8. Other uses. — As a general rule these are more interesting than useful, 

 and some are inserted for completeness sake. 



9. Fungi found on grass. — As a general rule these will be found to be 

 microfungi, such as what are known as "smuts," "rusts," black spots," &c. 

 Very few fungi have been recorded on Australian grasses, and now that 

 attention has been drawn to the subject, I feel sure that collectors will 

 speedily increase the number very largely. I shall be glad to receive speci- 

 mens of grasses, blighted or with various small stains, patches, or spots 

 thereon. • 



The following fungi have been recorded on Australian grasses, genera 

 not stated. Where the genus or species has been recorded, the information 

 has been given when dealing with the grass in question : —

10. Habitat and range. — We have much to learn in this direction yet. 

 I have given the localities with some precision as regards our own Colony, 

 making brief notes suffice in regard to the range in the other colonies. We 

 want additional information in regard to the occurrence of many species 

 within our own Colony, and collections of grasses are cordially asked for, it 

 being understood that the fullest particulars will be returned to senders 

 concerning their consignments.
