 River(A. A. Hamilton; October, 1912); recorded from South 

 Australia in J. M. Black's " Naturalised Flora of South Aus- 

 tralia"; new for New South Wales. —The specimens from New- 

 castle, Senfcio orissijloriis, a native of South America, and Galenia 

 secunda, a South African species, have doubtless been introduced 

 in ballast unloaded from vessels. 



Mr. E. Cheel exhibited, a series of interesting grasses infested 

 with "Smut" — UstiJago hullafa Berk., on the inflorescence of 

 Agropyrum scahrum Beauv.; Nattai River, via Hill Top (E. 

 Cheel; February, 1912). It is recorded for New South Wales in 

 Cooke's " Handbook of Australian Fungi "(p.326) on the inflor- 

 escence of 7'riticum, but it is not mentioned for tliis State by 

 McAlpine("The Smuts of Australia," p. 151), although he records

 in one paddock, and one-tenth of it blighted like this sample I 

 am sending you." It is probably the U. occulta of Cobb, 

 recorded from New England in Agric. Gaz. N. S. Wales, iii., p.731, 

 1892). McAlpine (ojo. cit., p. 199) says it is common in New
