226 BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN MEMOIRS 
have been collected only in Idaho and western Montana. Weir and 
Hubert in 1916 (Phytopath. 7: 109. 1917) have confirmed the above 
results. :

Kunkel’s results (Bull. Torrey Club 40: 361. 10913; 43: 559: 
1916; Amer: Jour. Bot. 1: 37. 1914) indicate that two rustcnom 
Rubus, both commonly referred to Gymnocontia interstitialis or Caeoma 
nitens, occur in North America, one a short-cycled form having the 
morphology of a Caeoma, the other a brachy-form with caeomoid 
aecia and telia of the type of Puccinia (P. Peckiana Howe). Arthur 
(I. c.) has recently based the genus Kunkelia on the short-cycled form. 
The inclusion of the Oregon collections under Kunkelia follows 
the disposition made of them by Arthur.
