light, with the free end considerably thickened. When well moistened 

 the spores measure from 26 X 16 to 34 x 14//, or on an average of several 

 measurements 30'4 X 14'6//. The length of the stalk adherent is usually 

 about 40//. They germinate only after a period of winter rest ; at least 

 they do not germinate in autumu ; but I have not observed their ger- 

 mination in spring. 



This teleutospore has no genetic relationship with the Aecidium 

 borne by the same host.* 



6. Uromyces McIntirianus, nov. sp. 



On Hemiyraphis latebrosa, Nees. 



This fungus was collected by Mr. A. L. Mclntire, of the Forest 

 Department, in the Simla region ; but I have not myself found it. The 

 pustules are circular, minute, coalescing, and mostly hypophyllous. The 

 spores are brown, coming off with a long piece of stalk attached. They 

 are oval, contracting slightly towards the stalk, slightly thickened at the 

 apex which is rounded, and quite smooth on the surface. Among them 

 are a few two-celled spores (Puccinia) and some fewer single celled 

 but much larger spores, possibly though not probably of the nature of 

 uredo-spores. The teleutospores vary considerably in size, 33 — 24 

 X 26 — 18//,, when just moistened. The few two celled spores measured 

 38 — 32 x 24 — 16//,. These spores are also brown, rounded at both ends, 

 smooth, and with little or no constriction at the septum. The large 

 single-celled spores measured 36 — 34 x 27 — 22/t. None of these 

 spores germinated when placed in water ; but they had been preserved 

 some months in botanical drying paper. 



Remarks. — As far as I am able to determine this is a new species 

 and I have named it after the collector.

On Rosa rnoschata, Mill. 



I found this host attacked by a species of Phragmidium early in 

 September. The leaves bore at this time both yellow uredo- and black 

 teleutospore pustules, the latter readily distinguishable from the species 

 on Rubus by their smaller size, and by their irregular and general 

 distribution over the lower leaf surface, instead of being in special cir-
