Puccinia arundinariae Schw.— This rare species which 
was reported by Dr. J. C. Arthur in a recent paper 1 as ranging 
from North Carolina to Alabama, was recently collected at 
Votaw, Hardin Co., Tex., March 8, 1904, on leaves of Arundi- 
naria (probably A. macrosperma) by Mr. E. R. Hodson of the 
Bureau of Forestry. 
Puccinia burnetti Griff.— This species was recently dis¬ 
covered in the U. S. National Herbarium on leaves of Eriocoma 
cuspidata Nutt., collected by Sereno Watson (No. 1292) Moni¬ 
tor Valley, Nevada, July 1868. 
Puccinia crandallii Pamm. & Hume.— Specimens of this 
species have recently been examined on Festuca kingii in the U. 
S. National Herbarium from Lima, Mont., on No. 313 C. L. 
Shear, June 30, 1895; Stein Mts., Oreg., on No. 2445 J. B. 
Leiberg, July 2, 1896; Sunset, Col., G. W. Letterman, July 1886; 
Sweetwater Co., Wyo., on No. 3300 Aven Nelson, July, 1897. 
Puccinia cynodontis Desm.— On leaves of Cynodon dac- 
tylon, Lake City, Fla., Ricker and' Hume, July 29, 1902. A small 
amount of uredosporic material was collected near Mr. Hume’s 
house, it being the first time that a Rust has been reported from 
this country on this host. The early descriptions and that in 
Saccardo’s Sylloge Fungorum are rather incomplete but agree 
with the specimen as far as they go. The characters drawn 
from this collection are as follows: 
Uredosori hypophyllous, prominent, rupturing the epider¬ 
mis in linear rows, the epidermis remaining, early naked, pale; 
uredospores ovoid or globose, 19-26 /x in diameter, minutely ver- 
rucose, pores several, scattered, wall medium thick. 
Puccinia deformata B. & C.— On glumes and pedicels of 
Olyra latifolia L., near Mayaguez, Porto Rico, A. A. Heller, 
Jan. 30, 1890. This seems to be a very rare species. It was 
originally collected by Wright in Cuba, and the description was 
rather brief. Our specimen shows the following characters: 
Teleutosori forming conspicuous often irregular ferruginous 
bunches which are often confluent; teleutospores elliptical oblong, 
only very slightly constricted, 19-26 x 28-40 /x, obtuse at the ends, 
apex slightly or not at all thickened, wall thick, golden brown; 
pedicel hyaline, slender, flexous, often attached somewhat lat¬ 
erally, up’ to twice the length of the spore. 
I am indebted to Dr. W. G. Farlow for comparing the speci¬ 
men with the duplicate type in the Cryptogamic Herbarium of 
Harvard University. 
Puccinia haleniae Arth. & Holway.— On Gentiana caly- 
cosa Griseb., Teton Mts., above Leighs Lake, Wyo., No. 1109 
Merrill & Wilcox, July 26, 1901. The material agrees in every re- 
1 Bot. Gaz. 34:19, 1902.
