Puccinia bartholomeei, Diet. IT, II. 
1892: Hedwigia, p. 290. 
On leaves, sheaths and culms of Bouteloua oligostachya, Rooks county, 
Mar. 1892—type. Also collected Oct. 1892, Aug. 1895, and Dec. 1895. 
On leaves of Bouteloua racemosa, Mar. 1893 and July 1894. 
This species has been repeatedly mistaken for Puccinia vexans, Farl., by 
various collectors, but it differs much from that, especially in the 
smaller size of the teleutospores and the absence of the large number 
of one-celled spores usually found in that species. Not very common, 
yet frequently found in favorable situations, especially about cultivated 
ground, covering large tufts of the grass, particularly of the first- 
named host, on every leaf, sheath, and culm. 
( Nore.— Doctor Dietel’s specific, ‘‘ Bartholomewii,” does not make a proper Latin 
terminal for this word; hence the change to ‘‘ Bartholomeei.’’) 
Puccinia caricis, (Schum.) Reb. IT, III. 
1803: Flora Saell. p. 233. 
‘On Carex stricta, Rooks county, Oct. 1892 and Oct. 1896. 
On C. sparganioides, Mch. 1892. 
Cn Carex vulpinoidea, Emporia, Oct. 1892, Carleton.

On Carex muhlenbergii, Manhattan, July 1892, Thompson.

1892: Hedwigia, p. 289. 
On Chloris verticillata, Rooks county, Mar. 1892—type; Manhattan, Dec. 
1893, M. A. Carleton. 
A rare species, of infrequent occurrence. 
Puccinia circ, Pers. 
1797: Disp. Meth. Fung. p 39.

Sept. 1896, and Sept. 1897. 
This is a well-defined species, rather rare, but quite destructive to its host 
in favorable situations. Doctor Underwood reports it from Alabama on 
the same host, and Prof. B. M. Duggar reports it on Andropogon tener 
from the same state.
