TAKAHASHl : NOTES ON SOME PARASllTC FUNGI OF JAPAN, i.Sl 



5. ThecapJiora hyalina Fingerh. 



On Calystegia sepiinn, Sapporo (S. Uchiyama, Jan. 1905). 



The brown spore masses are formed in seeds, the affected ovaries scarcely 

 differing from the normal in shape and size. Although usually no trace of seeds 

 is contained in the affected ovaries, yet sometimes a few partially-destroyed seeds 

 are found in them. 



6. Pucci)na HeliantJti Schwein. 



The fungus was found in 1905 on HeliaiilJuts animus in the garden of the 

 Hokkaido Agricultural PLxperiment Station at Sapporo. As yet, however, no 

 serious damage has been caused to the plant. 



The aecidium stage of the fungus is not yet found with us. 



7. Puccini a pnrpjirca Cke. 



On SorgJiuni vjilgare, Prov. Higo (K. Yoshino, Sept. 1905). 



The present species, which has hitherto been recorded from India, Java, and 

 other countries, is now known to occur in Southern Japan. But to what an extent 

 the crop is damaged there by the fungus is not yet known to me. 



8. Cronartum ribicoluni Dietr. 



On Rihes rub mm, Sapporo (Y. Takahashi,' Sept, 1905) and on Ribcs rubrum 

 var. silvestre Rchb., near Tonnaicha, Saghalin (T. Miyake, Oct. 1906). 



This well-known parasite on various species of Ribes in Europe appeared very 

 abundantly on two or three plants of Ribes rubrum in the garden of the Hokkaido 

 Aguricultural PLxperiment Station in 1905. The aecidium stage {Peridcrmium 

 5/;'^/?/ Kleb.) of the fungus, which occurs on Pinus Strobus, Pinus Cembra, etc. in 

 Europe, is not yet found with us.
