mentioned by Matsumura (i) in his Index, and seven by Shirai (i) 
in his List. 
In the present paper, I have been able to increase the number of species 
of Puccinia on the Japanese Umbelliferae to eighteen, among which four 
species are apparently new. They are P. Angelicce-edulis, P. Miyabeana, 
P. QZnanthes , and P. ligusticicola. If we add to these, P. tokyensis, P. 
Nanbuana, and P. angelicicola, seven species may be counted as peculiar 
to our country. P. Saniculce, P. Bupleuri-falcati , P. Chcerophylli, P Pirn- 
pinellce, P. A ngelicce, P. bullata, and P. Bulbocastani are widely distributed 
in Asia, Europe, and America ; P. Osvtoi'rhizce in Asia and America ; 
P. Icioderma in Asia and Europe ; and P. Phcllopteri in Asia only. 
The total number of specimens I have examined amounts to more than 
two hundred. They were collected from all parts of Japan, from Liukiu 
in the south to Hokkaido in the north. The greater part of these materials 
are the specimens preserved in the Herbarium of Sapporo Agricultural 
College. They were kindly placed in my hand for study by Prof. MlYABE. 
In the present paper, the monographs of LlNDROTH (i) and SYDOWS (2) 
were freely consulted in the description of the stages not yet found in 
our country. 
To Prof. Y. Yabe I am indebted for the determination of some host- 
plants. I am also under obligation to Prof. G. YAMADA, Messrs. Y. Taka- 
hashi, N. Hiratsuka, S. Kusano, T. Nishida, J. Hanzawa, T. Yoshi- 
NAGA, and E. TOKUBUCHI, for their kindness in sending me many valuable 
specimens. To these gentlemen I tender my thanks for their kindness. 
In conclusion, I wish to express my heartiest thanks to Professor 
Dr. K. MlYABE, for his kind help and advice during the progress of my work 
in the botanical laboratory under his direction.
