 examined and found to be Puccinia Holhoellii, on some crucifer, 

 probably Arabis.

 Veronica alpina must be known. It is very common in the 

 Canadian Mountains, occurring above timber line or on the 

 moraines near the ice.

 This species has not been hitherto reported for North America, 

 but it is abundant at about 6,500 feet elevation on Mt. Ranier, 

 growing on Veronica Cusickii. 



Puccinia trifoliata E. & E. 

 This proves to be Puccinia Osmorrhizae C. & P., on Osmor-

Puccinia pallida Tracy 

 This is Puccinia Anemones-virginianae Schw., on some Anem-
