THE UREDINEAE AND USTILAGINEAE OF
ESSEX.—Part II.
By F. J. CHITTENDEN, Technical Laboratories, Chelmsford.
THE following notes are drawn up from material sent me by
various correspondents, or collected by myself since the
publication of my first paper under the above title in the Essex
Naturalist XII (1904), p. 283. Only species previously
unrecorded, or of which there are few records, are included
in this list, an asterisk (*) in front of the name indicating the
species not previously recorded.
The number of species of Uredineae and Ustilagineae known
to occur in the county is now brought up to 113, and all are
recorded in the pages of this Journal.1
My thanks are due to the gentlemen named in the following
list who have assisted in the increase of our knowledge regarding
the distribution of these fungi. All the specimens named below
are in my herbarium. The sign ! following a locality indicates
that the specimen was collected by myself, and the sign j pre-
ceding the name of a "host" means that this host is not
mentioned in Plowright's Monograph of the British Uredineae and
Ustilagineae.
