1891: Jour. Mycol. VII, ps 281. 
On Redfieldia flexuosa, Garden City, July 1889— type, Dr. Geo. Vasey. 
This species is very rare and has only been collected once. It was discov- 
ered by Professor Tracy on herbarium specimens of the host distributed 
by the Division of Botany of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

1885: Verh. Zool.-Bot. Ges. Wien, p. 545. 
On Avena sativa, Manhattan, June 1892, II, July 1892, III, M. A. Carle- 
ton: Hamilton county, summer of 1892, A. S. Hitchcock; Woodson 
county, July 1891, J. W. G. McCormick. 
Common on this host, but so far not found in the state on other grami- 
neal hosts.

found only once. 
On Triticum vulgare, Rooks county, June 17, 1892, II, June 28, 1892, III.

ard and Woodson counties. 
On Secale cereale, Rooks county, June 25, 1890, II, 11; Manhattan, June 
25, 1892, M. A. Carleton.

On Keeleria cristata, Greenwood county, summer of 1892, Hitchcock. 
On EKatonia obtusata, Rooks county, June 1898, II, IIT. 
On Elymus striatus, Hamilton county, Nov. 1892, Carleton. 
This is the ‘‘red rust’”’ of the cereals which is so noticeable in the uredo 
stage. Like Puccinia poculiformis, it is one of the universal species, 
being found in all parts of the world, but it is not so destructive in its 
qualities as that species. The III is inconspicuous as the sori are per- 
sistently tectate — covered by the epidermis of the culm, sheath, or leaf. 
. Puccinia sanicule, Grey. III. 
1824: Flora Edin. p. 431. 
On Sanicula canadensis, Manhattan, Aug. 1892, C. H. Thompson. 
On Sanicula marylandica, Pottawatomie county, Aug. 17, 1893, Norton 
and Dorman. 
Rare and not destructive. 
71. Pueccinia schedonnardi, Kell. & Sw. II, III. 
1888: Jour. Mycol. IV, p. 95. 
On Schedonnardus texanus, Manhattan, Mar. 1889 ( Kell. & Swing., Kan. 
Fungi, No. 16); Phillips county, Sept. 1895; Rooks county, Dec. 1895 
and June 1896. 
Rare and inconspicuous. Must be looked for diligently to be seen at all. 
Pucecinia seymeriz, Burrill. 
1884: Bot. Gazette, p. 189. 
On Seymeria macrophylla, Manhattan (no date), Kellerman and Swingle. 
The single piece of a leaf in the college herbarium labeled as this species 
contains no fungus whatever! The presumption is that the species has 
been collected in the state; hence its place in this catalogue.
