menls of culture. In the same year, however, FISCHER, (4) supporting BUBAK'S. 

 opinion, used the name of P. Pulsatillae Rostr. 



From my own studies of HoL WAY'S type specimens of P. suffused and P. fitsca 

 of N. America, I agree with him in considering them to be distinct species. They 

 differ especially in the characters of the sori (those of our specimens being not 

 confluent and smaller in size), but in the form of the spore there are many inter- 

 mediate forms among them. The Japanese specimens, I have examined, have the 

 characteristic sori of P. suffusca. 



In short, P. Pidsatiliae Rostr. should be rejected on account of the priority of 

 the same name by KALCHBRENNER, and the name of P. suffusca should be adopted. 

 The identification of P. fusca and P. svffusca ought to be settled by culture 

 experiments, as SYDOW has already remarked, and until that time, I believe that it 

 is justifiable to retain the name of P. suffused.

REMARKS. In Japan, there has been no record concerning the occurrence of 

 any Puccinia on Anemone narcissiftora up to this time. Teleutosori of this fungus 

 are amphigeuous, mostly hypophyllous or on the petioles, small or medium in size, 

 scattered or gregarious on discoloured spots, often confluent into a large mass (3cm 

 on leaf-blades, 8 cm on petioles in its maximum length), at first covered by 

 epidermis, when ruptured becoming powdery and sooty-black in colour. Teleu- 

 tospores are oblong-ellipsoidal or oblong, rounded at both ends, sometimes 

 attenuated at the base, nob or slightly thickened at the apex, not or slightly con- 

 stricted at the septum, smooth or finely verrucose, brown, 35 54 x!6 23/i (rarely 

 58.5 /A in length) ; the germ-pore of the upper cell is at the apex, that of the lower
