is probable that the fungus which I consider to be the same 
in both cases is in perfection in December and January. 
Compared with other Uredinee which grow on Conifere, the 
ecidium in question, apart from the galls which indicate its 
presence, is decidedly less conspicuous, and an excellent ob- 
server of plants, Mr. Wm. Peniston, who lives close to the
