ResumoA botanical expedition was made to Santo Domingo in the spring of 1926 by Rafael A. Toro, of the Insular Experiment Station, Porto Rico, and the writer. We reached the island March 9 and left April 1. The trip was made possible by the cooperation of the Department of Agriculture and Labor of Porto Rico and the University of Porto Rico. All kinds of fungi were collected. The writer was especially interested in the rusts. Altogether about 400 numbered collections were made. In a paper entitled Fungi of Santo Domingo?I (Mycologia 19: 66-84, 1927) Toro has reported on the collections of Phycomycetes, Ascomycetes, and Fungi Imperfecti. His paper reports 97 species. Prior to this paper, published reports of the fungi of Santo Domingo have been scattered and are comparatively meager. In his paper, Toro reviews very thoroughly the litera? ture dealing with Santo Domingan fungi. The present paper reports the collections of rusts made by Kern and Toro. In the following list our names and the year are omitted for our collections. In addition to our collections, I am including some made by Doctor M. F. Barrus, of Cornell University, who collected in Santo Domingo during January and February, 1926. Since the publication of this paper has been delayed, I am able to include some specimens collected in May, 1927, by Mr. Carlos E. Chardon, Commissioner of Agriculture of Porto Rico. Doctor Barrus and Mr. Chardon have generously turned over to me their specimens for study and record. Full data are included for specimens by other collectors. A few specimens are included which were contributed by Doctor R. Ciferri, Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station of Santo
