circumstance of the spores being multiapiculate instead of uni- 
apiculate surely cannot be of generic importance. At any rate 
the name Solenodonta cannot stand, as it is preoccupied by a 
genus of insectivorous mammals, Brandt in Mém. de VAc. d. 8S.

Forming thick bullate patches several inches long, occupying 
whole internodes covered by their sheath ; spores globose, larger 
than in U. hypodytes and U. longissima. 
A very good account of this species will be found in Wallroth’s 
book quoted above. Our plant is exactly his species. It some- 
times occupies distinct lines, as in U. longissima. Whether U. 
grandis, Fr., be the same thing or not can only be ascertained by 
the sight of authentic specimens. 
481. U. hypodytes, Fr. Syst. Mye. vol. im. p.518. This spe- 
cies occurred in 1848 in the greatest profusion at King’s Cliffe, 
affecting almost every flowering-stem of Bromus erectus. A plant 
of this grass being set in a garden produced none but diseased 
flower-stems the following year.

Forming elongated parallel sori on the upper surface of the 
leaves. Spores four times as long as in U. lonyissima, obovate, 
rough with minute granules. 
A most distinct and interesting species, exhibiting in its spores 
the type of an Uredo rather than of an Ustilago.
