recognized as a Synchytrium by Miyabe. It is probable that 
Hennings had old and over-mature material as, in this condition, 
the fungus pustules might easily be mistaken for the aecidia of 
a rust when given a hasty or superficial examination.

Luzon, vicinity of Manila, Mackey s. n., March, 1914. Para- 
sitic on the rhinoceros beetle. 
This fungus, commonly known as “Green Muscardine," has 
been reported on a number of insect hosts and from a number of 
localities. It was first found in the Philippines on the cocoanut 
borer, the larva of the rhinoceros beetle, and appears to be fairly 
common about the vicinity of Manila. It is also fairly established 
in the cocoanut district of Laguna Province. 
Reported from tropical America, the Hawaiian Islands, Samoa, 
and Europe.

Luzon, vicinity of Manila, M. A. Barber, August, 1912, para- 
sitic on fish eggs. 
The fungus was producing only zoospores when collected. 
As the writer desired to use the material for class-room work, pure 
cultures were made in distilled water on bits of sterile meat and 
also on tubed agar slants. A number of these cultures were kept 
growing for some time before they were desired for use, in the hope 
of inducing the formation of oospores and antheridia. The results
