This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ...because such objects are little attended to. The dry and decaying leaves in such countries are not, however, altogether without their species. I have, for instance, a Pestalozzia from Cuddapah, and an Eocdpula from Secunderabad 342. As regards utility little can be said of these Fungi, while, on the contrary, they are the bane of Agriculturists, and sometimes destroy all his hope. The Sorghum of hot countries, and the maize of warm districts, are not less surely their victims, than the oats, and wheat, and barley, and rye, of temperate realms.

Bunted wheat often forms a very large proportion in flour, and is used more especially for the manufacture of gingerbread, in which the colour is not of much consequence, and the flavour is concealed. In any case, however, it seems to be eaten with impunity. It is said that in reed-beds, where the stems are affected with Ustilago Typhoide8, the workmen suffer from headache and other bad symptoms, in consequence of inhaling the abundant spores.
