In inflorescence of Sitanion hystrix (Nutt.) J. G. Smith: 228^, 

 June 16, 191 5, near sand dunes between Garfield and Saltair, Salt 

 Lake Co. The host was determined by Mrs. Agnes Chase. No 

 smut has previously been reported on this host. The smut was 

 sent to Dr. Clinton, who writes, under date of October 20, 191 5, 

 I am not sure whether the fungus represents a new species or 

 not. It is close to Ustilago Lorentziana and U . hromivora. I 

 have placed it provisionally under U. Lorentziana (?), but am 

 not quite satisfied with that disposition." 



13. Ustilago macrospora Desmaz. 



In leaves of Elymus canadensis L., Salt Lake City, May, 1915. 

 A collection from Utah on Agropyron sp. is recorded in N. A.
