Lynn, and by Mr. Soppitt at Bradford. 
Subjoined is a tabular summary of these cultures : —

Uromyces lineol&tus, Besmaz. 
JEcidiospores = JEcidium glaucis. 
Uredospores. Sori minute, linear or punctiform, scattered or 
confluent, long covered by the epidermis, brown, spores oval or 
shortly elliptical or subglobose, brown, rough, 25-30 x 18-25 p. 
Teleutospores. Sori minute, punctiform or linear, when dry 
covered by the epidermis, when moist exposed by the gaping of 
the edges. Spores very pale brown, smooth, fusiform, or elliptical ; 
apex thickened, 30-45 x 15-20 p, pedicels short, 20-25 p. 
iEcidiospores on Glaux maritima. 
Uredospores and teleutospores on Scirpus maritimus. 
The life history of the iEcidium on Glaux maritima was worked 
out in 1890 with the assistance of Mr. Peake, junr., of Hull, who 
was kind enough, in August, 1889, to conduct me to its habitat at 
Paul, on the banks of the Humber. The Scirpus was found in fair 
abundance, but the inconspicuous Uromyces is easily overlooked, as 
the Scirpus is frequently spotted with other fungi in a far more 
striking manner. The teleutospores germinated in April, 1890, 
and when applied to the foliage of the Glaux gave rise to the secidio- 
spores in 14 days. I was at first disposed to regard the Uromyces 
as a distinct species ( U. maritima ), but am now satisfied that it is 
identical with that of Desmazieres.

Revision of the Genus Triphragmium, Link. 
By G. Massee. 
Judging from the descriptions given in systematic works the 
teleutospores in Triphragmium — on which the specific characters 
are almost entirely based — would appear to be very constant ; 
such, however, is not by any means the case in any described 
species, as shown by the accompanying figures, where the variety 
of forms figured were not specially sought for, but in each species 
show the different forms seen in a single preparation. Magnus
