in 1903.

Ficus sp. indet., Jayuya, March i, 426. 
This species was also collected on Ficus Carica L., at San 
Juan, Porto Rico, May, 1903, F. S. Earle, jj. 
Although this rust is doubtless common wherever figs are 
grown, yet the only other collections that are represented in the 
Arthur Herbarium from the West Indies are from Santiago de 
las Vegas, Cuba, on F. Carica, by W. T. Horne, March 13, 1906, 
and by Mel. T. Cook, July 21, 1906. 
Until recently no teliospores of this species have been known. 
They were found in India by E. J. Butler (1. c.) on Ficus glome- 
rata. Mr. Butler has given a good description of the fungus, 
with a figure showing germination of the teliospores. The as- 
signment of the species to Kuehneola seems the best disposition 
of it that can be made at present. It should be borne in mind, 
however, that the position of the species remains doubtful so 
long as the full life history is not known. It may be assumed 
that pycnia and primary uredo may occur in a region where 
teliospores are produced, but when teliospores are absent and the 
reproduction is by secondary uredo there is no possibility of 
pycnia occurring.
