(Acta Soc. Faun. Flor. Fenn. xxii., 1902, No. 2, p. 8) stated 
that Karsten’s fungus was a Ramularia, with 2-celled, rod- 
_shaped conidia germinating soon after maturity. This descrip- 
tion would apply to Ramularia Pastinacae, Bubak, but not to 
Karsten’s own description of the long, tapering conidia. In 
view of the close association of the two species noted in England, 
it seems legitimate to conclude that Lindroth and Vestergren 
must have seen only the Ramularia, and erroneously supposed it 
to be Karsten’s Cercosporella. They do not, moreover, state 
whether they examined the type material. The description is 
as follows :—
