Burr, on Collomia (linearis,?) ; and a smut on a depauperate 
grass which Dr. G. P. Clinton identified as Ustilago mulfordi- 
ana E. & E. on Festuca tenella. The next day, an enjoyable 
ride over the Bitter Boot mountains brought me to Wallace, 
Idaho. A short walk up one of the gulches that debouch 
into the little valley that affords scant room for the town 
showed Septoria cerastii Bob. & Desm. on Cerastium arvense; 
Septoria rubi West, on Rubus parviflorus; Septoria grossulariae 
(Lib.) West, on Ribes cereum —the distinctions between this 
species and Septoria ribis Desm. are not clear to me; Septoria 
silenicola Sacc. on Silene menziesii; and Septoria salicifoliae 
(Trel.) E. & E. on Spiraea (corymbosa? ). The latter fungus was 
quite abundant on the Spiraea leaves, and the sporules are 
longer than in Wisconsin specimens on Spiraea salicifolia, 
having a maximum length of at least 100 microns. Here also 
was found a fungus on the leaves of Ranunculus lyalli that 
seems to be the same as that which occurs in Wisconsin on 
Ranunculus abortivus and is referred to Septocylindrium ra¬ 
nunculi Pk.; also Puccinia cirsii Lasch. II on Cnicus edulis, 
and Puccinia recedens Syd. on Senecio balsamitae. 
The evening of July 5th found me in Spokane, Washington. 
The next morning, finding that I had an hour to spare, I took a 
street car to the end of the line, where I had ten minutes be¬ 
tween cars. The herbal flora consisted mostly of three species 
of Lupinus, and each species yielded a fungal parasite. On 
one was found Phyllostica ferax E. & E. The second lupine 
had curled and partially dried leaves, giving the appearance 
of having been scorched. The leaves were so hairy that I 
did not see the fungus at the time, but on examining them 
after my return home I found it to be the same that I had col¬ 
lected on Lupinus stiversi in California in 1895 and that was 
described as Ovularia (?) globifera E. & E. (Bull. Torr. Bot. 
Club, xxiv: 471—1897). I am indebted to Dr. Earlow for the 
information that the herbarium name Tuberculina lupini Earl. 
(Bull. Iowa Agric. Coll., 1886) was applied to the same plant, 
but that it is really an Hadrotrichum and probably H. lupini 
E. & E. (Bull. Torr . Bot. Club, xxvii: 59—1900). Under 
the rule of priority it becomes necessary to use the name
