Herrn.). Three other specialized forms also have been given independent 
specific positions to which I shall refer later on. 
The aecidial stage of the species under consideration is known to occur 
on Anchusa arvensis and A. officinalis in Europe. As there are no species 
of Anchusa in our flora, the aecidial stage may have been altogether 
abbreviated in our country. Anchusa officinalis is cultivated on our College 
farm, but we have not yet found any zEcidium growing upon it. 
The specimens of Puccinia dispersa which I have examined are rather 
scanty in number, as rye is not yet widely cultivated in our country. I have 
specimens only from Sapporo and Morioka. In the vicinity of Sapporo, rye 
is annually atta eked rather severely by the uredospores of this fungus. Its 
teleutospores, however, are seldom found.

Remarks. The f. sp. Tritici of Puccinia dispersa Eriks, et Henn. was 
elevated to a distinct species by ERIKSSON (4) after careful investigations. 
Its aecidial stage is not yet found.
