nomenclature are suggested: Uromyces acutatus Fekl. is restricted to the host Gagea arven- 
sis and is a synonym of U. ornithogali (Sclilect.) Lev. Puccinia porri (Sow.) Wint. should 
include Uredo ambigua DC., Uromyces ambiguus (DC.) Fckl. and Puccinia mixta Fckl.

is not on Glechoma and equals M. helioscopice. Pers. Cronartium gramineum Mont, is a 
gall. Puccinia galii (Pers.) Schw. should include as synonyms P. crucianellce Desmaz.,

asteris Duby, P. cirsiorum Desmaz., P. silphii Schw., P.xantliii Schw A P. leveilleana de 
Toni was previously described by Montague as P. leveillei. P. jurince Rah. is only a 
variety of P. pulvinata Rab., and this should probably include P. jurince Cke. Coleosporium 
baccharidis (Lev ) Cke. includes Uredo baccharidis Lev., Col. baccharidis Cke., and the so- 
called iEcidium portion of P. evadens Wint. (No. 3208, F. Europjei). Uredo baccharidis
