No. 19. PUCCINIA RECONDITA D. & H. belongs 
under P. conferta D. & H. This species is also found in Wash¬ 
ington, New Mexico and Oklahoma. 
No. 26. PUCCINIA MAGNOECIA E. & E. The only 
character that definitely separates this species from P. Asteris 
Duby is the large sorus, and even this sometimes shows all gra¬ 
dations to the small sorus. The type of the species which is in 
the herbarium of the N. Y. Botanical Garden has recently been 
examined at my request by Dr. Rydberg and Professor Earle, 
and is found to be Aster Cusickii A. Gr., not A. pulchellus, as 
heretofore supposed. The form with large sorus is found upon 
other species of aster, however, and is essentially the same in 
appearance as P. Gerardii Pk., which is no longer maintained as 
a separate species. It can not be foretold what cultures, and more 
extended study, may develop, but at present there seems to be 
no good reason for maintaining the forms with large sori as sep¬ 
arate species. 
No, 62. PUCCINIA CYANI (Schleich.) Pass, has re¬ 
cently been found in the United States by Charles H. Peck at 
Menands, N. Y. (see Rep. N. Y. St. Mus. for 1903:25). 
No. 49. PUCCINIA CICHORII (DC.) Bell, was found 
at Burlington, Vt., Aug. 11, 1898, by T. E. Hazen, and at Oaks 
Corners, N. Y., Sept. 16, 1904, by H. S. Jackson. 
No. 76. PUCCINIA ENDIVIAE Pass, was reported from 
this country last year, having been collected at Hamden, Ct., Oct. 
14, 1903, by G. P. Clinton (Rep. Conn Exper. Sta. for 1903 1321). 
No. 80. PUCCINIA INCLUSA Syd. is a synonym of P. 
Cirsii Lasch, without any doubt, as in fact the authors indicate 
in the appendix. 
No. 82. PUCCINIA CALIFORNICA Diet, is also a syn¬ 
onym of the variable species P. Cirsii Lasch. 
No. 122. PUCCINIA CONFLUENS Syd. is but an inci¬ 
dental variation of P. Erigerontis E. & E. The species has also 
been collected on Erigeron Eatoni at Laramie Hills, Wyo., Aug. 
8, 1901, by Aven Nelson, and on E. microlonchus at Willow Creek, 
Wyo., July 1, 1898, by Elias Nelson. 
No. 141. PUCCINIA GUTIERREZIAE E. & E. is a 
synonym of P. Grindeliae Pk. 
No. 173. PUCCINIA LAGOPHYLLAE D. & H. should 
be made a synonym of P. Hemizoniae E. & T. 
No. 197. PUCCINIA NARDOSMIAE E. & E. appears to 
be a synonym of P. conglomerata (Str.) K. & S. The host genus 
is very closely related to Homogyne, on which the European rust 
has been collected, and the fungus from the two countries does 
not appear to differ.
