2. Melampsora bigelowii Thuem. 
On Salix humboldtiana H.B.K. 
Near Patalul, Dept. Solola, Guatemala, C. A. Feb. n, 1906. 
W. A. Kellerman, No. 5418. 
The host determined by R. 
Arthur. The salix occurs very 
in very many of the localities the 
F. Griggs and the fungus by J. C. 
commonly throughout Guatemala, and 
Rust was observed. 
3. Puccinia cannae (Winter) P. Henn. 
Uredospores. 
On Canna indica L. 
Mazatenango, Guatemala, C. A. 
W. A. Kellerman, No. 5357 - 
Feb. 28, 1905. 
The teleutospores were reported by P Hennings on materia 
lected in Brazil, and hence the name as above; but only Uredospores

Winter. Unfortunately the specimens are badly parasitized, as is com¬

4. Puccinia cognita Syd. 
On Verbesina fraseri Hemsl. 
Guatemala City (alt. 1465 m. 4810 ft.), Guatemala. Feb. 1 , IQ 05 . 
W. A. Kellerman, No. 4324. 
The host was determined by B. L. Robinson. Our determination 
of the fungus was verified by J. C. Arthur This is a common Rust on 
a host plant quite widely distributed and abundant. 
5. Puccinia cynanchi Lagerh. 
On Philibertiella crassifolia Hemsl. 
(Host det. John Donnell Smith.) 
Laguna (Lake Amatitlan), alt. 1200 m. (3950 ft.) Depart. Amati-

W. A. Kellerman, No. 4348. 
There is close morphological resemblance between Puccinia g°n°lobi 
Rav. and Puccinia cynanchi Lagerh., and they occur on many hosts. Not
