 Plate VII. 



In 1915 one of us published a short note on ''Some New | 

 B,ecords of Fungi for South Australia." In it were listed 

 some forty species the occurrence of which in the State was not 

 recorded in the literature dealing with Australian fungi. 



The present paper adds fifty-one species to the fungus 

 flora of the State and adds nine names to the host species of 

 Australian fungi. Many of these are common, whilst a few 

 liave already been mentioned in the Annual Reports of one 

 of us, and their place in this, list is merely a matter of con- 

 -venience, since these Reports are difficult of access to most 

 mycologists. Others of the species, however, are of more 

 interest, because of the apparent rarity of the fungi in other 

 parts of Australia, and one of them, Puccinia semiharhatae, 

 occurring on the native Bulhine semibarbata (Liliaceae), is 

 new to science. 



Following the arrangement of the previous list, reference 

 is given to Mc Alpine's Systematic Arrangement of Aus- 

 tralian Fungi, by the number assigned there, and also, where 

 possible, to other of McAlpine's works, in order to render it 

 easy to ascertain the range of a species in other States. It 

 is hoped to follow this paper shortly by another of a similar 

 type, which will bring the published records of South Aus- 

 tralian parasitic and micro-fungi into line with local 

 knowledge.
