EXPERIMENTS UPON THE HETERCECISM OF THE UREDINES. 57 
Uromyces junci and Mcidium zonale. 
Exp. 40. — Germinating Uromyces junci was on the 25th May 
placed on three plants of Inula dysenterica. On 4th June yellow 
spots appeared on all these plants, which by the 21st developed 
into perfect ^ Ecidium zonale. 
Exp. 42. — Germinating Uromyces junci was placed on two plants 
of Inula dysenterica on 29th May. On 12th June abundant yellow 
spots were noticed, which by the 21st had developed into perfect 
sEcidium zonale. 
Exp. 64. — Three plants of Inula dysenterica were on 8th June 
infected with Uromyces junci ; by 30th perfect sEcidium zonale was 
abundantly produced on all three plants. To this experiment 
three control plants were kept which remained perfectly free from 
the fungus. 
Peridermium pini and Coleosporium senecionis. 
Exp. 31. — Two plants of Senecio vulgaris were on the 13th 
May infected with Peridermium pini. On 2nd June the Coleo- 
sporium appeared on both plants. 
Exp. 54. — Four plants of Senecio vulgaris were on 7th June in- 
fected with Peridermium pini. On 28 th the Coleosporium appeared. 
Many plants of Senecio vulgaris existed in the garden, but none 
of them, either at the time these experiments were performed, nor 
before, nor since, have had any trace of the fungus upon them.
