** Spores reticulate. (Tilletia.) 
TILLETIA TRITICI (Bjerk.) Wint.—Host: Triticum 
vulgare, la., Kans., Mich., Minn., Nev., N. J., Ohio, W. Virg. on 
leaves (?). 
TILLETIA ANTHOXANTHI Blytt.—Host: Anthoxan- 
thum odoratum, Conn. 
This species was first described in 1896 from Norway. It 
has not been reported very often. The writer found it the past 
summer at New Haven, Conn. Apparently this is the only time 
it has been collected in this country. 
TILLETIA ELYMI Diet. & Holw.—Hosts: Elymus glau~ 
cus, Mont.; Elymus sp., Wash. (type). 
TILLETIA CEREBRINA Ell. & Ev.—Host: Deschampsia 
caespitosa, Rocky Mts. (type). 
TILLETIA MONTANA Ell. & Ev.—Hosts. Redfieldia 
flexuosa, Neb.; Sporobolus gracillimus, Rocky Mts. (type). 
TILLETIA FUSCA Ell. & Ev. — Hosts : Festuca micro- 
stachya, Rocky Mts. (type), Wash.; F. tenella, Ida., Mont.* 
Ore., Wyo. 
TILLETIA ASPERIFOLIA Ell. & Ev. — Hosts : Sporob¬ 
olus asperifolius Colo., Mont., N. Mex., Ore., Rocky Mts. (type). 
Wash., Wy.; ?S. simplex, Mont. 
*** Spores verruculose. (Tilletia.) 
TILLETIA MACLAGANI (Berk.) Clint, n. nom.—UstL 
lago maclagani Berk., Grev. 3 :58~9. 1874. Ustilago rotundata 
Arth., Bull. Ia. Agr. Coll. 1884:173. 1884. Tilletia rotundata* 
Ell. & Ev., N. A. F. no 1894. 1887. Tilletia rotundata Mass., 
Kew Bull. 153:145. 1899. 
Host: Panicum virgatum, Conn., Ia. (type U. rotundata).. 
Kans., Neb., Montreal (type). 
The writer is indebted to Massee for a specimen of Berk¬ 
eley’s type of Ustilago maclagani and this proves to be the same 
as Arthur’s Ustilago rotundata. The smut is evidently a Tilletia 
though its germination has not been reported. 
'* Ellis and Everhart called the fungus Ustilago rotundata Arth., but 
said it was evidently a Tilletia and therefore American botanists have 
since called the fungus Tilletia rotundata (Arth.) Ell. & Ev.
