Remarks. Sydqw (i) notices the presence of a species of coronate 
Puccinia on Hierochloe sp. in Europe without giving any description. Our 
•fungus may be identical with the European species. The present species 
can easily be distinguished from common Puccinia coronata by the epiphyll- 
ous position and larger size of its teleutosori. The general appearance of 
the teleutospore resembles that of Puccinia Epigejos , but it differs in its 
longer and more or less divergent processes at the apex. Moreover, the 
uredospore of the present species is in general smaller in size than that of the 
species just referred to. 
The length of the lower cell of its teleutospore is very variable, some 
reaching even 70//, which is in fact longer than the largest teleutospores in 
Puccinia coronata. A similar fungus is found on Stipa sibirica ? collected 
at Morioka by Prof. G. Yamada, and I have placed it in, the present species.
