ARTHUR'S UREDINALES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN 



FLORA. 



W. A. KELLERMAN. 



This exhaustive monograph constitutes Part 2 of Volume 7 

 of an important publication which is being issued by the New 

 York Botanical Garden, as rapidly as the Orders are worked 

 up by specialists. This paper is the fourth Part appearing to 

 date. 



The Order Uredinales, by Joseph Charles Arthur, as here 

 treated, consists of the three families Coleosporiaccac, Ure- 

 dinaceae, and Aecidiaceae. The first family occupies pages 85- 

 96, and the second, pages 97-128 of this Part of the Flora; four- 

 teen (of the thirty-seven) genera of the family x\ecidiaceae are 

 included in the remaining pages (129-160) of Part 2. Only a 

 few botanists, if indeed any outside the devotees of Uredinology, 

 will not be surprised at the radical treatment of this group — the 

 innovations proposed. 



It is the purpose of this review to point out what Dr. Arthur 

 has done rather than to pronounce juclgment on any part of his 

 work. For years he has devoted his energies to the study of 

 Rusts. His culture-work, study of life cycles, genetic relation- 

 ships, and morphology, have prepared the way for, and culmi- 

 nated in this splendid monograph, wdiich w'e will now proceed 

 to analyze.
