by D. McAlpine, is worthy of special attention. 

 It was prepared under the auspices of the Department of Agri- 

 culture of Victoria, and is an octavo volume of 349 pages of text 

 and 55 full-page plates, partly colored, and the others half-tones 

 from excellent photographs and photomicrographs. The press 

 work and binding are well done, and the volume as a whole is 

 a good piece of book-making. 



The body of the work is occupied by a systematic account 

 of 161 species of rusts, all so far known to occur in Australia, 

 distributed under 9 genera. The descriptions of the species are 

 admirably drawn with uniform diagnostic characters for each 

 of the spore-forms. The care exercised to study fully each kind 

 of spore, and especially to search out and describe the spermo- 

 gonia, is worthy of highest commendation. All collections are 

 reported by place, date and name of collector. Much care has 

 also been taken in citing bibliography and synonymy for each 

 species, and many notes and observations are appended. Prac-
