Of the grass hosts included in this study, all had their greatest rust infection during the dry, winter months. The hyperparasite, on the other hand, requires conditions of high relative humidity for its best development {14). Sprague {31) reports that rust attacks on lawn grasses in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, are checked by the parasit- ism of t). filum on the rust.

The disease was found in abundance onl}^ in areas of moderate to high rainfall (60 inches per year and above) and 5.
