Crataegus punctata, giving a few pycnia on the first, not noticed

15. Gymnosporangium globosum Farl., on Juniperus virgin- 

 tana L., collected by Mr. A. B. Seymour at Manchester, Mass., 

 was sown April 29 on Malus Mains, producing no infection, and 

 on Crataegus Pringlei Sarg. (seedling from tree determined by 

 Mr. W. W. Eggleston), giving abundant pycnia, and followed 

 by equally abundant aecia. Another collection made by Mr. F. D.

 lorum Sarg., collected by Mr. E. Bethel at Eldorado Springs, 

 Colo., was sown May 2 on Amelanchier erecta and Sorbus ameri-
