lines may be of interest to naturalists and others, and 
particularly any of those who may be thinking of a few 
days’ holiday in the locality. 
I have to acknowledge the use of a list of birds from 
Mr. I. W. Helmsing, which was of considerable assistance 
to me in compilation. I must also thank Mr. II. A .Long- 
man, Director, Queensland Museum, for details concern- 
ing reptiles. 
RECORDS OF QUEENSLAND FUNGI.— II. 
By D. A . HERBERT, D.Sc., Department of Biology, 
University of Queensland. 
This list is supplementary to Records of Queensland 
Fungi I., '‘Queensland Naturalist,” IX. (3), 44-46. In 
that list, Puccinia aucta is recorded from Pratia excelsa; 
a correction is necessary, the host being Pratia erecta. 
Basidiomycetae . 
Pucciniaceae — 
Puccinia calendulae, McAlp., on leaves of the English 
marigold, Calendula officinalis. This species de- 
scribed by Me Alpine in 1896 is common in the 
southern States, but has only within the last 
three years become a pest in Queensland. The 
aecidial stage is common at all seasons, but the 
black teleutosori are not uncommon. 
Puccinia calotidis , McAlp., on Calotis hispidula. Coll.: 
S. T. Blake, Windorah, 12/7/1936. McAlpine 
records this from New South Wales from C. cunei- 
folia and Calotis sp. In the Queensland 
material the aecidial stage only is present. 
Puccinia cinerariae, McAlp., on leaves of cultivated 
cineraria. Coll.: F. W. Blackford, Brisbane, 
1318/36. Aecidial stage. This rust is not com- 
mon in Brisbane. 
Puccinia coronaia, Corda, on Lolium rigidum. Coll.: 
D. A. H., Brisbane Botanic Gardens, October, 
1934. As the aecidial stage is not found in Bris- 
bane, I have followed Arthur and Fromme in as- 
signing the fungus to P. coronaia. 
Puccinia distincta, McAlp., on Beilis perennis. This 
fungus was found on seedlings of English daisy 
exposed for sale in Brisbane in 1924, and was 
not noticed again until 1935, when all stages 
were found in various suburbs of the city. It is 
now a fairly common disease of the daisy. 
Uromycladium a J pinum, McAlp., on Acacia decora.
