Professor Trail has published a “ Revision of the Ustilaginez of 
Scotland,” showing the ascertained distribution of the species 
throughout the various districts defined in Mycologia Scotica. 
Seven species are there recorded for “Clyde,” including Nos. 1, 2, 
5, 7, 9, and 13 of the foregoing list, together with Graphiola 
phenicis, Moug., found on leaves of Phenix dactylifera in the

Nos. 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16) are not recorded for 
“Clyde” in Professor Trail’s paper.
