PHYTOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS. 169 
Puccinia cirsii is dropped and all forms on Cnicus are referred to P. sua- 
veolens, (Pers.) Wint. 
Those on Pyrrhopappus, Taraxacum and Troximon are placed in P. 
hieracii, (Schum.) Mart. These changes are only in the line of establishing 
order where confusion has previously reigned. It seems, in a great measure, 
that each mycologist gets into a rut among these many-named species and fol- 
lows it through all his work for years, as the examination of any herbarium in 
the country will usually show. 
I wish to thank most sincerely the following persons for the many favors re- 
ceived from their hands, in the preparation of this catalogue, viz.: Dr. W. A. 
Kellerman, of Columbus, Ohio, for rare Kansas specimens furnished from his 
private herbarium for examination and comparison; Prof. J. C. Arthur, of La- 
fayette, Ind., for much valuable assistance in nomenclature and citation; Mr. 
George L. Clothier, of Manhattan, Kan., for his hearty and willing assistance in 
getting out the species in the herbarium of the agricultural college.
