seems warranted by the description and I have so labeled the 
specimens. Ramularia modesta Sacc. should therefore be elided 
from the list. 
The fungus on Aster given in the provisional list as Ramu¬ 
laria asteris (Trel.) Barth, appears to be conspecific with Fusi- 
dium (?) Asteris Phil. & Plowr. ( Grevillea 6:23) which has 
been referred to Ramularia by Bubak (Ann. My col. 6:27). The 
name should therefore be written Ramularia asteris (Phil. & 
Plowr.) Bubak, as is done by Vestergren in Micromycetes 
rariores selecti 1094 except that he followed Saccardo and Bubak 
in transposing the names of the authors of the specific name. 
By some oversight Urocystis anemones (Pers.) Schroet. was 
omitted from the provisional list. I am indebted to Professor 
J. Gr. Sanders for calling my attention to the omission. The 
smut is common on Hepatica triloba, H. acutiloba and Anemone 
quinquefolia and was reported by Trelease in the preliminary 
list as occurring on Anemone canadensis. 
Aecia of TJromyces were collected on Trifolium pratense and 
T. hybridum at Madison by W. H. Davis. They have also been 
collected on the latter host at Melvina. 
Puccinia bartholomaei Diet, was included in the provisional 
list because of an Aecidium on Asclepias syriaca which occurs 
in the state which proves however to be connected with Puc¬ 
cinia seymouriana Arth. instead. (Arthur, Mycologia, 8:134). 
My observations both at Bacine and Madison lead me to be¬ 
lieve that this rust may overwinter on Spartina probably as 
mycelium. 
Specimens of the Roestelia stage of Gymnosporangium globo- 
sum Farl. on Crataegus collected at Maiden Bock and St. Croix 
Falls in 1916 have peridial cells but 40-60/* long. Perhaps 
the dwarfing was due to the unusually hot weather. 
Peridermium comptoniae (Arth.) Orton & Adams was ob¬ 
served in June 1916 at Millston in Jackson County. Its pres¬ 
ence is most easily detected after a rain when the fresh son 
appear. I find it usually on the east side of the trunk near the 
base. In this region rain is usually preceded by easterly winds 
hence the fresh sporidia are most likely to be lodged on the east
