8. Other uses.—As a general rule these are more interesting than useful, 
and some are inserted for completeness sake. , 
9. Fungi found on grass—As a general rule these will be found to be 
microfungi, such as what are known as “smuts,” “rusts,” black spots,” &¢. 
Very few fungi have been recorded on Australian grasses, and now that 
attention has been drawn to the subject, I feel sure that collectors will 
speedily increase the number very largely. I shall be glad to receive speci- 
mens of grasses, blighted or with various small ‘stains, patches, or spots 
thereon. 
The following fungi have been recorded on Australian grasses, genera 
not stated. Where the genus or species has been recorded, the information 
has been given when dealing with the grass in question :— 
Grass— Grass, leaves of— 
Hypocrea (Hypocrella) axillaris, Phyllachora graminis, Pers. 
Cooke. Spherella graminicola, Fckl. 
Isaria graminiperda, var. fuci- Gyass, roots of— 
formis, Berk. Agaricus (Naucoria) frusticola, 
Leocarpus fragilis, Dicks. Bere 
Phoma nitida, Rob. 
ee aid, Ball. Agaricus (Tubaria) inquilinus, 
Fr.; var. ecbolus, Fr. 
Grass, culms— Grasses, undefined— 
Phoma graminis, West. Epichloé cinerea, Berk. et Br. 
Grass, decaying— 
Choetonium elatum, Kzl. 
10. Habitat and range—We have much to learn in this direction yet. 
IT have given the localities with some precision as regards our own Colony, 
making brief notes suffice in regard to the range in the other colonies. We 
want additional information in regard to the occurrence of many species 
within our own Colony, and collections of grasses are cordially asked for, it 
being understood that the fullest particulars will be returned to senders 
concerning their consignments.
