South Australia, vol. xiv, Adelaide, July, 1891, pp. 55-60. 
Part I deals with tho rusts and smuts (Uredinece and Uslilaginece) giving a list of 45 
species. Part II gives a list of the fungous enemies of Eucalyptus and Acacia, 22 in all. 
Of these, the following are named as new species, the authority given being Saccardo, ex¬ 
cept for the last. No descriptions are given. Ceriornyces incomptus , Ithamphoria tenella, 
Phyllosticta phyllodiorum, Se r ptoria phyllodiorum , and Uredo notabilis Ludvv. Part III is on 
the position of Clatlcrus (1 leodictyon) tepperianus Ludw., noting that it should probably be 
united with G. gracilis and C. cibarius under the latter name. (J. E. J.)

Gives a list of 27 species (1 Gystopus, 2 Ustilago, 6 Uromyces, 7 Puccini a. 3 Gymnosporan- 
gium, 1 Phrdgmidium, 2 Mdlampsora, 3 JEcidium , 1 lihyti&ma, 1 Pleospora), with localities 
and host plants. Gives notes on TTromyces Icevis Koernicke, making Sydow Ured.lMo. 101 on 
Euphorbia gerardiana, If. Icevis var. trachyspora and Rabenhorst Herb. Myc. No. 299 (pro 
parte); on Euphorbia verrucosa he makes TJ. sculellatus Schrank var. leptoaerma. Thinks 
Magnus and Dietelmay be mistaken in referring 17. Icevis to Uredo excavata DC., which 
the author thinks more probably identical with Melampsora euphorbice dulcis Otth. (W. T. S.)

Recommends the following rules to phytographers: (1) Give concise diagnoses of a new 
species, not extended accounts of its morphology and biology without any clear statement of 
its distinguishing characters : (2) Diagnoses sliould be in clear and concise form, giving the 
important and distinctive characters; remarks on details should be given after the diag¬ 
nosis, and it is necessary to indicate the relationships of the species; (3) The name of the 
original author of a species that has been removed to another genus should be given in paren¬ 
thesis as the author of the species, and outside the parenthesis should be placed the name of 
the person who transferred the species to another genus; (4) The scientific name of the 
host organism sliould always be given in describing parasitic species; (5) The metric system 
should bo used in giving the size of organs; for microscopic measurements, micromillimeters 
of mikra (n) are to be employed instead of fractions; (C) Forexpressing concisely the dimen¬ 
sions of microscopic organs the length should first be given, then the width, the numbers being 
connected by the sign and the sign n omitted. The sign 7^ (which the author proposed 
in 1872) has the advantage over the signs =, : , X of not having a different and definite
