. Heidium grossularize, Schum. 
1803: Flor. Saell. II, p. 223. 
On Ribes aureum, Rooks county, May 13,1889. Abundant and destructive 
on this host. 
On Ribes gracile, Chase county, May 1888, and Douglas county, May 1889, 
M. A. Carleton; Manhattan, May 1893, J. B. Dorman. 
On Ribes rotundifolium, Manhattan, May 1884, W. A. Kellerman; May 
1891, C. H. Thompson. 
Neither very common nor very destructive. 
. Heidium houstoniatum, Schw. 
1834: Syn. North. Am. Fung. No. 2891. 
On Houstonia angustifolia, Rooks county, June 1891; Decatur county, 
June 1892, Hitchcock; Manhattan, May 1886, M. A. Carleton; Osborne 
county, June 1894, C. L. Shear. 
Not very common, but quite destructive to the individual plants attacked. 
The Osborne county material collected by Prof. C. L. Shear was examined 
by Prof. J. B. Ellis and erected to the position of a new species (A®. 
eylindricum, E. & E., Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 1895, p. 61): but by a careful 
comparison of this material with the usual form of A". Houstoniatum 
on the same host, I am fully convinced that they are the same, and the 
fact that the xcidia are a little longer in the proposed new species than 
usual is not sufficient ground to warrant a specific distinction. 
/Ecidium impatientis, Schw. 
1822: Syn. Fung. Carol. No. 674.

Common, but not very destructive. A fine species. —
