(With Plates III.— VI.) 



In this third instalment of a descriptive list of the TJredineoi of 

 Simla (in continuation of the second part in this Journal, Vol. LVIII, 

 Pt. II, 1889), I complete a description of all the species known to me 

 up to the present time. The present part includes descriptions of 6 

 species of Uromyces, 4 of Phrag^nidium, 3 of Melampsora, 3 of Coleo- 

 sporium, 1 of Gymnosjporangium, 2 of Ghrysomyxa, 2 of Cceoma, and 6 of 

 isolated Uredo iovms. I have also added descriptions of four Aecidial 

 forms, which should have been included in Part I of this List, and seven, 

 species of Buccinia, which should have found a place in Part II. 



I must here express my obligations to Dr. George Watt, C. I. E., 

 for his kind and ever ready help in determining the species of many 

 hosts.
