S. ITO. 
has a smooth or scarcely echinulate wall with a few germpores (1-3). 
However, according to him, there are transitional forms between these tw'o 
kinds. I have observed only the latter kind of uredospores in Japanese 
specimens. 
Lately, W. TRANZCHEL (2) proved the genetic relation of the present 
species by infection experiments to JEcidiunt Plantaginis on Plantago 
lanceolata in Russia. At about same time, Fr. Bubdk (1) also obtained the 
similar results, but he failed to prove the relationship of the TEcidia on 
Plantago major , P. media, P. Cynops and P. Psyllum with this species. 
/Ecidium Plantaginis on Plantago major occurs very commonly in our 
country, but TEcidium on Plantago lanceolata is not yet found. 
In 1908, DlETKL (12) described this fungus sent from Japan as a new 
species under the name of Puccinia various. His description correspond 
closely that of Pticcinia Cynodontis, but he did not give any remarks on the 
affinity with the latter species.
