ting sp c rned the present species might 
be considered a form of S. awreum, which is said by Schroeter to occur on 
garis in Europe; but in S. aureum sori have never been found, so far 
as know, while in our form they are common, and, as has already been said, 
like those of S. Stellarie, a species abundantly different from ours in the resting 
spores and deformities produced. S. Holwayi may then be considered distinct, 
at least until it shall hereafter be discovered that S. awrewm has similar sor.

California. Europe. 
This species is reported by Harkness and Moore in California in their Cat- 
alogue |. c. It is to be expected in the Eastern States, but I have never been 
able to detect it near Cambridge. It is also said to occur in Illinois, The de- 
scription given above is taken from Schroeter. 
4, S. INNOMINATUM. 
Spots dark red, resting spores globose.or slightly elliptical, 
-07-.10mm.in diameter, epispore thin and smooth, in oval host- 
cells which do not project beyond the surface of the leaves 
Sori yellow, about .12-.15mm. in diameter, sunk in the leaves. 
On leaves of Malacothriz. 
Santa Cruz, Cal. ~ : 
The present form was found by Dr. C. L. Anderson on leaves of Malacothrit. 
When the parasite is not very abundant the leaves are turned dark red, but not 
distorted. When it is abundant, however, the leaves are reduced in size and 
become irregularly knotted and twisted. The affected cells swell to a consid: 
erable size, but are always sunk in the leaves and do not rise above the sur 
or two inacell. The sori, unlike those of .S. Holwayi, completely fill - ee 
cell when mature. The species is certainly closely related to S. Tarazaci, D. e 
& Wor., and it may be the S, sanguineum Schroeter, said in Bericht. Schlesise® 
Gesell. 1875, to be nearly related to S. Taraxaci, but of which I have see? a 
description. I have thought best to avoid giving a name to our form ey 
shall be proved, on further eXamination, to be clearly distinct from the 
species just mentioned.
