thickening, like that described in Puce. Prenanthis. Through each of 

 these a commencing germ tube protrudes, but one only develops fully. 

 They are in pustules mostly hypophyllous, but some few epiphyllous. 

 These uredospores afford another instance of extremely long retained 

 power to germinate. I put some spores scraped of£ from leaves gathered 

 ontheSlst October into water on the 13th June, and found on the 

 following day that many had germinated most freely, although the ac- 

 companying teleutospores remained ungerminated. 



The teleutospores are brownish yellow, very irregular in shape, the 

 septum often oblique, and even perpendiculai^ slightly constricted at 

 the septum, generally not thickened at the free end, though sometimes 

 slightly so, mostly rounded at both ends, but sometimes with the lower 

 ceil narrowing towards the stalk (PI. V, fig. 18). After lying 24 hours 

 in water these spoi-es measured 41 — 26 x 24 — 1 8//,. 



This is possibly Puce. Gastagnei, whose teleutospores are said to 

 be very irregular and to measure 46 — 36 x 24 — 18/a. 



PUCCINIA EULALIAE, n. S. 

 On Follinia japonica, Haeck. 



The leaves of this grass presented dark reddish brown linear 

 pustules, mostly on their under-surfaces. These pustules contained 

 Tiredo- and teleutospores with numerous capitate paraphyses. 



The uredospores are oval or pyriform, pale brown, and spiny, and 

 measure when just wetted 30 — 28 x 21 — 20/x. 



The teleutospores are reddish brown : the upper cell is rounded and 

 not thickened specially anywhere ; the lower is broadly wedge-shaped. 

 The surface of the spores is smooth, and they usually have a short piece 

 of stalk adhering. They measure when just wetted 38 — 34 x 20 — 18/a. 

 The paraphyses are numerous, reddish brown, capitate, the heads 

 measuring about 16/ii. in diameter. 



This is probably a new species. 



MICBOPUCCINIA. 



PUCCINIA EXCBLSA, n. S. 



On Phlomis lamiifolia, Koyle. 



I found this plant early in September on the summit of the Huttoo 

 peak bearing Puccinia pustules. I next found it, about the same time 

 at Mahasu, a hill close to Simla. The leaves were densely bespattered 

 on the under surfaces with fairly large, round to oval, dark brown, 

 almost black, circular hemispherical pustules, with a smaller less fre-
