On Liliaceae: 



Aletris farinosa L., Newark, April 7, 1892, A. Commons (1924) ; 



Townsend, Oct. 9, 1896, A. Commons (2785) ; Selbyville, Oct. 



3, 1907 (1756). 



The specimen from Newark collected by Commons which is in the 



Ellis collection at the New York Botanical Garden is labeled as occuring 



on Chamalerion. The host is clearly Aletris. 



No aecia are known for this rather rare species and its life history 

 is in doubt. Only three other collections have been seen by the writer 

 from Massachusetts, Florida and Mississippi.

 On Poaceae: II, III. 



Schizachyrmm scoparium (Michx.) Na.sh {Andropogon scopa- 

 rius Michx.), Lewes, Nov. 16, 1907. 

 This species on Andropogon was first cultured by Arthur in 1899 

 (Bot. Gaz. 29:27. 1900) who succeeded in obtaining infection resulting 

 in aecia on Pentstemon piibescen.s using telia from A. scoparius from 

 Indiana. In 1904 and 1906 the same author (Jour. Myc. 10:11. 1904; 

 13:197. 1907) using telia of A. scajjarius collected in Nebraska, obtained 

 infection resulting in aecia on P. JiirsHtus. In 1910 (Mycol. 4:17. 1912) 

 telia from A. virginicus from W. Virginia were successfully cultured on 

 P. hirsntua and from A. scoparius from Colorado on /'. alpinus. In 1903 

 Kellerman (Jour. Myc. 9:10. 1903) verified the results of Arthur by 

 obtaining successful infection on P. Inra-Kfus resulting in pycnia follow- 

 ing sowing of telia from A. scoparhi.s collected in Indiana.
