Uredinales of Indiana. ITI. 175 
The specimen is largely immature consisting mostly of pyenia, though 
a few aecia are present. 
The telial stage has not yet been collected in Indiana, but develops on 
the branches of Juniperus virginiana and has been collected only in the 
vicinity of Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. Aecia haye been collected, however. 
also in Missouri, Kentucky and Virginia. 
The connection between the telia on Juniperus and the aecia on Gillenia 
was established by Arthur (Mycologia 1:253. 1909:2:231. 1910).

The specimens listed above were in part included in the 1915 list’ under 
No. 101, Gymnoconia intersitialis (Schlecht.) Lagerh. Recent studies by 
Kunkel have shown that there are two forms of the orange rust of black- 
berries and raspberries, one a Caeoma with an Endophyllum-like life his- 
tory and the other an opsis-Puccinia-like form. The former has been sep- 
arated by Dr. Arthur (1. ¢.) as a new genus, Kunkelia. For the sake of 
emphasis this name is used above, though it should be recognized that there 
is considerable difference of opinion as to the relationship of the two 
forms, especially in view of very recent investigations by Kunkel (Jour. 
Agr. Res. 19 :501-512. 1920) and Clinton (Conn. Agr. Exp. Sta. Bull. 222: 
469-473. 1920). The writer is inclined to believe that we haye here a rust 
which is in an advanced stage of an evolutionary transition from a leng 
to a short cycled form, the transition taking place in the direction of the 
aecium and the long cycled form surviving in certain regions and on certain 
hosts.

This, the leaf rust of barley, was collected for the first time in Indiana as 
indicated above. A number of other collections in various counties of the 
state have since been made, indicating that the rust was not uncommon in 
1918, but was not present in severe form. Usually the infection was very 
slight and required careful search to find it. 
Tranzschel has shown that this rust in Russia has its aecia on Ornitho- 
galum umbellatum and O. narbonense (Myc. Cent. 4:70. 1914). Aecia have 
not been collected in North America.
