This species is only the third known meraberf of the sub- 

 genus Uroderma, and may be readily distinguished fri)m the 

 other two, A. planirostris and hilobatiis, by its nose-leaf being 

 bound down to the muzzle in front as well as by the detailed 

 differences in external structure and dentition above described.

t According to Dobson's Catalogue ; but I strongly suppect that Peterr's 

 A. eoncolor, considered in that work as a mere variety of A. planiro'tris, 

 ought properly to be reckoned as a distinct species, equally distinguishable 

 with that animal, however, from A. Hartii by the characters of its nose-leaf. 

 It is also somewhat larger, having, as Dr. Vlati^chie, of the Berlin Museum, 

 kindly informs me, the second Bkull-measurement above given 7*5 millim.,

The grape-rust continues to attract attention, and since 

 last writing Mr. Arthur Hylton has sent me some cuttings of 

 Tines badly infested by this fungus. 



Mr. Morris, of Kew, has written me a very interesting 

 letter on the subject, from which it appears that the fungus 

 was collected years ago by H. W. Ravenel in South Carolina, 

 U.S.A. Ravenel's specimens from the United States were 

 described by Thumen in 1878, but the account then given was 

 somewhat imperfect. This record had been put altogether on 

 one side, because Lagerheim, who went into the matter in 

 1890, came to the conclusion that Thumen's species (Uredo 

 vitisj was not only different from the grape-rust of Jamaica, 

 but was, in fact, not a fungus at all 1 This decision has now
