Apparently the first record of the rust fungi which parasitize grasses from the southern part of the main island of Kyusyu, was made by Naohide Hiratsuka (17) in 1936. In his paper, entitled, "Uredinales collected in Kiushu. III." (1936),there have been record-ed two species of Uro1nyces (Uromyces halstedii De Toni and U. linearis Berk. et Br.) and three of Puccinia (Puccinia cacao Mc
Alpine, P. graminis Pers. and P. lolii Niessl
=
P. coronata Corda)from Kagosima Prefecture, the southern Kyusyu. In 1952, Naohide Hiratsuka (21) recorded one species of Stereostrat~tm,five of Uro-myces, 12' of Puccinia and one of Uredo parasitic on grasses from
Miyazaki and Kagosima Prefectures.
The first account of species of rust fungi which parasitize grasses from the Ryukyu Islands, including the Satunan IsIs. (Tanegasima lsI. and Yakusima lsI.) and the Amami IsIs., ~as that of Puccinia
levig~ta (Syd. et Butt) Hiratsuka, f. by Seiya Ito (31), in 1909. He
recorded Puccinia levigata (Syd. et Butl.) Hirats.uka., f. on leaves of Oplismenus compositus Beauv. based upon specimens which were
collected by Naoharu Hiratsuka at Syuri (Naha-si) in Okinawa Island, as Diorchidium levigatum Syd. et But!.
Up to 1941 since that time, there have been recorded by Naohide Hilllatsuka
(18~20)one species ofPuccinia in 1938, one of Angiopsora,
three ofUromyces and 14 of Puccinia in 1940, and five of Puccinia and
two of Uredo in 1941 from the Ryukyus. Since 1953, Naohide Hira-tsuka and his collaborators (24~30)have studied actively on the rust-flora of the Ryukyu Islands, and there have been recorded one species ofPh.akopsora, one of Dasturella, four of Urom.yces and28ofPuccinia,
which parasitize grasses from the Ryukyu Islands, in 1955 to 1957. In this article, now, are enumerated the species of rust fungi parasitic on the grasses collected in the southern Kyfisyfi (Miyazaki and Kagosima Prefectures) and the Ryukyu Islands, including the Satunan IsIs., the Tokara IsIs. and the Amami IsIs., and their taxo-nomic account and geographical distribution are presented.
The materials used by the writer in the present work include besides a number of collectibns made by Naoharu and Naohide Hira-tsuka, Shun-ichi Shimabukuro, Yoshihisa Taira, Shoji Sato, Yasuji Morimoto, Nobuhide Hirai, Shoichi Hirata, Shigetaka Katsuki, Yasu-yuki Hiratsuka and others, deposited in the Hiratsuka Herbarium, the specimens collected by the writer herself in Kagosima Prefecture in October 1956, and in Okinawa Island, the Ryukyu Islands in January 1957. The total number of specimens examined amounts to more than eight hundred, amongst which are included 55 species. The following table shows the number of species, by genera, hitherto known from the southern Kyfisyfi and the Ryukyu Islands, and the total.

It is a pleasure for the writer to express her appreciation to Prof. Hirosi Ito and Prof. Naohide Hiratsuka, under whose direction the present work was executed, for their useful suggestions and criticism. The writer also wishes to express her sincere thanks to Prof. Shun-ichi Shimabukuro (University of the Ryukyus) and Mr. Shoji Sato (Faculty of Agriculture, Tokyo University of Education), who made many valuable suggestions. She is also indebted to Dr. Jisaburo Ohwi of the National Science Museum (Tokyo) for identification of host plants of the fungi, and to Miss Eiko Sakai for her faithful assistance on the present investigations.
The present work has been partially supported by a Grant in Aid for Developmental Research of the Department of Education (1955-56. no. 21016), to the directors of which the writer wishes to take this opportunity of extending her sincere thanks.
The specimens studied are all kept in the Hiratsuka Herbarium, Tokyo, Japan.

The present fungus is the tropical or southern species, and it is widely distributed the subtropical and tropical regions.
The uredosorial stage of this fungus was first described by Kruger (1890) under the name of Uro'myces kuehnii, which he has found parasitic on the leaves of Saccha1"um ojficinarum in Java. In 1914, its teleutosorial stage was first described by Butler, based upon a specimen which was collected by him at Bassein, Burma on Sac-charum spontaneum, and it was treated by him as a species of Puc-cinia, naming Puccinia kuehnii.
The above mentioned two specimens of the present species from the Ryukyu Islands bear the uredosorial stage only. But, the writer found a specimen of the teleutosori on Saccha1"um ojficinarum froni Formosa among the Mycological Collection, deposited in the Herbari-um of the National Science MuseHerbari-um (Veno, Tokyo)_ That collection was made by'Mr. T. Takamure at Sinsya-syo, prove Taichfi, Formosa, and it is the only one of its teleutosoriaI stage in the Japanese Archi-pelago.
