Some Alaskan and Yukon Rusts, The Plant World, Vol. 14, 233, 1911, by J. C. Arthur. So far as I know these are the only reports upon collections of American arctic fungi. There have V)cen other collections of phanerogamous plants but usually if the collectors of such plants are not looking for fungi they remove discoloured and deformed parts when they do not or cannot select clean, healthy- looking specimens. Anyone who has observed the greatly varied and abundant fungus flora of rich woods in southern Canada and contrasted it with the scanty and pooily developed flora in an exposed and comparatively arid ngion is prepared to believe that within the Arctic circle the fungi will be very meagerly represented. In the report on the cryptogamic botany of Alaska published for the Harri- man Alaska Expedition in 1903-04, the editor, Dr. William Trelease, notes that up to that time only 14 species of fungi had been listed.' Commenting thereupon, he says: "The fact remains that almost nothing is known of the fungus flora of Alaska and yet conditions are favourable for a development there of a large representation of this group of plants." He referred to the rainfall and fo^ aud mists common on the long coastal region favouring as they do a large and varied phanerogamic vegetation. Besides, the lower coast of Alaska from Sitka and Yakutat to Kadiak, v^here much of the Harriman expedition's collecting was done, is nearly 500 miles soMth of the Arctic circle. That so few Alaskan fu. had been enumerated prior to 1900 is the more surprising in view of the fact that at the same date no less than 386 Alaskan species and varieties of their congeners — the lichens — had been listed.' Greenland's long coast-line both on the east and west sides has been explored at many points by scientists connected with several Danish and other expedi- tions; and while, doubtless, there will yet be important additions made, its fungus flora is much more completely studied than that of any other extensive region of arctic America. , In making comparisons it must be borne in mind, however, that its southern point is more than 450 miles south of the Arctic circle.

Fungi a c The collections enumerated in this report were made between lat. 67° X. and lat 77° N., chiefly along the northern coast-line of the Yukon and Mackenzie districts; the positions of most of the localities are stated in the introduction to Part A of Vol. V. The median Une of the chief collecting points runs from near Point Barrow to Eathurst inlet, a distance, following the coast, of over 1,200 miles and averaging about 150 miles north of the Arctic circle. The collections made in the territory near the mouth of the Sadlcrochit river and in the northeast corner of Alaska are not separated in the above table from the strictlj' Canadian ones. The time and locality of collection of the plants herein listed are given, as exactly as the available data permitted, and, further to identify the particular plant on which the micromyeete was observed, the number of the plant as preserved in the National Herbarium, Victoria Memorial Museum, Ottawa, is added. Thus under Pleospora arctica, 98416 is the herbarium numljcr of the particular specimen of Oxytropis campestris var. sordida upon which this fungus was studied. Mr. Frits Johansen was the collector in all instances where no other name is given. John Dearness. London, Ontario, November 27, 1922.

On Dnjas itiUgri folia M. \ahl. Hernard iiarbour. July "), H)10. In the dense mass of small revolute leaves three fungi were found, namely Mi/coftphaerella pachyasca, Pleospara sp., and a few leaves with a Maxxaria-like species which is prol)at)ly Massarina Dryadis Hostr. In the original description Rostrup tloes not give the measurenieiit.s. The sporidia here were 3-septate, constricted, 30-35 m lotig and 15 /u wide in the widest part. Rostrup, found his species on dead leaves of Dryas from Greenland. Trelease found what he thought might be Rostrup'.s species on Dnjus integrifolia collected by Murdoch at Point Barrow, Alaska, upon which he makes the remark "not entirely mature." The collector's note reads: "A yellow funcus-blight turning the leaves of the common Dryas a yellow colour." From tl.. material examined I could not determine which, if any, of the fungi found caused the blighting of the leaves. Pleospora arctica Fuckl. On Oxytropis cainptxlrix (]..)

And.Tson in February, 19 G, furnish an unsolved problem. Mucedo-like i.-fts, concolorous with the dead leaves were found on nearly ev-ry leaf of th<' twigs collected but sjiore? were not found in situ Failure > >e functions of the twig may have caused the deijth ot the leaves and dL .tions of the latter strengthened this suiiposition. 1 sub- mitted affected material to Mr. J. R. Weir, Forest Pathologist at NVashington, DC who replied that he had not before seen spruce leaves in this condition. He is disposed to agree with me that the fungus is saprophytic. A distorted twig taken at the first named collection suggested to Mr. Jtihansen the effects pro- duced by some species of Peridermivm. In it I found the sloughs of Lhermcs- like insects but nothing else. LIST OF NEW SPECIES AND VARIETIES Mycosphaerella immersa n. sp. " minor (Karst.) var. reticulata n. sp.
