long ; others on the bark, often 6 mm. broad, saccate, torn, 

 crowded, white, spores various in form, up to 40 X 17-28 /x, 

 warted, orange ; sori of uredospores yellowish-rufous, soon 

 pale, pulverulent; spores in short chains, soon separating, 

 elliptical or subcylindrical, orange, warted, 20-40x14-26 /x; 

 sori of teleutospores forming waxy, slightly convex crusts, 

 yellowish-rufous then red, spores cylindrical or cylindric- 

 clavate, up to 110X17-35 /x, apex flattened, generally 

 4-celled, bright rufous-orange. 



Chrysomyxa, Unger. — Teleutospores transversely many- 

 septate, arranged in a single series, or sometimes branched, 

 lower loculi sterile, coalescing in a yellow or reddish, 

 somewhat waxy, flat or shghtly convex stratum ; pro- 

 mycelium generally 4-septate, each cell producing a 

 single secondary spore on the apex of a slender sterigma ; 

 uredospores as in Coleosporium ; aecidia as in Puccinia.

 white, up to 3 mm. long, cells much compressed ; aecidio-
