PHYTOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS. WY 
Melampsora lini, (DC.) Tul. 
Ann. Sci. Nat. Ser. 4, II, p. 93. 
On Linum rigidum, Ford county, summer of 1892, A. S. Hitchcock. 
A rare and inconspicuous species, found at no other time or place in the 
state so far as known. 
PUCCINIA, Pers. 
Puccinia agropyri, E. & E. II, III. 
1891: Jour. Mycol. VII, p. 131. 
On Agropyrum glaucum, Rooks county, Sept. 1895. 
This is a well marked but very rare and inconspicuous species, doing little 
or no harm to its host. The subangular form of the teleutospores sepa- 
rates it readily from other species on gramineal hosts. 
28. Puccinia amphigena, Diet. III. 
30. 
él. 
1895: Hedwigia, p. 291. 
On Calamagrostis longifolia, Rooks county, Feb. 1893 (part of type), 
also Mch. 1897; Manhattan, Sept. 1892, C. H. Thompson; Dec. 1893, 
M. A. Carleton. 
The Manhattan specimens were labeled in the college herbarium as Puc- 
cinia graminis, Pers. It may usually be determined in the gross form 
with little difficulty by its persistently amphigenous teleutosori, even in 
the closely bound sheaths. 
Puccinia andropogonis, Schw. II, III. 
1834: Syn. N. Am. Fungi, p. 295. 
On Andropogon provincialis, Rooks county, Sept. 1892 and Mar. 1897; 
Manhattan, Sept. 1893, M. A. Carleton; Franklin county, Dec. 1893,

On Andropogon scoparius, Rooks county, Jan. 1893, Dec. 1895, and Sept. 
1897, II; Manhattan, Mar. 1891, C. H. Thompson; Sept. 1887, Kel- 
lerman and Swingle; Franklin county, Dec. 1893, Grace Meeker. 
This rust, which is common every year and probably found in every county 
in the state, is not very destructive to its hosts. 
Puccinia anemones-virginianze, Schw. III. 
1822: Syn. Fung. Carol. No. 486. 
On Anemone virginiana, Manhattan, July 1892, C. H. Thompson. 
On Anemone nemorosa, Manhattan, June 1887, Kellerman and Swingle. 
Puccinia solida, Schw., and P. compacta, DeBy., are synonyms of this 
species. 
Puccinia angustata, Peck, III. 
XXX Rept. State Bot. N. Y. p. 125. 
On Scirpus atrovirens, Rooks county, April 1890 and Sept. 1896; Manhat- 
tan, July and Sept. 1892, M. A. Carleton.

June 1892, C. H. Thompson. 
A common and widely distributed species, but not very destructive.
