slightly attenuated, ends obtuse, 3—6 septate, mostly 4—5 septate, 
hyaline 45—90 x 2—4. A Macrosporium sometimes occurs spar¬ 
ingly on the same spots. On Ceanothus ovatus , Manhattan, Kansas. 
Puccinia Schedonnardi, Kell. & Swingle.—II. Sori amphig- 
enous, but mostly hypophyllous, soon erumpent, surrounded by tlie 
ruptured epidermis, small (one-fifth to one-half millimetre in 
diameter) oval or oblong, solitary. Uredospores dull orange, 
globular, 20 — 25 micr. diameter, mostly 22 micr., always free 
from pedicels when mature, covered with short sparse tubercles; 
pedicels subpersistent, hyaline or slightly tinted, enlarged at tip, 
base 3— 5 micr. in diameter, tip 5—8 micr. 
III. Sori amphigenous, small (one-sixth to one-half millimetre 
in diameter) mostly circular, solitary or rarely confluent, though 
often abundant; teleutospores clear brown slightly constricted at 
the middle and often slightly thickened at the apex, subglobose, 
oval or oval-oblong, 27—35 x 20—26, mostly 28—30 x 21—24, 
pedicel variable, tapering, tinted, usually once to thrice as long as 
the spores. On leaves and sheaths of Schedonnardus Texarius.

aEcidium Fumariacearum, Kell, & Swingle.—Spots none; 
ascidii growing on stem, petioles and leaves of Corydalis aurea. 
var. occidentalis, and on petioles and leaves of Dicentra cucullaria; 
when on leaves occupying definite areas, somewhat crowded, 
amphigenous but mostly hypophyllous, more scattered on the stems 
which are more or less distorted. Peridium cylindrical, short 
(J —i millimetre long), J \ millimetre in diameter; margin 
usually irregularly torn, moderately refloxed, the peridial cells 
crumbling away and leaving the margin nearly even and entire, white 
below, polygonal, mostly longer than broad, above nearly oval, 
27—36 x i2—27, mostly 24 - 30 x 15—24. Spores globose or 
globose-oval, dull orange yellow, cell-wall rather thin, surface 
covered with numerous minute tubercles, 18—24 x 16—20, mostly 
20—24 x 17—19. On Corydalis aurea. var. occidentalis and 
Dicentra cucullaria April and May, 1888, Manhattan, Kansas, also
