British mycologists will welcome this second fasciculus of British 
Fungi. Like the former, it consists almost entirely of epiphytal 
species, and among them we notice several that are of interest even to 
those who have long studied this curious set of plants. There are 
ihree species new to science,—Venturia Myrtilli, Spherella inequalis, 
and S. Vaccinii; several are new to Britain, such as Æecidium Or 
chidearum, Puccinium Asari, P. difformis, and Spherella myriadea ; 
while others are very rare species, thus, Puccinium Campanula has not 
been noticed since Carmichael found it; P. Calthe, Torrubia ento- 
morrhiza, Septoria Ledi, and many others might be characterized as rare. 
There is a curious specimen of what is believed to be Macrosporium 
Cheiranthi on a leaf of Beta vulgaris; we should have thought this 
sufficient to establish it as a new species, for the practice generally has 
been to make as many species of Puccinium, or any other — 
un n as "ihoni are species on which they grow. We Dope
