It will be seen that the following well-known diseases are represented: 
The downy mildew of the tomato and grape, the rust of clover and 
grass, leaf blight of the rose, white-rot of the grape, and anthracnose 
of the bean. The latter disease, as well as some of the others, have 
been quite fully illustrated and described in the reports of this Section. 
It is to be regretted that the descriptive part of this work is Italian; 
notwithstanding this, however, it seems to us that it would prove a 
valuable acquisition to the collection of every experiment station.

III. SYDOW’S UREDINEiE. 
The following is a condensed list of the contents of Fascicle III of 
Sydow’s exsiccati, designed to contain only species of the rust fungi, or 
order Uredinecc. Fascicles I and II were issued some time ago; each 
fascicle contains fifty specimens. The specimens are large and well 
mounted, and, with the exception of the written labels, the work is al¬ 
together a very satisfactory one :
