Uromyces amygdali, credited to Cooke in report on Insect and 
Fungous Pests, No. 1, by Henry Tryon, issued by tbe Department of 
Agriculture, Queensland, Australia, is doubtless Uromyces amygdali, 
Passer,; see the above report, page 07, Leaf Bust and Shedding of 
Foliage ( TJromyces amygdali). At any rate this u Uromyces’’ turns out 
to be the uredo of Pucciniapruni, Pers. (See also Sacc. Syll. vol. VII, 
p. 648.) A series of excellent specimens lias been received by the 
Division of Vegetable Pathology from two points in South Australia, 
collected on peach, plum, apricot, and almond leaves by Mr. F. S. 
Crawford and Mr. B. H. Simons. In some of these specimens the 
teleutospores have developed, and are present in great numbers in the 
same sori with the uredospores. They agree in every particular with 
specimens of Puccinia pruni, Pers. on peach and plum hosts in the 
United States. 
Uromyces sopiior^e, Peck, in Bulletin Torrey Bot. Club, Vol. XII, 
No. 4, p. 35, and Uromyces hyalinus, Peck, in Bot. Gaz. 1878, p. 34, are 
identical, and both again referable to the widely dispersed and conse¬ 
quently somewhat variable Uromyces trifolii, (Hedew.) Leveille. 
Entyloma crastopiiilum, Sacc., and Entyloma irregularis, 
Johausou, are the same species, judging from the two specimens in the 
Herbarium of the Division of Vegetable Pathology—Krieger, Fungi 
Saxonici, 202; Entyloma crastophilum , Sacc. (Michelia I, p. 540, Sep¬ 
tember 15, 1879), on Agrostisf W. Krieger leg; and Eriksson, Fungi 
Parasitici Scandinavici 259; Entyloma irregularis, Johausou, on Poa 
annua, C. J. Johausou coll. In the former specimen the spores are more 
angular than in the latter; the color is almost the same and the meas¬ 
urements of both are the same. As I make them, the measurements are 
6-10 by 8-20/q but rarely over 16/i long. 
Saccardo’s description was published first, hence Entyloma crastopiii¬ 
lum , Sacc, has precedence. 
Ustilago succis^e, Magnus, U. scabiosce, (Somer.) Wint. and U. in¬ 
termedia, Schroeter, as given in Saccardo’s Sylloge, vol. VII, p. 475 and 
476, appear to be one species. They all occur in the anthers of Scabiosa 
columbarice and Scabiosa arvensis: the name, Knautia arvensis, given 
in the Sylloge, is simply the old name of Scabiosa arvensis. Ustilago in¬ 
termedia only differs from the other forms in its darker and more evi¬ 
dently reticulated spores, and does not seem to be more than a variety 
of U. scabiosce, to which the other forms should be referred, and it is 
doubtful whether it deserves even varietal rank. 
The notes now following were made directly from Berkeley & Curtis’s 
type specimens in the Herbarium of the U. S. North Pacific Exploring 
Expedition under Commanders Binggold and Bogers, 1853-56. C. 
Wright collected the specimens.
