 make the T cut through

I SEND you an outline drawing of the 

 fungus aflecting the specimens sent ; it 

 was drawn by one of my students Mr. 

 J. A. Craig. It is likely a representative 

 of the genus Puccinea^ the same genus 

 as i-ust of wheat and barberry, but not 

 the same species. The spores are very 

 large and distinct, and readily seen 

 with a power of 200 diameters. Fig 70.
