Obs. From the spore, in the broad sense, aricp 
by germination a promycelium, which produces 
sporidiola (not sporidia, as many say),” - 
Approved subject to the following alterations. Myxomycetae 
should be expunged in favour of the term Mycetozoa which more 
nearly indicates the doubtful nature of these organisms. Omi 
flocci under Gastromycetae. To Phycomycetae add sporangio. 
phora, and columella. In Discomycetae use spore instead of 
sporidia. And in Sphaeropsidaceae and Melanconiaceae omit 
basidia.

VIII. “Fungi imperfecti, or Deuteromycetae, are to be cited 
and described along with their perfect stages (Gf these are clearly 
indicated). They should also be described separately in syste. 
matic works under their own name and with their form relatives, 
or at least cited there, with a reference to the place where they 
are described with the perfect forms. 
“The advantage of describing separately all the forms of 
imperfect fungi arises from the fact that we are entirely ignorant 
of the perfect stages to which the vast majority of this immense 
group belong, and that these forms are for the most part widely 
removed from the perfect stage, whence the great difficulty of 
determining whether one form or another has already been de- 
scribed (without a name) under its perfect stage. From this 
rule should be excepted species of the genus Uredo, which are 
most frequently associated with the  teleutospore _ stage 
(Uromyces, Puccinia, &c.\, with which alone they should be de- 
scribed. But species of Aecidium, Epitea, Caeoma and 
Accidiolum are to be described or at least cited separately 
Conidial stages of Peronospora and Cystopus are to be described 
but once, in connection with the perfect stages.” 
Approved: 
IX. “The names of fungi which do not show metagenesis 
should conform to the rules of nomenclature for other plants, but 
the metagenetic Uredinaceae and Ascomycetae should follow 
especial rules.” 
Approved. 
X. “The proper name of one of the Uredinaceac 1s that 
applied to the teleutospore stage, the secondary name 1s that 
given to one of the earlier stages (Uredo, E pitea, Cacomi, 
Aecidium, Aecidiolum). Moreover, when the name of an earlier 
stage of any species is found to have been published before the 
name of the correlated perfect stage, it 1s not permissible to 
transfer the name of the imperfect stage to the perfect one upo?
