REMARKS. There are three species of Puccinia known at present to be 
parasitic on Pollinia. They are Puccinia Eulalia ?, P. Pollinice and P. 
cestivalis. 
Puccinia Eulalite and P. cestivalis have already been found in our 
country and the uredospores and paraphyses differ entirely from those of 
this species. Now, when comparing the present species to Puccinia Polli- 
nice, I noticed two points of difference between them. ( 1) Our species has 
numerous germ-pores while they are three in the case of Puccinia Pollinice. 
(2) Paraphyses are irregularly bent in our species, while they are capitate 
in Puccinia Pollinice. I shall call this species provisionally under the present 
name until its teleutospores will be found. 
7. Uredo inflexa S. Itö. n. sp.— (PI. XII. Fig. 12). 
Uredosoj'i, hypophyllous ; minute, roundish or oblong, on discolored 
spots, scattered or subgregarious, sometimes confluent, naked, pulverulent, 
brownish yellow. Uredospores, broadly ellipsoidal, subglobose or piriform, 
echinulate, 28-40 x 20-26/.* ; paraphyses numerous, curved, clavate, light 
yellowish, 40-45 x 5-9/*.

Remarks. Among the description of the uredosori of many Puccinia 
on Bambuseae, that of Puccinia melanocephala Syd., of India approaches- 
most closely to the present Uredo. But as our species is still lacking its- 
teleutostage, the exact identification can hardly be made. But the uredosori 
are amphigenous in the Indian species, while they are all hypophyllous in 
ours. The epispore is a little thinner in our species. The paraphyses are 
curved in ours. I shall call the fungus under consideration by the present 
name, until its other stages will be found.
