CONTINUATION OF THE JOURNAL OF MYCOLOGY
The Journal of Mycology was inaugurated in 1885 by the undersigned, Messrs. J. B. Ellis and B. M. Everhart joining in the editorship. Under this arrangement the publication was continued four years ; it was then discontinued by reason of ex¬ pense involved, but the United States Department of Agriculture, Division of Vegetable Pathology, issued three volumes during the years 1889-94.
The Journal was at first published almost exclusively in the interest of systematic or taxonomic Mycology. The later vol¬ umes however were much changed in character and devoted mainly to the economic phase of the subject. Important articles in the first four volumes were such as North American Geasters, Enumeration of the North American Cercosporas, New Kansas Fungi, Heteroecismal Uredinese, North American Species of Ramularia, Canadian Fungi, The Phyllostictas of North America, New Species of Fungi, North American Agarics, Septorias of North America, etc.
In the last three volumes most space was given to such articles as Treatment of Gooseberry Mildew and Apple Scab, History of the Development of the Pyrenomycetes, Peach Rot and Blight, A New ITolyhock Disease, Recent Investigations in Smut Fungi and Smut Diseases, Experiments in the Treatment of Plant Diseases, Treatment of Pear- Leaf Blight, etc.
There was from the first a generous support on the part of many amateurs and all of the working mycologists of the coun¬ try but the number was of course then very limited. It is believed that now the good company has so much increased, the general

interest in Mycology so greatly widened and its usefulness so generally appreciated, that the continuation of the Journal — de¬ voted to this broad and important branch of Science — will be welcomed by a very large constituency.
The State Agricultural Experiment Stations beginning the publication of their work four years after the Journal of Mycol¬ ogy was established turned the attention of a host of students and workers to economic mycology, and many of them have made important contributions as well to the morphological and physio¬ logical in addition to the economic aspects of the subject. The instruction to students and opportunities for work in Mycology at Universities, Colleges and Stations have been greatly extended in recent years. No other branch of botany has enjoyed such popularity or received more attention than Mycology.
It is hoped that such encouragement and assistance will be received in the revival and continuation of this Journal, both in the way of subscriptions and contributions for publications, that an enlarged and valuable publication will be possible in the very near future. The editor is by no means so sanguine as to expect that the expense will be fully met by such income, yet he does hope to make a Journal that will perhaps be worth more than the amount charged subscribers, and on that basis most earnestly solicits the aid of all working mycologists and of all the profes¬ sional and amateur botanists of our country.
In no way will this Journal encroach on the mycological province of the State Experiment Stations, devoted as they neces¬ sarily and properly are, exclusively to the economic phases of the subject; on the other hand, it proposes to be an aid to such work by supplementing it in a very essential manner. To discourage and retard the investigations in the Morphology, Physiology, Ecology and Taxonomy of Fungi — the work that will be made prominent in the Journal of Mycology — would be on the part of Economic Mycologists seriously to interfere with the scope and value of their investigations. All branches of botany no less than all branches of science, must proceed simultaneously and harmoniously ; the divorcement of any one will be to its detriment and a detriment to the whole. The co-operation of the botanists of the Stations is therefore solicited, their more technical and purely scientific publications, descriptions of new species, investigations into the life histories of Fungi, observations and notes on Ecology'- and Distribution, and other articles not adapted to popular Bulletins, are respectfully solicited. The mycologists of the Stations have broad opportunities for advancing the science, yet the intended practical character of the publications forbid much technical mat¬ ter that is very essential to the promotion of this science.
The Journal proposes to be an index, and it is hoped that the aid of working mycologists will also make it an exponent of North American Mycology. Those contributing descriptions

of new species of Fungi, monographing large or small groups, or preparing other mycological articles are invited to make use of its pages. If haply this Journal would be made the reposi¬ tory for all descriptions of new species and all that pertains to the taxonomy of North American Fungi, the advantage to workers and to students would be invaluable.
It is hoped that issuing four numbers a year, in February, May, October and December, there may be given sufficiently prompt opportunity for publication of articles pertaining to any and every phase of mycology.

NOTES ON SOME FLORIDA MYRiOSTOMAS AND
GEASTERS.
A. P. MORGAN.
A <r<Gr <3 us/j-**
\ Q $ I * t
More than a year ago, a correspondent, Mr. A. S. Her to let, sent me a “Christmas Box’’ of specimens from Florida. It was well stuffed and seeming to be a “miscellaneous lot” I stowed it away and neglected to look at it for several months. I finally got it down and went through it expending my leisure time for three or four days upon it. I take this opportunity to acknowl¬ edge my pleasure in the offering, to thank Mr. Bertolet for the same, and to make note of some of the choice things in the box.
First, wrapped up together was a nest of small puff balls that looked very much like minute Indian Turnips ; they were smooth above, wrinkled all around the sides and rooted from the base ; they excited my curiosity greatly. After much cutting and prying and pulling to pieces I discovered them to be incipient Myriostomas. I had never seen the young unopened plant before.
There were some remarkable specimens of Geaster velutinus Morg. ; they were large and fine, of much greater size than the type which Atkinson sent me from South Carolina. Although the species roots from the base like Geaster saccatus Fr., one of the specimens' had stripped off its epidermis and vaulted upon its tips exactly as in Geaster fornicatus Huds. The species is more abundant and widely distributed than we had before suspected.
Lloyd has a line lot of it from Pennsylvania and the State Bota¬ nist notes it from New York.
Geaster radicans B. & C. is about the size and has much the same appearance as Geaster fornicatus Huds. as described by Fries and which Mr. Bertolet sent me from Northern Michigan;

in fact the two are confused in American and European her¬ baria. But G. radicans has a silky fimbriate mouth while in G. fornicatus the mouth is sulcate-striate.
In the box sometimes mixed together and sometimes wrapped in separate lots were vast numbers of two very small Geasters. One has the particles of sand bound to it all over by the mycelium and it has a protruding sulcate mouth ; this is evidently Geaster striatulus Kalch. The other little Geaster roots from the base and has a fimbriate mouth. So far as figure and description go it is Geaster floriformis Vitt. and has never been noted in this country before.
Most of all however, I prize what I believe to be genuine specimens of Geaster fimbriatus Fr., the only ones I have ever seen that filled the bill, though I have seen many specimens labeled Geaster fimbriatus Fr. It is buried in the ground and mycelium issues from the whole outer surface ; when it expands it carries away a coat of sand or else the sand strips off the cuti¬ cle. The most marked feature is, as stated by Fries, “Sporidia fuliginosa” ! Fries’ reference to Micheli’s first figure on Tab. ioo, however, is erroneous as he himself evidently suspects, in parenthesis. This figure of Micheli’s plate applies to what we are accustomed to call in this country Geaster triplex Jungh. It should be called Geaster stellatus Linn.
A NEW GENUS OF FUNGI.

The following genus with its type species Acontium album I have had on hand for some time. It will be recognized easily by its relationship to Cephalosporium. I can furnish a number of the specimens of the type to microscopists desiring them. By Tiyphasma” I mean the general aspect of the mould to the naked eve or with a simple lens ; this is different from the sense in which Link uses it.
Acontium Morgan genus nov. — Hyphse decumbent hyaline, septate, vaguely branched, the sporiferous branches uniform, as¬ cending, each producing at the apex several spores which are conglutinate into a pellucid glomerule. Spores simple, cylindric or fusiform, smooth, hyaline.
A genus somewhat resembling Cylindrocephalum, but the spores are involved in mucus as in Cephalosporium.
i. Acontium album Morgan sp. nov. — Hyphasma effused, thin,, dense, white, minutely pubescent. Hyphse creeping*, slender, hyaline, scarcely septate, intricately much branched ; the sporifer-

ous branches ascending, short, simple or with a few slender divis¬ ions at the apex, producing an elongated subfusiform glomerule of spores. Spores cylindric-fusiform, straight, hyaline, 18-25 x 1 mic.
Growing on the inner side of old bark of Acer. Sporiferous branches 40-60 mic. long, the glomerule clinging to the upper half usually leaving the apex naked ; sometimes two or three or several adjacent glomerules are confluent. There are usually from five or six to a dozen spores in a glomerule.
2. Acontium minus Morgan sp. nov. — Hyphasma effused, very thin, white. Hyphae creeping, slender, hyaline, septate branched ; the sporiferous branches simple, tapering upward, ascending or erect, producing at the apex a glomerule of spores. Glomerules small, globose or obovoid, white, pellucid ; spores cylindric, smooth, hyaline, obtuse at each end, 5-9 x 2 mic.
Growing on old pod of Gleditsia. The sporophores variable, tapering to a point, 20-60 mic. in length and not thicker than the spores.
3. Acontium velatum Morgan sp. nov. — Hyphasma effused, thin, dense, flocculose, white. Hyphse long prostrate, in¬ tricately much branched, hyaline, septate ; the spores conglutinate in subglobose or irregular glomerules and borne at the apex of slender branchlets. Spores variable in form and size, elliptic- oblong, subclavate and subcylindric, hyaline, smooth, 8-12x2. 5-3.5 mic. _
Growing on the cut surface of a black walnut stump appar¬ ently feeding upon the sap in which were spores of Pionnotes. Glomerules 15-25 mic. in diameter, in places much confluent, large and irregular.

“Ascomyces .
“A species of this genus distorts the leaves of peaches in a most extraordinary way. The increase in thickness is caused by the interpo¬ sition of eight or more strata of parenchymatous cells between the cuticul- lar stratum and the oblong close-packed cells which in healthy peach leaves follow it. At the same time the intercellular spaces of the lower part are narrowed as the leaf contracts.” M. J. Berkeley. Introduction to Cryptogamic Botany, 284. 1857.

This name, Roestelia globosa Thaxter, was perhaps first used by Ed. Fischer, Hedwigia, 34:4, 1895, the description having been published in 1886 is given herewith : —

America includes at least two, and perhaps three forms ; one, .
. A second form, lacerata, y in¬ fests the leaves of Crataegus , and does not appear until early in August; while a third and smaller form, lacerata, 2, is found abundantly on Pyrus malus simultaneously with it.
“In the forms y and 2 the spores are smaller, about 20 lJ- in di¬ ameter, while the peridi. 1 cells are smaller and broader in proportion to their length, about 20 X 65 /a, with a tendency to a rhomboidal shape; the ridges are deep and sharply cut as a rule, with the striae clearly marked and running obliquely in two directions; those above the median line, where the striae are horizontal, running in a plane nearly at right angles to those below it. The two forms seem nearly identical

Perithecia scattered, imperfect, subcuticular, about \ mm. diam., visible through the thin cuticle as minute, black circles with a white spot in the center. Sporules globose, olivaceous, \\-2 y. diam., borne on fasciculate basidia. Simple or branched from the base, 12-15x2 y.
On account of the imperfectly developed perithecia, this ap¬ proaches the Melanconiaceae.
Diplodia ivaicola E. & E. — On dead stems of Iva xanthi- folia. Aberdeen, South Dakota. April, 1896. David Griffiths.
Perithecia scattered; 150-200 y diam., subcuticular, raising the epidermis into small pustules which are pierced above by the papilliform osteolum which is soon perforated. Sporules oblong or oblong-elliptical, uniseptate, scarcely constricted, 10-16x6-7 y yellowish-brown, obtuse at the ends.
Ascochyta smilacis E. & E. — On living leaves of Smilax hispida. Yates, N. Y. (Fairman, 1512.)
Spots small (1-4 mm.), of irregular shape, dirty- white with a brown border or situated in a large brown space 1-2 cm. diam. Perithecia scattered over the spots, epiphyllous but mostly visible on both sides of the leaf, punctiform, black. Sporules elliptical, obtuse, smoky-hyaline, uniseptate but not constricted, 6-8 x 4 a.
This differs from the Ascochyta mentioned in the description of Phyllosticta smilacis E. & M. (in the North American Phyllos- tictas) in its smaller, smoky sporules.
Septoria spiculispora E. & E. — On leaves of Euonymus, Delaware (Commons).
Spots orbicular, 1-3 mm. diam., white with a purple margin; perithecia semiimmersed, epiphyllous, black, subglobose, 100-110 y diam. Sporules spiculiform, continuous, i5-20xf-i y.
S. eunonymella Pass, and S. euonymi-japonici Pass. Both have sporules 2\ y thick. S. enonymi Rabh. has spots scarcely margined, perithecia lenticular and sporules ij y thick. This was issued in N. A. F. 2675 as Phyllosticta euonymi Sacc.

Journal of Mycology
[Vol. 8.
Spots circular, 1-3 mm. diam., white or cream color above with a narrow, purplish-brown margin, rusty-brown below ; acer- vuli epiphyllous, innate-erumpent, sublenticular ; conidia cylindri¬ cal, 5-septate, scarcely constricted, 20-25x6-7 the terminal cells conical and hyaline, intermediate cells brown, the apical cell with a single short (6-8 /*), oblique, hyaline bristle-like crest; basidia simple, slender, about as long as the conidia, the riper part remaining to the base of the spore which in this way becomes bicristate.
The conidia are not quite as broad as in P. crataegi E. & E. and there is no concentric arrangement of acervuli as in that species. The conspicuous spots in P. mali afford a striking and easily recognizable character. Often one or more of the light colored spots are included in a larger brown spot, thus giving the leaf a marble-like aspect.
Ramularia hydrophylli E. & E. — On Hydrophyllum cap- itatum. Blue Mts. Columbia Co., Wash. April 1900. (Robert
M. Horner, 1494.)
Spots dark-brown, irregular in shape, 3-6 mm. long, mostly extending out to the margin of the leaf or occupying the tips; hyphae amphigenous, caespitose, hyaline, continuous, geniculate above and slightly toothed, 20-30x5-7 y , forming a loose white layer like Peronospora ; conidia narrow-ovate, or elongated- clavate, rounded at each end, 20-30x7-10
Cercospora simulans Ell. & Kellerm. — On leaves of Fal- cata comosa, Gauley Mts., W. Va. Aug. 1901. (Prof. W. A. Kellerman, 3775.)

Fusarium spartinae E. & E. — On leaves of Spartina stricta. Pacific Grove, Cal. July 1900. (Robt. M. Horner, 1488.)
Hyphae arising from a minute, tremelloid base, branching above, hyaline, forming a loose, flocculent, pale orange-colored growth on the lower side of the dead leaves ; conidia terminal, oblong-elliptical or oblong-fusoid, straight, 1-3 septate, 12-15x3-4 fj-, ends mostly obtuse.
Diatrype megastoma E. & E. — Jour Mycol. I. p. 141,

Lophiotrema oenotherae E. & E. — Torr. Bull. 24:128. 1897. Species found at Newfield, N. J., July 1901. Fully ma¬ tured, have sporidia distinctly 3-septate or constricted at the septa, 15-20x5-6 y.
Phyllosticta clypeata E. & E. — On living limbs of Pints malus. Corvallis, Oregon, May 1902. (A. B. Cordley.)
Spots discoid or shield-shaped, dull yellowish, J-icm. diam., circular or elliptical, closely embraced by the upturned epidermis, which, however, soon shrinks away, leaving the margin partially free. Perithecia scattered on the spots, depressed-globose, slightly prominent, 150-200 y diam. Sporules elliptical or sub- globose, hyaline, 3^-4x2^~3 y.
Apparently very injurious to the trees.
Phyllosticta virginica E. & E. — In N. A. F. 2830 ; is doubtless only a form of P. destruens Desm. This fact was rec¬ ognized in preparing the copy for the “North American Phyllos- tictas,” as shown by the reference under P. destruens on p. 15, but through some oversight was not fully explained and corrected.
In the North American Phyllostictas, under Phyllosticta des¬ truens, add 2676 to the N. A. F. reference;, and under P. vulgaris cancel the Syn. Phoma virginiana and the reference to N. A. F. 2830.
Puccinina circinans E. & E. — Bull. Torr. Bot. Club. Feb. 1900, p. 61.
Change this to Puccinia chasmatis E. & E. There is already a Puccinia circinans Fckl. Symb. p. 53.
Venturia rubicola E. & E. — On dead canes of Rubus occi- dentalis, Tacoma Park, D. C. Oct. 1900. (C. L. Shear, 903.)
Perithecia thickly scattered ; subcuticular, membranaceous, or rather coarse cellular texture, pierced above, 80-110 y diam., tardily rupturing the cuticle and suberumpent, finally collapsing, surrounded by a ring or fringe of short, black continuous bris¬ tles mostly a little curved, 20-40x3 y . Asci sessile aparaphysate, oblong, 50-60x10-12 y. Sporidia crowded-biseriate, oblong- elliptical, biguttulate (becoming unseptate?) hyaline, 12-15X 6-8 \y .
Differs from V. kunzei Sacc. on Rubus caesius in its cauli- colous growth and large asci and sporidia.
Hypocopra kansensis E. & E. — On cow dung. Rooks Co., Kansas. May 1901. (Bartholomew, 2871.)
Perithecia ovate, f-i mm. high, J-f mm. broad, entirely sunk in the stroma except the erumpent, hemispherical, soon perfor¬ ated ostiola ; stroma 1-2 mm. diam., black on the surface, inside about the same color as the matrix, slightly convex, often con¬ fluent for 1 cm. or more.

uniseriate, elliptical, hyaline at first, becoming opaque, slightly narrowed at the ends, 40-52 x 18-22/-* .
Differs from H. fimeti Pers. in its much larger sporidia.
Rosellinia BiGELoviAi E. & E. — Am. Nat. 341. 1897. N,
A. F. 3520. When this was published the fact that the sporidia are compressed was overlooked. From careful re-examination of the original species we give a revised measurement of the sporidia 6-9 (mostly 7-8) X4-5J /*, and about 3^ /-* thick.
What is evidently the same thing has since been found on dead stems of Amorpha fruticosa, Rooks Co., Kans. (Bartholomew, 2928). On this host jthe sporidia are somewhat larger, 8-10^ x 5_5i /A and rather more distinctly compressed (3-3^ p thick). Species from the same locality and collector on Negundo ace- roides have sporidia 8-10 x 4-5, 3 p thick. The perithecia on these hosts are ovate-globose, here and there densely crowded and subconfluent, and range from 250-350 p diam. Ostiolum papilliform or conic-papilliform.
Cucurbitaria ARizoNiCA E. & E. — On dead branches of Aca¬ cia grayii-, Tucson, Arizona, June, 1891. (David Griffiths).
Perithecia erumpent-superficial, in patches f mm. in ex¬ tent, or thickly scattered, globose, brownish-black, about J mm. diam., with a papilliform ostiolum, collapsing but not deeply. Asci cylindrical, p. sp. 75-80 x 12 p , short-stipitate, paraphysate. Sporidia mostly obliquely uniseriate, oblong-elliptical, 3-septate and submuriform, slightly constricted at the middle septum, straw-yellow becoming dark brown, 14 x 6-8 p.
Pleospora alismatis E. & E. — On dead stems of Alisma plantago. South Dakota (David Griffiths).
Perithecia scattered, erumpent and hemispheric-prominent, or strongly convex, about 200 p diam. Asci clavate-cylindrical, short stipitate, 90-100x12-15 p, with abundant filiform para- physes. Sporidia uniseriate or partially biseriate above, fusoid- oblong, inequilateral, 7-9-septate, one or more of the cells divided by a partial longitudinal septum, 22-77x10-12 (exceptionally IS)
The distinctly inequilateral sporidia attenuated towards each end are characteristic.
Physalospora lepachybis E. & E. — On living but partly faded leaves of Lepachys columnaris. Billings, Montana, Aug. 1898. (Williams & Griffiths).
Perithecia epiphyllous, gregarious, semi-erumpent, about J mm. diam., with a papilliform ostiolum soon perforated. Asci cylindrical, short-stipitate, paraphysate, 60-65 x 8, or when the sporidia are partly biseriate, 10-12 p broad. Sporidia mostly uni¬ seriate, elliptical with the ends broadly rounded, often with two large nuclei, 10-12 x 5-6 p.

Physalospora minima E. & E. — On dead canes of Rubus strigosus. Tuskegee, Ala. (Prof. G. W. Carver).
Perithecia evenly scattered, subcuticular, the minute ostiolum barely rupturing the epidermis, small (80-90 11). Asci oblong- clavate, short-stipitate, paraphysate, 40-50 x 6 m . Sporidia irreg¬ ularly crowded in the asci, elliptical, mostly narrowed at the ends, 9-1 1 x 3-4 ju.
Smaller in all parts than P. vagans E. & E. var. rubi on the same host.
Pleospora kanensis E. & E. — On dead stems of Meli- lotus alba. Rooks Co., Kansas, June, 1901. (Bartholomew, 2888).
Perithecia scattered, subcutaneous, ovate-globose J--J- mm. diam., raising the closely appressed cuticle into pustules pierced at the apex by the conical or short-cylindrical ostiolum, finally collapsing to cup-shaped. Asci clavate, rounded above, gradu¬ ally narrowed below to the short, nodular stipe-like base ; para- physes stout (3 u thick), septate, hyaline; sporidia biseriate, ob- long-obovate, rounded above, narrowed below and bent a little to one side, 5-6-septate, with a longitudinal septum more or less distinct running through 2 or 3 of the middle cells, slightly con¬ stricted in the middle, bright straw-yellow, 20-22 x 7-9 n .
This comes very near P. meliloti Rabh. on the same host, but the shorter clavate asci, the smaller sporidia and short-cylin¬ drical ostiolum may perhaps separate it. P. dura Niessl has larger perithecia which do not collapse.
Leptosph^eria astericola E. & E. — On dead stems of Aster multiflora. Rooks County, Kansas, June, 1901. (Bar¬ tholomew, 2885).
Perithecia erumpent-superficial, globose, becoming depressed or collapsing to cup-shaped, subseriately arranged, sometimes
2- 3 confluent, ostiolum papilliform, more distinct in the col¬ lapsed perithecia. Asci subcylindrical, short-stipitate, paraphy¬ sate, 80-110x7-8 n ; sporidia biseriate, fusoid, slightly curved,
3- septate, not constricted, straw-colored, 30-40 x 3-4 n . Pycni- dial perithecia resembling the ascigerous but not collapsing, sporules oblong or oblong-elliptical, hyaline, 6-8 x 2.\- 3 m , uni- septate.
Allied to L. fusipora Niessl and L. leptospora DeNot., but both have much shorter, broader sporidia and the latter has the pycnidial spores continuous.
Metasph^ria subseriata E. & E. — On dead culms of Pan- icum virgatum, Rooks County, Kansas, March, 1901. (E. Bar¬

Melanconis (Melanconiella) nyssaegena E. & E. — On dead limbs of Nyssa multiflora, Newfield, N. J., October 23, 1900.
Stroma cortical, formed of the scarcely altered substance of the bark, circular, depressed-globose, about 2 mm. diam., rais¬ ing the bark into little pustules which are ruptured at the apex by the fascicle of black, smooth, rounded ostiola. Perithecia circinate, globose, black and shining inside, about \ mm. diam., sporidia uniseriate, elliptical or oblong-elliptical, uniseptate and constricted, becoming olive-brown, 30-40x12-20 tx (mostly 12-15 '“)•

Stroma seriate between the nerves of the leaf, punctiform and buried at first, then suberumpent and more or less confluent for 2-3 mm. The separate stromata are about \ mm. in diam., and the ascigerous cells remain sunk in the parenchyma of the leaf. Asci densely fasciculate, clavate-cylindrical, short-stipi- tate, 75-80x12-15 jx . Sporidia obliquely uniseriate or subbise- riate, ovate, hyaline, continuous, 10-12x5-6 fx.
Botryosphasria hysterioides E. & E. — On leaves of Hes- peraloe dayi, Peyotes, Mexico. April 27, 1900. (Dr. Wm. Tre- lease).
Spots oblong-elliptical, soon confluent for 10 or more cm., reddish-brown, becoming greyish-white with a reddish-brown border. Perithecia globose 200-300 ft diam., lying 2-4 together in a narrow hysteriform stroma acute at each end, and -J-f mm. long, covered by the thin, whitened epidermis which is soon rup¬ tured by the obscurely papilliform ostiolum.

minor E. & E.) These three forms of stylospores are appar¬ ently generically connected with the ascigerous form. This last mentioned may be only a more mature stage of growth of Sep- toria megaspora Speg. which is described as having uniseptate spores and perithecia not on spots. The fungus on Hesperaloe has typically 3-septate spores and fhe spotted leaves are very conspicuous. Dr. Trelease has sent on Agave sp. from Mexico, a fungus that in some respects comes nearer Spegazzini’s plant but in this, too, the spores are 6-8-septate. Septoria megaspora Speg. seems more properly a Phleospora.
Dothidea yucc^e E. & E. — (Phyllachora yuccse E. & E. Torr. Bull. 22:440. 1895.) On leaves of Yucca angustifolia,

Stromata gregarious amphigenous, small, sunk in the sub¬ stance of the leaf and covered by epidermis which is soon rup¬ tured, mostly oblong, mm., surrounding and blackening
the leaf for § cm. in extent, the adjacent parts of the leaf being entirely free from the fungus. Ascigerous cells numerous, small. Asci oblong-cylindrical, 75-80x10-12 a. Sporidia mostly bise- riate, ovate-oblong, yellow-brown, uniseptate and constricted, 12-15 x 5~6 /*.
This is evidently the mature state of the fungus cited above, the larger dimensions of the asci being due to their more perfect development.
Hysterographium nucicola (Schw.) Syn. N. A. F. 2080. (H. hians E. & E. in Herb.) — On old hickory-nuts lying on the ground. Newfield, N. J., April 7, 1902.
Gregarious elongated f-i mm. long by nearly mm. wide, lying in various directions on the matrix, shining black, smooth,, not distinctly striate, straight or curved, ends obtuse, lips dis¬ tinctly gaping. Asci oblong-clavate, paraphysate, 60-70x12-15 u Sporidia ovate-oblong biseriate, hyaline, becoming dark brown, 4-6-septate, with a longitudinal septum running through 1-3 of the cells, sometimes distinctly constricted in the middle but often scarcely constricted at any of the septa, 15-22x6-9
In the shape of the perithecia and the partly open lips this differs from the description and specimens of H. nucicola Schw. in Herb. Schw. at the Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia. The sur¬ face of the nut is more or less blackened around each group of perithecia but this is more like a discoloration than a crust.

PUCCINIA PECKII (DeTonD Kellerm. N. N.
Infection Experiments and Correction of Labels, O. F.
W. A. KELLERMAN
[Vol. 8
A great quantity of aecidium on Onagra biennis (L.) Scop. (Oenothera biennis L.) was noticed the past season adjacent westward to a still larger area, two or three acres in extent, of Carex trichocarpa, in a broad and partially drained swail a few miles south of Columbus. This suggested the probable connec¬ tion of the abundant Rust on the Sedge with the equally abun¬ dant Aecidium on the Evening Primrose.
The Rust seemed to be the form usually called Puccinia car- icis, or Puccinia caricina, of wide distribution on this host. Under the name of Puccinia caricina specimens were issued in the second fascicle of Ohio Fungi as No. 28; the aecidium on Onagra was issued as No. 17 in the same set of exsiccata.
Inoculation experiments have just been completed, sowings of the teleutospores from the Carex producing abundant spermo- gonia and aecidia on the Onagra. I am able to state also that Dr. Arthur has at the same time carried out similar infection experiments with material which I furnished from the Carex growing in the area referred to above. He has also used with similar positive results spores on this host from many localities in the states of Iowa and Wisconsin, as stated in a letter just received. This confirmation of results obtained by each of us is very gratifying, and it is with Dr. Arthur’s approval that I propose the new combination as above.
It becomes necessary, therefore, to correct the labels of O. F. Nos. 17 and 28; they should be as follows:
17. Puccinia peckii (DeToni) Kellerm. Aecidiospores.
28. Puccinia peckii (DeToni) Kellerm. Teleutospores.
NOTES ON THE NORTH AMERICAN MYCOLOGICAL
LITERATURE OF 1901
W. A. KELLERMAN
The activity of the American mycologists is shown in the very large number of important contributions published in maga¬ zine or book form. A large list of new species has been described by Ellis & Everhart, Thaxter, Earle, Peck, Griffiths, A. L. Smith, Dietel and Holway, Arthur, Tracy, Clements, Olive, and others. Lloyd is continuing the generous distribution of his Mycological Notes, mostly with illustrations.

Mycological Literature
21
Important contributions in Morphology and Cytology have also appeared. Several text-books have been issued, a fair amount of space generally being allotted to Fungi. One that deserves special mention here is Campbell’s University Text¬ book of Botany1 which will doubtless prove invaluable to the general student. Nearly four pages are devoted to the Myxomy- cetes, six to Bacteria, and forty-seven pages to the Fungi. A good general discussion introduces each subject; then follows the more recent classification with life histories of many representa¬ tives, illustrated with numerous and very satisfactory figures. Half-tones, the fad of the day, but indispensable in illustrating some subjects, do not occur in this portion of the text.
In Bacteriology we have an admirable treatise by Conn,2 no less indispensable to the professional botanist than to the amateur and general reader. The simple, clear style, free from technical terms, makes this an attractive book, full as it is of up to date general Bacteriology, given in chapters that deal with the Nature of Bacteria, Fermentation, The Manure Heap and Sewage, Bac¬ teria in the Dairy, and Parasitic Bacteria. Other topics amply treated are the Origin of Soil, Bacteria in Water, Bacteria rela¬ tive to Farm Products, Preservation of Foods, Resistance Against Bacteria, Anthrax, Turberculosis and other Bacterial Diseases, and Disinfection.
For students and amateurs interested in Mushrooms the treatises of Professor Atkinson3 and Nina L. Marshall4 5 and also Peck’s Report of the State Botanist for 1900s are important and admirable, even sumptuous publications. In this group is mani¬ fest the indispensable aid of camera and brush. The Marshall book is designed for beginners, and is to be highly commended. Even moderate concentration and patience on the part of ama¬ teurs will yield good returns, and accurate as well as useful knowledge of our higher fungi may be gained with the book and the specimens in hand. Atkinson’s book is more extensive and ought to be in the hands of all interested in Mushrooms, the amateur no less than the student and professional botanist. The perfect pictures of the species are accompanied by plain scientific

The scope of the work can be seen by the more important chapter headings, as Form and Character of the Mushrooms, Development of the Mushroom, the Agarics (and other groups), Collection and Preservation of the fleshy Fungi, Cultivation of Mushrooms, Recipes for Cooking Mushrooms, Chemistry and Toxicology of Fungi, Analytical Key, and Glossary. Peck’s fine and well-illustrated Reports, this as well as those of previous years, cannot be too highly commended, and fortunate are those who are successful in procuring copies. Besides the new species described in this Report, including a synoptical table of New York species of Trametes, pp. 173-186 are devoted to an account of Edible Fungi, accompanied by thirteen double-page colored plates.

This installment of the Index represents the mycological literature of North America for the entire year 1901. Authors are asked kindly to assist in prompt publication of the index of their articles hereafter by forwarding copies of Magazines which contain the same or of separates, with original paging, volume, date, etc.
The possible omissions for 1901, or failure of prompt listing of articles, authors and subjects in the future, will be much regretted, and an earnest request is hereby expressed that atten¬ tion may be called immediately to such items by the authors themselves.

MORCHELLAE-THE MORELS
A. P. MORGAN
y.
■ 7 * ^ /
MUrltLo
ft Hf' LSaaA/'-O-
With plentiful showers in the springtime the Morels grow abundantly in my vicinity. I have observed them critically for many years and have taken much pains to recognize as many as possible of the species that have been described. I invariably arrive at the same conclusion: that there are but two species. In the same spots the species vary much in form, size and color from year to year in accordance with the difference in warmth, sunshine and shower. The spores vary somewhat in different specimens but there is nothing characteristic in their variation.. No paraphyses are present in the hymenium of either species; I do not recognize immature or undeveloped asci as paraphyses.
My bundles of specimens gathered in different years bear a variety of labels as I look them over, but they are all assembled in my mind under two names : The first is Morchella escu¬ lenta, the second Morchella patula; in the first the pileus is wholly adnate to the apex of the stipe; in the second the lower part of the pileus is separate from the stipe. The difference in the plants under each species do not seem to me sufficient to establish good varieties even.
Judging by the plants growing in this region I venture t© present the synonomy of the two species as follows :

A NEW SPECIES OF RHYTISMA
W. A. KELLERMAN.
At West Mansfield, Logan County, Ohio, July, 1901, a thicket several acres in extent of Ilex verticillata was inspected and found to be universally and abundantly affected with a Rbytisma, which though immature seemed to be an undescribed species. Specimens representing the stage are issued in Ohio Fungi, No. 76. Mr. Ellis received the same form immature from Professor Carver, 292, on the same host (apparently), at Tuskegee, Alabama. He also says : “In the specimens issued in N. A. F. 3134, and F. Col. 535 collected on the same host m Vigo County, Indiana, by Professor Underwood, the stro- ast&ta are amphigenous but more prominent below, instead of be¬ ing concave , a character not found in any other species of Rhv- tisma on Ilex.”
The accompanying figures illustrate the important charac¬ ters of the form in question. At St. in Plate 1 is shown a dia- jgramatic transverse-section in which the concavity of the un¬ derside of the stroma is pronounced. On the leaf in the same Igure are shown a number of stromata of varying sizes, most of which are ruptured above in the somewhat regular manner. Figures represent the characteristic asci (A), accompanied by the slender elongated paraphyses (P). The ascus to the left contains ascospores, the others are empty or immature. The spores are also shown on the same Plate (S). Mature speci-

mens were obtained early in June 1902, and are issued simulta¬ neously in Ohio F., No. 75.
The technical description of the proposed species is as fol¬ lows :
Rhytisma concavum Ell. & Kellerm. n. sp. — Stromata epiphyllous but also visible below, forming thin, black, thickly scattered blotches, 1-4 mm. diameter, orbicular or subangular, the surface uneven, surrounded by a pale yellowish, narrow margin, more or less concave below and the margin broader and paler, at maturity rupturing by radiating fissures, in the oblong forms a central elongated fissure also occuring and in the larger ones a circular area being cut out, the hygroscopic lobes strongly recurved when moist exposing a light yellowish, later sordid yellow then blackish disk. Asci 80-110x8-10 ,u, oblanceolate, much elongated below,
strongly acute at the apex, accompanied by abundant slender and at the tips. Spores 20-35 x 2-3 [i hyaline, nearly straight to strongly
elongated mostly flexuous paraphyses about 4 ^ wide, usually enlarged
curved, slightly thicker at one end in which are large clear granules.
On leaves of Ilex verticillata ; spores mature in June. Type speci¬ men in Herb. W. A. Kellerman.
CULTURES OF UREDINEAE IN 1900 AND 1901
BY J. C. ARTHUR.
The first especially important cultures of plant rusts made by the writer were conducted in 1899, and the results published in the Botanical Gazette for April 1900 (29:268-276). During the two following years only a small number of cultures were made, and for a number of reasons the results have not been put into type until now. This article is, therefore, the second of the series.
The method pursued in most cases in making the cultures has been stated in the preceding article. It was, in brief, to re¬ move spores with a knife from the host, and place them on a dampened plant which it is desired to infect. The plants are grown in pots. After the spores are sown the whole plant is covered with a bell jar and kept shaded for a day, or sometimes two days. The plants are then uncovered and placed on a greenhouse bench, where they remain until the period of ob¬ servation is ended.
In 1900 the only cultures made that require mention were with Euphorbia rust. The results supplement and confirm those made in 1899 (Bot. Gaz. 29:270-271). It was again found that spores from Euphorbia nutans would grow upon the same species, but not upon E. maculata. It seems quite probable that this rust, Uromyces euphorbiae C. & P. possesses specialized forms. The record is as follows :

July 21, Aecidiospores from Euphorbia nutans sown on E. nutans; July 30, uredo.
July 21, Aecidiospores from E. nutans sown on E. maculata; no infection.
July 21, Uredospores from E. nutans sown on E. nutans; July 31, uredo.
July 21, Uredospores from E. nutans sown on E. maculata; no infection.
There are two ways in which the right species of plant may be selected on which to make a sowing of a hetercecious rust. One is to sow upon any species known to harbor an aecidium, hoping after making a smaller or larger number of tests to hit upon the right one. This method in my own work has led to very meagre results, so slight, in fact, as scarcely to be worth the trouble. During 1901 the following rusts were tried in this blind way, all being very common forms in this vicinity, only to ascertain that wrong plants were selected for the sow¬ ings or else the spores did not gain entrance possibly through defective treatment.
Puccinia emaculata Schw. on Panicum capillare was sown twice on Onagra biennis, with no infection.
Puccinia caricina DC. A form of this aggregate on Carex tetanica was sown on Erigeron annuus and Onagra biennis, with no infection.
Puccinia atkinsoniana Diet, on Carex lurida. The name of this species was unknown at the time the cultures were made, but through the kindness of Professor Atkinson, it has since been compared with type material and its status definitely settled. It was sown on Aster cordifolius, Aster paniculatus, Solidago serotina, Xanthium canadense, Ambrosia trifida, Impatiens aurea and Ribes cynosbati, with no infection.
Puccinia peckii (DeT.) Kellerm. on Carex trichocarpa. The names of both host and rust were unknown at the time the cultures were made. The host has since been found in fruit, and the rust has been successfully grown by Professor Keller- man and also the writer, as recorded in the preceding number of this Journal (8:20). Spores were sown on Aster cordifolius, Aster paniculatus, Solidago serotina, Solidago canadensis, Ribes cynosbati, Erigeron annuus, and Eupatorium perfoliatum, with no infection.
Puccinia rubigo-vera DC. A form of this aggregate of Bromus ciliatus was sown on Hepatica acuta and Viola cucullata, with no infection.
During 1901 the culture of seven species was successfully carried out. Three of these were in confirmation of previous work, as follows :
Puccinia caricis (Schum.) Reb. April 25, teleutospores from Carex stricta were sown on Urtica gracilis ; May 2, spermogonia appeared, and May 5, aecidia.

Puccinia angustata Pk. May 3, teleutospores from Scirpus atrovirens were sown on Lycopus americanus ; May 11, Sper- mogonia appeared, and May 20, aecidia.
Puccinia poculiformis (Jacq.) Wettst. May 2, teleutospores from Cinna arundinacea were sown on Berberis vulgaris ; May 13, spermogonia appeared, and May 22, aecidia.
Of the remaining four species, all Carex rusts, the clues which led to successful cultures were obtained in the field, and have been mentioned and explained in an article in the Botanical Gazette for January of the present year. For three of these species it seems necessary to propose new names. All are yet in¬ sufficiently studied to determine their exact boundaries.
Puccinia albiperidia sp. nov.
O. Spermogonia amphigenous, small, pale orange.
I. Aecidia hypophyllous, small in circular clusters ; substratum scarcely thickened ; peridia white, low, margin incised, reflexed ; spores pale yellow when fresh, subglobose, 15-20 ju, in diameter ; wall thin,
smooth.
II. Uredosori hypophyllous, small, round or oblong, soon naked; uredospores oblong, small, echinulate.
III. Teleutosori hypophyllous, globose or oblong, pulvinate, dark brown. Teleutospores oblong-cuneate, 17-24 by 32-45 ju. ; apex semi¬ circular or obtuse, thickened to half the length of the upper cell ; side walls thin, slightly or not constricted; pedicel slender, colored, as long as the spore or shorter.
On Ribes cynosbati L. grown June, 1901 from teleutospores collected on Carex pubescens Muhl, Lafayette, Ind., April 30, 1901.
This species is characterized by the white or nearly white aecidia, which may be called Aecidium albiperidium. They are in marked contrast with the deep orange aecidia that are so abundant throughout North America on various species of Ribes. The only field collection known to the writer is one on Ribes gracile made at Decorah, Iowa, by E. W. D. Holway on June 2, 1901. When dry and faded the two forms of aecidia are much alike. Cultures were made as follows :
May 16, teleutospores from Carex pubescens sown on Aster panicu- latus ; no infection.
May — , teleutospores from Carex pubescens sown on Ribes cynosbati ; May 30, spermogonia; June 9, aecidia.
Puccinia caricis-erigerontis sp. nov.
O. Spermogonia epiphyllous, prominent, golden yellow.
I. Aecidia hypophyllous, in circular clusters; substratum slightly thickened ; peridia short, much divided and recurved ; aecidiospores yellow when fresh, isodiametric, 12-15 fi in diameter, wall thin, minutely
tuberculate.
II. Uredosori hypophyllous, small, oblong, tardily naked; uredos¬ pores brownish-yellow when fresh, oval or obovate, small, 12-18 by 16-22 fx wall thin, thickly echinulate, pores 3 or 4 scattered.

III. Teleutosori hypophyllous, small, oblong, pulvinate, blackish brown, ruptured epidermis evident ; teleutospores clavate or oblong- clavate, 14-20 by 35-42 i± ; septum above the middle ; apex obtuse or
truncate, much thickened ; side walls thin ; pedicel firm ; colored, one fourth or one half the length of the spore.
On Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers. and Carex festucacea Willd., Lafay¬ ette, Ind.
This species is without doubt the Caeoma (Aecidium) erig- eronatum Schw. (Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. 4:292), and probably occurs on many species of Erigeron throughout North America. Cultures were made as follows :
April 25, teleutospores from Carex festucacea sown on Erigeron annuus; May 2, spermogonia; May 11, aecidia.
April 25, teleutospores from C. festucacea sown on Taraxacum taraxacum; no infection.
PuCCINIA CARICIS- A STERI S sp. 110V.
O. Spermogonia epiphyllous, yellow, punctiform, sunken in tissue of the leaf.
I. Aecidia hypophyllous, collected in groups on slightly swollen yellow or purplish spots, low, margin much divided and recurved ; aecidiospores subglobose, 12-17 ;j in diameter, wall thin, minutely
roughened.
II. Uredosori hypophyllous, oblong ; uredospores oblong or obovate, 12-16 by 18-22 /i ; wall thin, echinulate ; pores few, scattered.
III. Teleutosori hypophyllous, oblong to oblong-linear, prominent, soon naked, dark brown, ruptured epidermis noticeable ; teleutospores oblong or clavate-oblong, 16-22 by 48-56 (u. ; apex rounded, greatly thick¬ ened ; pedicel slender, colored, half the length of the spore.
On Aster paniculatus Lam., Aster cordifolius L. and Carex foenea Willd. The latter collected at Decorah, Iowa, Dec. 30, 1900 by E. W. D. Holway, and at Lafayette, Ind., April 30, 1901, by the writer.
The common aecidium, found on many species of Aster, is probably included in this species, but not the aecidia found on Erigeron, Solidago or Geranium. It is the same as Aecidium asterum Schw. The uredospores and teleutospores are very sim¬ ilar to those of the preceding species, and are suggestive of biological species. Much work, however, must be done before an approximately accurate statement can be made regarding the Carex species having aecidia upon Compositae. Data for the present separation was obtained as follows :
April 25, teleutospores from Carex foenea (leva) sown on Erigeron annuus ; no infection.
April 29, teleutospores from C. foenea (Iowa) sown on Erigeron annuus ; no infection.
May 4, teleutospores from C. foenea (Indiana) sown on Aster paniculatus ; May 13, spermogonia ; May 22, aecidia.
May 4, teleutospores from C. foenea (Indiana) sown on Erigeron annuus ; no infection.
May 11, teleutospores from C. foenea (Indiana) sown on Geranium maculatum ; no infection.

PUCCINIA BOLLEYANA SACC.
This species is first mentioned in the Amer. Mo. Micr. Journal for 1889 (10:169), with an illustration but no descrip¬ tion. It was first described in Saccardo’s Sylloge (9:303), two years later. It was collected originally on a sterile sedge, pre¬ sumably a Carex, growing from two to four feet high. The type locality is within two miles of Lafayette, Ind., and only an area ten or fifteen feet across supports the sedge, but almost every leaf over this area has been thickly covered with the rust each season since its discovery. Last year it was found im another locality about four miles distant. It has not been re¬ ported from any other place in this or other states, but a speci¬ men sent from Kenosha county, Wisconsin, by Du J. J. Davis has proved to be this species. The species is especially char¬ acterized by the large teleutospores, and the brown, fusiform uredospores. Within the last month a fruiting specimen of the host has been found upon the type area, which shows it to be Carex trichocarpa Muhl. This in brief is the history of the rust up to the time of making the following cultures. Whether the aecidium, which has been found to grow on Sambucus cana¬ densis, is the wide-spread Aecidium sambuci Schw., or not, it would be premature to say.
May 2, teleutospores from Carex trichoca.rpa sown on Sambucue canadensis ; May 10, spermogonia ; May 22, aecidia.
May 3, teleutospores from C. trichocarpa sown on Xanthium can- adense ; no infection.
May 3, teleutospores from C. trichocarpa sown on Impatiens aurea^ no infection.
June 15, aecidiospores from Sambucus canadensis sown by Wm. Stuart on Carex trichocarpa; July 16, abundant uredospores first noticed^ but probably not the first sori to appear.
SUMMARY.
During 1900 and 1901 the life cycle of the following eight species of rusts was demonstrated by cultures. Of these suc¬ cessful cultures, the first four have been previously reported, while the cycle of the second four is here reported for the first time.

NEW ALABAMA FUNGI
BY J. B. ELLIS AND B. M. EVERHART.
The following fungi were collected in the vicinity of Tus- kegee, Alabama, by George W. Carver, Director of the Depart¬ ment of Agriculture and Agricultural Experiment Station at Tuskegee, Ala.
Phyllosticta richardsoniae E. & E. — On leaves of Rich- ardsonia scabra, Tuskegee, Ala. Aug. 1901.
Perithecia amphigenous, on irregularly shaped, dirty white spots and bleached areas of the leaves, mostly occupying and killing the tips of the leaves, perithecia scattered, globose, 80-110 n. diam., pierced above. Sporules oblong-elliptical, abundant, 4xiJ n .
Phoma apocrypta E. & E. — On dead stems of Phytolacca decandra, Tuskegee, Ala. Oct. 1900 (Carver 704).
Perithecia subcuticular, raising the epidermis into little pus¬ tules pierced by the subconical ostiolum, globose, 150-200 diam., scattered or often three or more approximated, or sometimes seriately arranged and splitting the epidermis in clefts or cracks 2-3 mm. in length. Sporules elliptical or ovoid, 1-2 nucleate, with a slight smoky tinge, 3-4x1 \-2
Its much smaller sporules as well as its pseudo-stromatic habit will separate it from P. herbarum West, and from P. phytolaccae B. & C. May be the spermogonial stage of Diaporthe aculeata Schw.
Phoma zeicola E .& E. — Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 27:573. 1900. Specimens recently sent show that the perithecia appear at first on definite, pallid spots, which finally become confluent.

Macrophoma subconica E. & E. — Jour. Mycol. 5 :i4 7, 1889. Mr. Carver has sent what we now refer to this species on the following hosts — On Luffa acutangula (dried pericarp), spor. 15- 22x10-12 u ; on Dolichos sinensis, spor. 15-20x10-11 ju ; on Melia azederach; Pelargonium zonale, and Cassia tora, spor. 15-22x5-7 U ; on Mucuna utilis, spor. 15-18x12-14 ju.
The perithecia vary from 120-400 u in diameter, with a dis¬ tinct conic-papilliform ostiolum, and become depressed and flat¬ tened or collapse to concave. The ostiolum is soon deciduous leaving the perithecium perforated.
Aposphaeria turmalis E. & E. — On weatherbeaten wood of Diospyros virginiana.
Perithecia superficial, densely crowded and angular from mu¬ tual pressure, forming a continuous crust several centimeters in extent, ovate, globose, 300-400 ju diam. with an obscure papilli¬ form ostiolum. Sporules ovate or piriform, hyaline, filled with small nuclei, 15-20x10-12 ju.
Dothiorella major E. & E. — On dead stems of Gossypium herbaceum.

Sporules oblong-elliptical or ovate, 20- 22x12 ju, on basidia of about the same length, others (sterile basidia) are longer than the sporules and resemble paraphyses.
D. botryosphaerioides Sacc. on the same host has sporules only 8x3 ju„
Sphaeropsis grandiflora E. & E. — On dead leaves of Mag¬ nolia grandiflora.
Perithecia scattered quite evenly over the upper side of the leaf, raising the cuticle into little pustules, 99-110 u diam., perforated at the apex. Sporules oblong-elliptical, 15-20x8-10 /u-
Sphaeropsis sabalicola Ell. & Carver. — On Sabal andan- sonii, Beloit, Ala.
Perithecia gregarious, 150-200 ji diam., often subseriate, 2-4 in a short line, splitting the epidermis over them but hardly con¬ fluent, suberumpent, finally deciduous. Sporules oblong-elliptical, 15-22x9-11 ju, on rather slender basidia about as long as the spores.
Sphaeropsis begoniicola E. & E. — On Begonia, cultivated.
Perithecia hypophyllous, on dead, indefinitely limited areas of the leaves, hemispheric-prominent, finally collapsing, large (400-50011), carbonaceo-membranaceous, with a distinct tuber- culo-papilliform ostiolum. Sporules elliptical, 15-22x12 ju nearly hyaline at first, filled with granular matter becoming brown.
Haplosporella grandinea E. & E. — On dead limbs of Mag¬ nolia glauca.

Jour?ial of Mycology
[Vol. 8
Stromata small, thickly scattered, J-i mm. diam., sunk in the bark, raising the epidermis into pustules and rupturing it but not erumpent. Perithecia 2-6 in a stroma, 150-200 fit diam., with a papilliform ostiolum, sometimes scattered singly in the bark. Sporules oblong-elliptical, 15-20x8-11 fi.
H mexicana E. & E. — (Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 22 1440. 1895) differs from this in its larger, seriate, carnose, erumpent stromata.
Haplosporella jasmini E. & E. — On dead limbs of Jas- minum fruticans.
Perithecia ovate, bursting out through the bark in clusters of 6-20 and loosely surrounded by the lobes of the ruptured epi¬ dermis. Sporules oblong-elliptical or ovate, 18-20x8-11 fit.
Diplodia atrocoerulea E. & E. — On dead steams of Datura stramonium.
Perithecia innate, the apex erumpent, discharging the ovate- elliptical, dark brown, 12-22x12 fi. spores abundantly, and black¬ ening the surface of the stem.
Accompanied by a Helminthosporium (H. socium E. & E. in herb.) with elongate-elliptical, 3-septate, pale yellow conidia, 30-50x12-15 /i. The sporules are more or less distinctly longi- tudinallv striate.

Botryodiplodia meliae E. & E. — Diplodia meliae E. & E. Bull. Torr. Bot Club, 25:288. 1897. Diplodia langloisii Sacc.
& Syd., Sacc. Syll. 14:929. 1897. On dead limbs of Melia
azedarach, Louisiana (Langlois), Alabama (Carver).
Perithecia globose or ovate, 150-200 / 1 diam., 3-15 in a flat- tish-verruciform stroma, J-i mm. diam., closely covered by the irregularly ruptured but closely adherent epidermis, black inside and of a waxy or subcarnose consistency ; ostiola papilliform. Sporules oblong-elliptical, more or less distinctly constricted, 15- 20x8-10 fit.
The Louisiana specimens which were published in the Torr. Bull, as Diplodia were not as well developed as those from Ala¬ bama but a re-examination of the species in Herb. Everhart shows * that the stromatic arrangement of the perithecia is the normal condition, although in specimens from both of the localities named, perithecia scattered singly occur.
Botryodiplodia pallida E. & E. — On dead stems of Glycine hispida.
Perithecia collected in little groups 3-8 in a more or less evident stroma, ovate globose, 250-300 fit diam., the papilliform ostiolum and generally the apex of the perithecium projecting slightly above the stroma. Sporules oblong-elliptical, obtuse, hya¬ line and continuous at first, tardily becoming brown and uni- septate, 20-26x12 fit in the hyaline state, a little smaller when mature and brown ; basidia about as long as the sporules.

Hyphae in dense tufts, 15-20x3 fx , subnodulose, contin¬ uous, or faintly septate, obtuse at the apex, subolivaceous, Conidia slender, obclavate, with a slight oblivaceous tinge, slightly curved, 50-80x2^-3 n , faintly 3-5-septate.
Cercospora sessilis E. & E. — On (dead) ? leaves of Popu- lus monolifera. Beloit, Ala. Sept. 1901.
Epiphyllous; conidia fasciculate, sessile (or nearly so) on a minute, sphaeriform base, curved or undulate, 20-60x3 /x, oliva¬ ceous, guttulate, becoming 3-or more-septate.
On the same leaves are many small grayish-white spots but. the Cerocospora is on the dark colored part of the leaf and not on the spots though it may partly overrun some of them.
C. populina E. & E. (Jour. Mycol. 3:20) is on definite spots and is different from this.
Cercospora graticlae E. & E. — On Gratiola pilosa.
Hyphae cespitose, short (25-35x3 /a), continuous, brown* somewhat crisped and toothed above, tufts effused, forming an olivaceous layer over the lower side of the leaves, but not on any spots. Conidia cylindrical, olivaceous, nucleate, becoming about 5-septate, 60-75x3^-4 / 1 .
Cercospora hydrangeae E. & E. — On leaves of Hydrangea
cult.
Spots amphigenous, subangular, more or less confluent s© as to cover a greater part of the leaf, rusty-brown becoming dark brown. The brown spots become pale silver gray in the center on both sides of the leaf and on these gray spots the tufts of hyphae are sparingly scattered. Hyphae nodulose and geniculate, brown, simple, continuous or 1-2-septate below, sub- dentate at the tips, 40-60x3^-4 fx. Conidia slender obclavate, hyaline, faintly septate towards the thick end, 60-80x3^-4 /x.
Cercospora oxydendri E. & E. — On leaves of Oxydendrum arboreum.
Leaves at first mottled with dull red, more distinctly so above, the red areas bounded at first by the veinlets, soon con¬ fluent over a great part of the leaf, here and there forming distinct, indefinitely limited spots of a deep-brown color, one or more centimetres in extent. Hyphae tufted, short, the tufts becoming almost black, especially above, of a lighter color but not so abundant below. Conidia slender, obclavate-cylindrical, 3-5-septate, subolivaceous, 50-75x3-4 /x, mostly a little curved.
Cercospora brachypus E. & E. — On leaves of Vitis rotund- ifolia.

Journal of Mycology.
[Vol. 8
Hypophyllous on brown, dead areas of the leaves. Hyphae mere conical points on a brown, sphaeriform base, bearing abun¬ dant, slender, curved, faintly nucleate, nearly hyaline conidia, acute at each end and 50-70x2^-3 (x.
Very distinct from all the other species described on Vitis. The effused tufts look like a thin, mouse-colored down.
Cercospora tageticola E. & E. — On leaves of Tagetus pa- tula which it soon blackens and kills.
Hyphae in loose, spreading tufts, 200-300x4 [x, geniculate and septate. Conidia filiform about as long as the hyphae, thickened, 6-8-septate near the base and when well developed, constricted at the septa and 5-6 jx thick.
Differs from the original C. canescens E. & M. principally in its longer hyphae and conidia.
Cercospora cydoniae E. & E. — On leaves of Cydonia ja- ponica.
Spots amphigenous, irregular in outline, 1-3 mm. diam., definite but without any raised border, subconfluent, dark brown, almost black above; hyphae epiphvllous, tufted, short, 15- 20X2J-3 fx , continuous, subgeniculate, pale-yellowish under the microscope. Conidia mostly curved, subcylindrical, hyaline or with a very faint shade of yellow, 30-45x2^ ix , nucleolate, be¬ coming 1-3 septate.
Under the pocket lens the tufts of hyphae with the conidia appear like minute cinerous specks.
Cercospora richardsoniae E. & E. — On leaves of Richard- sonia scabra.
Hyphae amphigenous, tufts effused more or less over the entire leaf, forming an olivaceous coat, few in a tuft, subundulate above and sparingly toothed, continuous or sparingly septate, 20-40X3-3J tx . Conidia long and slender, gradually attenuated above, faintly 3-5-septate, with a slight yellowish tint, 75-90x3 fx.
Cercospora maclurae E. & E. — On living leaves of Maclura aurantiaca.
Hypophyllous, forming irregularly shaped, olive-green patches 2-4 mm., diam., partly limited by the veinlets of the leaf but not on any definite spots; hyphae cespitose, short (8-10x5 //. continuous, nearly hyaline. Conidia obclavate. the lower br^Ur part olive brown, 5-7-septate and slightly constricted ai the septa, abruptly contracted above into a cylindrical, subhyaline beak which forms about half the length of the spore.
Cercospora sedi E. & E. — On living leaves of Sedum sp.
Amphigenous, effused, giving the leaves a smoky look. Hyphae fasciculate, continuous or faintly septate more or less sinuous or crooked, short, 15-25x4 /*. Conidia straight, guttu- late, 30-110X2J-3 fx with a slight brownish tint.
June 1902] New Alabama Fungi 73
Cercospora vincetoxici E. & E. — On leaves of Vincetox- icum hirsutum.
Spots subcircular, reddish-brown, 4-10 mm. diam., with a narrow slightly raised, concolorous margin. Fertile hyphae amphigenous, simple, erect, continuous, 15-20x3 as brownish, slightly toothed or entire above, densely cespitose, the tufts effused and forming a slate-colored layer covering the central area of the spots. Conidia oblong 20-30 or elongated 30-60x3 n , slightly colored, continuous.
Cercospora canescens E. & M. — Am. Nat. 1003. 1882.
Mr. Carver sends this on dead stems of Lycopersicum esculen- tum, Petunia parviflora and on leaves of Ricinus communis and Amaranthus. The hyphae which are crowded in dense tufts are at first cylindrical, straight and truncate at the apex but in the more elongated ones they sometimes become geniculate and some of them branched. The conidia often reach 300 u long and become 10-12 (or more) septate. They are quite perfectly hyaline and are so abundant as to give the tufts a light-gray appearance.
Stemphylium copallinum E. & E. — On leaves of Rhus copallina.
Hyphae creeping, loosely and irregularly branched, not in¬ terwoven, brown, sparingly septate, 4-5 ju thick. Conidia sub- globose, 20-25 ju diam., mostly 4-celled with two septa at right angles to each other, some of them 5-6-celled, pale brown at first, then opaque, nearly sessile and lateral.
S. epochniodeum (Berk.) has the conidia much smaller and the hyphae hyaline.
Vermicularia oblongispora E. & E. — On dead stems of Portulaca oleracea, Tuskegee, Ala. June 1901.
Perithecia 80-110 u diam., thin membranaceous, sparingly clothed with short (20-50x3 u) brown, continuous hairs mostly curved or irregularly bent. Sporules oblong, obtuse, 11-14x3-4 M on basidia longer than the sporules.
Vermicularia rugulosa E. & E. — On dead stems of Rumex crispus, Tuskegee, Ala. Aug. 1900.
Perithecia scattered, superficial, about \ mm. diam. mem¬ branaceous, rugulose, rather sparingly clothed especially around the base and sides with straight, rather short (90-120 ) black bristle-like hairs. Sporules oblong-fusoid, hyaline, straight, sub- obtuse, continuous, 13-15x2 fi.
Different from V. orthospora Sacc. or V. rectispora Cke.

NOTES ON NORTH AMERICAN FUNGI.
A. P. MORGAN.
From R. A. Harper, Madison, Wis., I have specimens of the following species of fungi :
1. Pori a cruentata Mont. — The species of Poria are greatly multiplied and many are not clearly distinguished. The colors of most of them, perhaps, are given from the dried speci¬ mens. This species is closely related to P. purpurea Fr., P. rufa Schrad., P. salmonicolor B. & C. and P. sub-rufa E. & D. In a proper classification, they should all stand close together.
2. Odontia fimbriata P. — This is the type species. It is easily recognized by the rhizomorphoid fibres running be¬ neath the hymenium. The color of the hymenium given in the Hym. Europaei of Fries is ‘‘pallida/’ but in Person’s Synopsis it is “incarnato-rufum” which answers best to all the specimens I have seen.
3. Polystictus pergamenus Fr. — This is a fine speci¬ men. The color of the hymenium by Saccardo’s Chromotaxia is livid rather than violet. It answers to the description of Polystictus abietinus Dickr. almost perfectly and I know of nothing to hinder its being so referred, except Fries’s stout as¬ sertion “sed nunquam in arboribus frondosis.”
4. Irpex tulipiferae Schw. — The synonymy of this species is as follows :

Journal of Mycology
[Vol. 8
Polyporus tulipiferae, Schweinitz, Syn. Car. 1822. Poly- porus corticola, var. tulipiferae, Fries, Elenchus I. 1828. Irpex tulipiferae, Schweinitz, N. A. Fungi, 1834. Poria tulipiferae, Saccardo, Sylloge VI. 1888.
It is not a Poria, because it is not truly resupinate; when fully grown it has a distinct reflexed pileus. The hymenium is at first wholly porose and the species might be called Poly- stictus tulipiferae. The early stage is liable to be confused with Merulius corium Fr. I have seen it labeled Polyporus niphodes B. & Br., which may be true for all I know, but Schweinitz’s name must take precedence. The favorite habitat of the species is on the timber of the Liriodendron, but it abounds on branches of Hickory and it may be found on Acer, Fagus, and other trees. I have never seen it on Pine or any other Evergreen.
PRELIMINARY NOTE ON TWO NEW GENERA OF
BASIDIOMYCETES.
GEO. F. ATKINSON.
I. TREMELLODENDRON, A NEW GENUS OF TREMELLINEAE.
In studying the structure of Thelephora Candida (Schw.) Fr., and T. pallida Schw., a little more than a year ago, I was surprised to find that they are not members of the Thelephoraceae, but belong in the Tremellineae, on account of the globose, cruci- ately divided basidia. They differ quite markedly from any of the described genera of the Tremellineae, but approach nearest (especially T. Candida), perhaps, to Sebacina Tul. In Sebacina Tub, however, the plants are effuse and incrusting, only rising from the substratum in an irregular manner, or when encrusting erect objects, as grasses, herbs, sticks, etc. T. Candida (Schw.), Fr., and T. pallida Schw. normally grow erect from the sub¬ stratum and have a characteristic, more or less dendroid branch¬ ing. They represent the type of a new genus for which I pro¬ pose the name Tremellodendron Atkinson n. g., with Tremello- dendron candidum ( Merisma Candida Schw.), and Tremelloden¬ dron schweinitzii ( Thelephora schweinitzii Pk., T. pallida Schw., not T. pallida Pers.) as representative species (at least in part), for it appears that there are true Thelephorae which are nearly or quite impossible to separate from T. pallida Schw., without an examination of the hymenium.
II. EOCRONARTIUM, A NEW GENUS OF AURICULARIACEAE.
This very interesting plant might very easily be mistaken for Typhula muscicola if the spores and basidia were not carefully examined. The plant was collected on living moss, July 8, 1902,

New Genera of Basidiomycetes .
107
by H. H. Whetzel. The basidia are curved, transversely divided, and formed on the outside of the long, slender, erect, fruit body. It represents the type of a new genus for which I propose the name Eocronartium. The use of this name does not imply that this plant is the direct progenitor of Cronartium of the Uredineae, but its form, habitat, and fructification forcibly suggest that it represents a type of the lower Basidiomycetes closely related phy- logenetically with Cronartium. This suggestion is even more striking when we know that the long, slender, columnar fruit body of Cronartium forms the curved, transversely septate pro- mycelia, bearing the sporidia, as soon as mature ; and the question may well be asked if the Uredineae do not represent a group of later development than the Auriculariaceae, and greatly special¬ ized through a long period of parasitism.
The new genus may be provisionally characterized as fol¬ lows :
Eocronartium Atkinson n. g. — Plants standing out from the substratum, more or less erect, filiform, or columnar, tough, subgelatinous when fresh. Hymenium covering all sides, and exposed. B'asidia curved or flexuous, slender, transversely divided, sterigmata about four (vary 3-5, etc.). Spores continu¬ ous, white, hyaline, germinating without division and forming one or several threads. One species at present known.
Eocronartium typhuloides Atkinson n. sp. — Plants pal¬ lid, or white, filiform, tapering gradually downward to a very slen¬ der base, 10-15 mm- high, .5-1 mm. thick. Bases free, but when the plants are numerous the clavulae of several adjacent ones may touch and in the course of development become grown together so that it gives the appearance of a stout, longitudinally grooved body with several stalks. Where the plants are more scattered, they remain simple. Basidia curved or more or less sinuous, 25- 40x6-9 ft, 3-5 septate. Sterigmata flexuous elongate, usually 10-20 x 3-4 /x. Spores fusoid, curved or inequilateral granular, 18-24x3.5-5 fi.
The plants are tough, pallid when fresh, but whiter when dry. In attempting to cut or break them, they stretch slightly, suggest¬ ing the consistency of rubber. Parasitic on mosses, Cascadilla woods, Ithaca, N. Y., July 8, 1902, C. U. herb. No. 9693 ; and other places at Ithaca.

THE GENUS ANGELINA Fr.
ELIAS J. DURAND.
The genus Angelina was established by Fries in 1849 t° include a single species, the Ascobolus conglomerate of Schwei- nitz. The original description of the genus indicated a plant with gelatinous ascomata, which became horny and closed in a hysteriiform manner when dry, the disk becoming papillate from the protuding asci. Schweinitz had already remarked the resemblance of this species to his own Hysterium rufescens , and Duby, concluding that the two species were identical, re¬ verted to the older name, so that the species has since passed under his combination as A. rufescens (Schw.) Duby. The same author quoted Fries to the effect that after an examination of two authentic specimens of H. rufescens in the herbarium of the Museum of Paris, he had concluded that one was simply an older stage of the other, and that it was this older condition which Schweinitz had called Ascobolus conglomeratus. This species he had already recognized as approaching more nearly to the Discomycetes than to the Pyrenomycetes.
Schweinitz had originally described the plant as an Hys- terium because in the dried condition the margins were inrolled or approximated in an hysteriiform manner. In his later de¬ scription the supposedly different species was referred to As¬ cobolus because the disk appeared black-papillate from the pro¬ truding asci. Duby remarked correctly that Fries had exag¬ erated the gelatinous nature of the moist plant, but incorrectly, as I think, placed the genus in the Hysteriinieae. Boudier doubtfully included Angelina in the Ascobolaceae, while Sac- cardo and Ellis and Everhart placed it in the Hysteriaceae. Lindau puts it in the Ftysteriineae, family Hypodermataceae.
I have recently had the opportunity of examining the types in the herbarium of Schweinitz, as well as of studying material in the perfectly fresh natural condition, in the vicinity of Ithaca. The following conclusions are based on these specimens. Schweinitz possessed several specimens marked Ascobolus con¬ glomerated Some one has separated these into two groups based on the color. In the first group the ascomata are crowded, elongated and variously bent and curved. The dry disk is widely exposed, and dark chestnut-brown. The exterior is the same color, but the margin is pale yellowish brown, the contrast be¬ ing quite strongly marked. In the second group the ascomata are similar in habit, form and color, but the margins are not perceptibly paler. The structural characters are identical in the two groups. The type of Hysterium rufescens is in color intermediate between the two. Its structural characters agree

The Genus Angelina
109
in every respect with those of Ascobolns conglomeratus. In my own recent collections all the above variations in the color of the margin are shown in a single patch. In the fresh speci¬ mens the substance is rather a fleshy-waxy, not at all gelatinous. The disk is widely exposed, and the asci do not project above the hymenium. It is rather difficult to see how the disk could become black-punctate from projecting asci when both they and the spores are hyaline. A section shows that the para- physes cohere above the asci forming an epithecium.
On the basis of the above characters I think the genus Angelina should be located in the Pezizineae, family Cenan- giaceae, where its spore characters place it near Cenangella.
I add a description and synonymy :

PRELIMINARY NOTES ON SOME NEW SPECIES
OF FUNGI.
GEO. F. ATKINSON.
Agaricus cretacellus, Atkinson n. sp. — Plants gregarius, sometimes a few jointed at the base; 5-8 cm. high, pileus 4-7 cm. broad, stems 6-10 mm. in thickness. Pileus white convex to ex¬ panded, thin, smooth, sometimes inclined to be slightly viscid in wet weather, when leaves cling to the surface ; sometimes with slight yellowish stains, flesh white with a tinge of pink sometimes. Gills narrow, 3-4 mm., narrowed behind, free, first white, then pink, and later dark greyish brown, not becoming blackish. The caps are sometimes fully expanded when the gills how only a flight tinge of funk. ^Spores 4-5 x 3^. Stem tapering from the 'enlarged' base, White, smooth above the annulus, chalky white be¬ low and covered with minute white powdery scales often ar¬ ranged in irregular concentric rings below; stem solid but the center less dense. Annulus persistent, white, smooth above, the lower surface with very fine floccose scales similar to those on the stem from which the annulus was separated. Odor and taste of almonds, as in A. arvensis. Growing in leaf mold, woods, Cascadilla creek, Ithaca, N. Y. C. U. herb. No. 5359, collected by Geo. F. Atkinson, September 7, 1900.
Amanita flavoconia, Atkinson n. sp. — Plants usually scat¬ tered, sometimes gregarious, 6-12 cm. high, pileus 3-8 cm. broad stems 4-15 mm. thick. Pileus convex then expanded, plane or broadly umbonate, fleshy, very thin except at the center, chrome yellow to orange yellow, darker when young and on the center, smooth, that is not striate, viscid, flesh white, covered with nu¬ merous small fiocculent patches or heaps of fragments of the yel¬ low powdery volva, which is easily removed and in wet weather sometimes is entirely absent from the pileus. Gills broad in the larger specimens, narrow in the smaller ones, 4-8 mm. broad, rounded at each end, free, not very crowded, white, very finely serrate or fimbriate from threads which attached the gills to the stem in the young plants. Spores oval-ovate, white, 6-9X4-6//. Stems stuffed, straight or flexuous, slightly tapering from the bulbous base, and at the apex broadening slightly, covered with fiocculent scales, tinged with sulphur, fine sulphur powder above the annulus, portions below the annulus covered with powdery masses or particles of the universal veil. Bulb not very promi¬ nent, smooth or rarely somewhat cracked, powdered with rem¬ nants of the volva. Annulus sulphur yellow or chrome yellow, membranous. The volva or universal veil consists of a yellowish powdery substance which separates into numerous powdery masses, covering the pileus and base of the stem, but which easily falls away.

Some New Species of Fungi
111
This species has been confounded with A. frostiana, and possibly the larger specimens with A. muse aria. It differs from both in the pileus not being striate, and from A. frostiana in the volva not being ocreate, and from A. muse aria in the stem being smooth, that is, in not having the coarse concentrically aranged scales.
Ground under Spruce hemlock east of Woodwardia Swamp, Freeville, N. Y., June 30, 1898, G. F. A. C. U. herb. No. 2420; woods north of Fall Creek, Ithaca, July 25, 1902, Bradfield & Thom, C. U. herb. No. 9963, and other places at Ithaca. It was quite common at Ithaca during the summer of 1902. It is the common yellow Amanita in the Adirondack woods.
Amanita flavorubescens Atkinson n. sp. — Plants scat¬ tered of gregarious, sometimes with the bases joined, 10-14 cm. high, caps 6-10 cm. broad, stems 6-12 mm. thick. Pileus con¬ vex to expanded, smooth, with very faint striae on the margin, covered with thick, chrome yellow, floccose patches of the volva, margin of pileus yellow, center wood brown to raw umber, flesh thin, yellowish even under the brown cuticle over the center. Gills long elliptical free, white, not crowded. Basidia clavate, 40-50x9-11 u, 4-spored. Spores oboval, granular, smooth, 8-10 x 6-8 u . Tram a of cap floccose, outer layer more compact and the threads slender. Stem even, with an ovate bulb, floccose scaly with fine floccose yellow scales above, and with reddish scales below. Annulus thin, membranous, yellow, 3 cm. from the apex of the stem, sometimes tearing into fragments. Volva yellow, breaking up into fragments.
This species is near A. rubescens, but the margin of the pileus, the A^olva, annulus and the upper part of the stem is canary yellow. Bruises of the pileus and the upper part of the stem do not turn red, (or only slightly so and very tardily), but bruises of the lower part of the stem turn slowly reddish. Ground, Coy Glen, Ithaca, N. Y., July 22, 1902, C. H. Kauff¬ man, C. U. herb. No. 9884. The species has also been received from Connecticut and from Pennsylvania.
Amanitopsis albocreata Atkinson n. sp. — Plants 10-13 cm. high, pileus 5-8 cm. broad, stems 6-12 mm. thick. Pileus convex to expanded, viscid when moist, white, or pale maize yellow in the center, or sometimes entirely pale maize yellow, finely striate and minutely tuberculate on the margin, covered with floccose patches of the volva which are easily removed when moist, but in drying become firmly agglutinated to the viscid surface ; flesh very thin except at the center, white. Gills rounded in front, narrowed behind, 3-6 mm. broad, free or slightly adnexed, edge floccose. Basidia 30-45 x 7-10 u, 4-spored. Spores globose, white, smooth, granular when young, with a large oil drop when old. Subhymenium of globose cells 6-12/4 in

Trama of cap, inner portion of large cells, surface of minute slender threads. Stems cylindrical, slightly tapering upward, white, minutely floccose mealy scales, hollow, abruptly enlarged below into a bulb. Volva ocreate, the limb narrow as in A. pan- therina , sometimes very slight, the stem also sometimes with floccose patches of the upper part of the volva in irregular con¬ centric rings on the lower part of the stem, the upper part of the volva forming floccose patches on the pileus.
This species differs from A. nivalis Grev., in the ocreate volva, that of A. nivalis Grev. being vaginate. A. nivalis of Peck, 426. Rept. N. Y. State Mu., p. 48, is probably identical.

The following list is made up largely of some fungi col¬ lected by Messrs. E. D. Merrill and E. V. Wilcox in Wyoming and Idaho during the summer of 1901. The other notes were made from specimens found on grasses in the herbarium of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The author is indebted to Dr. J. C. Arthur for verification of the determinations and de¬ scriptions of the Uredinaceae. Two species which have not been determined are included to call the attention of botanists to them in hopes that other collections may be made. The author would be glad to receive additional specimens of both for further study.

evidently the same form as referred to by Tracy and Galloway,8 and T. D. A.

Later in revising the genus,0 Scribner and Merrill changed the determina¬ tion of the specimen sent by Mr. Holway, which is now in the herbarium of the office of the Agrostologist, to Chaetochloa pur- purascens (H.

The au¬ thor has the specimen that was sent by Mr. Cockerell to the office of the Agrostologist for identification of the host, and it was determined at that time as Sporobolus depauperatus. The au¬ thor has again compared the specimen with typical material in the herbarium of the office of the Agrostologist and confirms the original determination. The two species are easily confused from a small specimen or without roots, but their habit is quite differ¬ ent. It is probable that the specimens collected by Griffiths are also on the same host.

NORTH AMERICAN USTILAGINEAE.
G. P. CLINTON.
CONTRIBUTION FROM THE CRYPTOGAM IC LABORATORY OF HARVARD
UNIVERSITY. 53.
The following paper is a result of studies made upon this group of fungi by the writer during the past two years in the Cryptogamic Laboratory of Harvard University. It is prelim¬ inary to a monograph of the Ustilagineae of North America that he hopes to issue in the near future, the work on this having been largely completed. In the present paper there is given a list of the species with their hosts and distribution so far as is now known. Synonyms have also been given in those cases where needed to show the identity of the species. The writer’s studies have shown that a number of forms, described chiefly from this country, do not deserve distinct specific recognition and in such

cases these are also given as synonyms under the proper species. The generic position of a number of species has been changed and such changes are indicated at the proper place. A few new species are also described here for the first time. In this paper proper specific names are not capitalized in order to conform to the usage of this Journal though this does not represent the writer’s ideas on the subject.
The writer is responsible for the following synonyms (printed in italics) : Cintractia patagonica Cke. & Mass, (synonym of Ustilago bromivora) ; Doassansia afPnis Ell. & Dearn. (Doassan- sia intermedia) ; Entyloma castaliae Holw. (Entyloma nym- phaeae) ; Entyloma holwayi Syd. (Entyloma polysporum) ; Schiz- onella sub trip da Ell. & Ev.

The following species reported or described from North America are excluded from the Ustilagineae in this paper. The genera Cerebella and Graphiola, which have had several spe¬ cies reported from this country and which are usually placed by American botanists in this group, are omitted as not properly belonging here.

[Vol. 8
Ustilago arenariae Ell. & Ev. on Arenaria congesta from Colorado is certainly not an Ustilago but has the appearance of ascomycetous spores merely mechanically adhering to the host. Ustilago cyanea, parasitic on Balsamea vulgaris, was found in California by Harkness and made the basis of anew genus, Spo- rophaga, with possible relationship to the Uredineae or Ustila- gineae. It may possibly belong with the Chytridineae but cer¬ tainly not with the Ustilagineae. Ustilaginoidea oryzae (Pat.) Bref. has been reported in this country on imported rice seed. Brefeld’s later work has shown that this genus does not belong with the Ustilagineae. Ustilago flavo-nigrescens B. & C. on Scleria sp. from Cuba and Ustilago viridis Ell. & Ev. on Setaria sp. from Louisiana appear, from an examination of authentic specimens, to be the sclerotial stages of species of Ustilaginoidea, the latter probably being the same as Ustilaginoidea setariae Bref. These species are therefore excluded. Ustilago ficuum on figs and Ustilago phoenicis on dates, both not uncommon in markets and Ustilago fischeri on kernels of corn (reported from Jamaica) are now known to be species of Sterigmatocystis. Sorosporium borrichiae Ell. & Ev. on Borrichia argentea from the island of Cozumel, off Yucatan, has been examined by the writer and like¬ wise seems to be a species of Sterigmatocystis, appearing on the host apparently because the flower heads were dried under unfav¬ orable conditions of moisture. Ustilago gynerii Vize on Gy- nerium argenteum from California was long ago shown to be a species of Gymnosporium. Entyloma alsines Hals, on Stellaria media from New Jersey seems not to be an Entyloma, at least a careful examination of the type material in several exsiccati and that received especially for examination failed to show any spore stage except the Cercospora-like conidia on the surface of the leaves. The writer is indebted to Bresadola for type material of Doassansia sintensii Bres. on Cedro matchos from Porto Rico. This is certainly no Doassansia. The diseased leaves are coria¬ ceous and therefore not of the type infected by this genus ; besides this, the discolored spots show nothing to indicate defi¬ nitely what caused them. Doassansia zizaniae on old stems of Zizania aquatica and Burrillia globulifera occurring on similar parts of Glyceria fluitans, both described by Davis from Wis¬ consin, do not seem to be true Ustilagineae but are more prob¬ ably sclerotial stages of species of Ascomycetes. Ustilago osmun- dae Pk., reported on Osmunda regalis first from New York and later from other eastern states, probably belongs with the Hypho- mycetes instead of the Ustilagineae. This curious species needs further study. Ustilago panici-miliacei (Pers.) Wint. has been reported erroneously in this country, having been confused with Sorosporium syntherismae.
Sphacelotheca has been extended by the addition of a num¬ ber of species usually placed under Ustilago. A few species have
Oct. 1902]
North American Ustilagineae
131
also been changed from Ustilago to Cintractia. Sphacelotheca and Cintractia are not considered good genera by some botanists though apparently they deserve such recognition. As considered here Sphacelotheca is characterized by the possession of a false membrane of definite sterile fungous cells, that envelopes the sorus before its rupture. Groups of these sterile cells are also often found within the spore-mass. There is also present a central columella, usually composed of the remains of the plant tissues, and the spore mass when young shows a centripetal devel¬ opment around this. Because of this method of spore develop¬ ment certain of these species, as well as a few Ustilagos, have been placed under Cintractia by some botanists. Cintractia (including Anthracoidea of Brefeld), however, is characterized by spores, usually of a peculiar black-brown color, that develope gradually in a centripetal manner forming a sorus that remains rather permanently and firmly agglutinated. Species of this genus also often have more or less evidence of a false membrane and a columella. They occur usually on the Cyperaceae or on related families. The genus Thecaphora, as considered here, includes those species whose rather firmly united spore-balls con¬ sist of reddish-brown spores smooth on the contiguous surfaces but variously marked on the free. So far as is known the ger¬ mination is by elongated germ tubes that usually produce solitary terminal conidia. Sorosporium, with which it has been con¬ fused, has spores much like Ustilago and the spore-balls are often only temporarily united. Burrillia has been made to include those Doassansia-like species that lack a true cortex.
The writer wishes to express his especial obligation to Professors Farlow and Thaxter, of Harvard, for their very great help, in many ways, in furthering his study of this group. He is also indebted to a considerable number of American and some European botanists who have furnished specimens or otherwise rendered aid. Specific acknowledgment of such aid will be made later. That a wealth of material has been available for exam¬ ination is shown by the fact that every species listed from this country, except one, has been seen. Type material of all species described from North America has been examined. A great difficulty in the systematic study of the group is that with such an abundance of material one finds, in some cases, such great variation that it is often a matter of arbitrary decision as to the disposition of certain specimens or even as to the treatment of certain species. It is hoped that the minimum of errors of judg¬ ment have attended the work in this respect.

sporium williamsii Griff., Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 29:296. 1902.
Hosts : Agropyron occidentale, Mont., S. Dak. ; Distichlis maritima, Nev., Ore., Tex. ; Elymus canadensis, Ia. ; E. conden- satus, Nev., Ore., E. sitanion, Wash.; E. striatus, Mont.; Ory- zopsis cuspidata, — ; Sporobolus cryptandrus, Colo, (type U. sporoboli) ; Sporobolus sp., Calif.; Stipa comata, Mont., Neb.; Sicoronata, Calif. ; S. eminens, Calif. ; S. occidentale, Ore. ; S. richardsonii, Wyo. (type S. williamsii) ; S. setigera, Calif., Tex.; S. spartea, Ia. (type U. minima), Ill., S. Dak.; S. virid- ula, S. Dak. ; Stipa sp., Utah, Wash.
When the spores of this species begin to germinate they often swell in size and split off a cap from the epispore or else crack irregularly. Sorosporium williamsii seems to be merely this condition of this species. The so-called spore-balls are noth- , ing more than a mechanical adhering of irregular masses of the spores that is often met with in Ustilago where the specimens have dried under certain conditions.
USTILAGO LONGISSIMA (Sow.) Tub— Hosts: Gly- ceria arundinacea, Ia.. Minn.; G. grandis, Mass., Mich., N. Y., Verm. ; Glyceria sp. N. H.
The spores of the American specimens of this species average slightly larger than those from Europe even on the same host.
USTILAGO LONGISSIMA var. MACROSPORA Davis. — Hosts : Glyoeria fluitans, Ill., Me., Wis. (type) ; G. laxa, Me.
The form on G. laxa from Maine is somewhat intermediate between this and the species.
USTILAGO MEXICANA Ell. & Ev.— Host: Muhlen- bergia sp., Mex. (type).
USTILAGO HORDEI (Pers.) Kell. & Sw. Host: Hor- deum sp. cult. More or less commonly found where barley is grown.
USTILAGO LEVIS (Kell. & Sw.) Magn.— Host: Avena sativa, Conn., Ia., Ill., Kans. (type), Ohio, Wis., W. Virg.
This species is often confused with Ustilago avenae. While probably not so common as that species it is much more common than the reported distribution would indicate.

USTILAGO PERENNANS Rostr.— Cintractia avenae Ell. & Tr., Joum. Myc. 6:77. My. 1890.
Host : Arrhenatherum avenaceum, Conn., Ia., Ill., Miss, (type Cintractia avenae Ell. & Tr.), Ohio, Verm.
USTILAGO AVENAE (Pers.) Jens. — Hosts: Avena fatua Calif. ; A. sativa, commonly distributed over N. Amer. where oats are grown.
USTILAGO NUDA (Jens.) Kell. & Sw. — Host : Hor- deum sps. cult., commonly found where barley is raised as a farm crop.
USTILAGO TRITICI (Pers.) Jens. — Host: Triticum vulgare, a common parasite on this host in North America.
USTILAGO MUHLENBERGIAE Clint, n. sp.— Sori in the inflorescence, ovoid to subspherical, about 3-6 mm. in length, protected by thin, semi-transparent membrane of the infected enveloping glumes, upon rupture disclosing black-brown dusty spore mass ; spores rather dark reddish brown, chiefly spherical, with brittle epispore that breaks up into very small granular echinulations (especially at opposite sides of the spore thus leav¬ ing a darker less broken central band) 4-6 y- in diameter.
Host: Muhlenbergia texana, Ariz. (type).
The writer is indebted to Professor Farlow for this species which was collected by Pringle in southern Arizona in 1884. It is peculiar because of its very small spores and because of the curious way, as shawn by an immersion, in which the epi¬ spore breaks into granular echinulations. The germination of the spores has not been observed.
USTILAGO RESIDUA Clint, n. sp. — Ustilago segetum Auct. p. p. Ustilago segetum f. Danthoniae Ell. and Ev. N. A. F. 1893a. 1887.
Sori prominent, in the inflorescence, infecting the whole, or sometimes confined to the individual spikelets, usually enclosed by leaf sheaths, on exposure showing as olive brown dusty spore mass ; spores rather light olive brown, ovoid or ovate to spheri¬ cal or occasionally irregular, thin walled, with coarse granules giving granular reticulate appearance, usually 5-5-8.5a> some¬ times even iifx in length.
Hosts : Danthonia compressa N. Y. ; D. spicata, N. H. ; Danthonia sp., Colo.
This is near Ustilago tritici but has spores more granular reticulate, averaging larger and not lighter colored on one side. It is one of the forms that have been included in the old species Ustilago segetum, and, so far as the writer can ascertain, has not, as yet, been given specific distinction. Ustilago danthoniae Kalchb., if described accurately, differs decidedly in its much larger spores.

Hosts: Hilaria cenchroides, Mex. (type U. hilariae Henn.) ; Stenotaphrum americanum, Bermuda, Jamaica (type).
This fungus has been described a number of times during recent years by different botanists. The first named applied to it is apparently that used by Ellis and Everhart in 1893. Ustilago hilariae Henn. on Hilaria sp. does not seem distinct from the form on Stenotaphrum and so they have been placed together here. Ustilago stenotaphri of McAlpine is apparently a distinct species which was described in 1895.
USTILAGO LORENTZIANA Thum.— Ustilago holwayi Diet., Bot. Gaz. 18:253. 1893.

Dietel’s Ustilago holwayi does not seem to be specifically different from de Thumen’s species if one takes into considera¬ tion the variations that are met with in specimens from this country, some of which agree exactly with the South American type of the species.
USTILAGO BROMIVORA (Tul.) Fisch. d. Waldh.— Cintractia patagonica Cke. & Mass., Grev. 18:34. 1889.
Hosts : B'romus arvensis, Colo. ; ? B. breviaristatus, Calif., Ia. ; B. ciliatus, Colo. ; B. hookerianus, Calif., Wash. ; B. hor- deaceus var. glabrescens, Wash. ; B. kalmii, Utah ; B. margin- atus, Colo., Ore., Wy. ; B. mollis, Wash. ; B. racemosus, Wash. ; B. secalinus, Calif., Ore. ; B. vulgaris, Mont. ; B. vulgaris var. eximius, Wash.
An examination of the type of Cintractia patagonica shows it to be only an unusually vigorous form infecting the basal parts of the outer glumes as well as the inner parts.
USTILAGO BROMIVORA var. MACROSPORA Farl.— Host: Bromus ciliatus, Colo (type), la.?
This seems entitled only to varietal rank though the spores are much larger than those ordinarily possessed by the species. Specimens have been found on the same host that apparently belong to the species rather than this variety.

USTILAGO CHLORIDICOLA Henn.— Host : Chloris sp., Calif, (type).
USTILAGO TILLANDSIAE Patters, n. sp.— Sori destroy¬ ing inner flower parts, protected by enclosing bracts and perianth, forming an irregular dusty black spore mass about 1-3 cm. in length ; spores olive brown, chiefly ovoid to spherical, thin walled, more or less collapsed or hemispherically cupped, smooth or with brittle epispore breaking up into thin polygonal areas, 7-13 11 in length.
Hosts: Tillandsia leiboldiana, Mex.; Tillandsia sp., Costa Rica (type).
The writer first learned of this species through Mrs. Flora W. Patterson of the Department of Agriculture and later on searching in the Gray Herbarium found it on specimens from Mexico. It is somewhat questionable whether the species is a true Ustilago or some Hyphomycete having the appearance of a smut, though it is more probably the former. A study of the method of spore production and germination may be necessary to determine its true position.
USTILAGO OLIVACEA (DC.) Tub— Ustilago caricicola Tr. & Earle, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 26:493. 1899.

Host: Triodia cuprea (Tricuspis seslerioides), Mo. (type)*
This species bears the above name in the U. S. Dept. Agr. Herbarium and is evidently new. The writer is indebted to Mrs. Flora W. Patterson for the privilege of examining specimens. The fungus was collected by M. B. Waite at Charleston, Mo., in the fall of 1889. It is related to Ustilago spermophora but has spores that are more regular, more prominently verruculo- echinulate and darker colored.
USTILAGO MINOR Nort. — Host: Bouteloua hirsuta,
Kans. (type).
Griffiths has listed a number of additional hosts for this species but they seem to the writer, who has examined the type of the species, to come more properly under Ustilago hieronymi. The specimens assigned to these two species show such variation that it is difficult to determine where the specific lines should be drawn.
USTILAGO HIERONYMI Schrot.— Ustilago filifera Nort.,. Trans. Acad. Sci. St. Louis 7:23 7. 1896.
Hosts : Bouteloua aristidoides Ariz., Mex. ; B. bromoides, Ariz. ; B. eriopoda, Ariz.; B. oligostachya, Ariz., Kans.’ (type U. filifera), Mont.; B. polystachya, Ariz.; B. racemosa, Kans. (type U. filifera), Tex.; Pappophorum wrightii, Ariz.
Perhaps some of the larger spored forms (on B. oligostachya for instance) deserve specific recognition. The writer is also somewhat in doubt about the specific position of the specimens issued by Griffiths in his West American Fungi on Pappophorum wrightii and Bouteloua polystachya as in both of these cases the sori are in the aborted inflorescence instead of on the leaves.
USTILAGO BUCHLOES Ell. & Tr. — Host: Buchloe dactyloides, Neb., N. Mex. (type). ,
Further study may possibly show this to be the same as the last species.

Magnus has placed this species under the genus Cintractia because of the method of spore formation. As considered here

Host : Eriocaulon septangulare, Mass, (type U. eriocauli Clint.), N. H., Conn.
This was described by the writer in 1901 as a new species, as it was considered distinct from Cintractia eriocauli on Erio¬ caulon fenestratum, described by Massee from Madagascar. Since then specimens of the latter have been received from Massee and the two prove to be the same. Massee’s original description is at fault in that it gives the spores as smooth when they are distinctly verruculose; the fungus, also, seems to come more propei ly under Ustilago than under Cintractia.

USTILAGO VIOLACEA var.

Host: Silene watsoni, Wash. (type).
European botanists seem inclined to keep Schroeter’s species of Ustilago major on Silene otites distinct from Ustilago violacea. The spores of the variety described here are much like those of the former species and if the two are the same it seems doubtful if the European form on Silene otites deserves specific rank. This vari¬ ety represents the extreme variation from the species as found in this country. Silene watsoni is also a host for the species.

Host: Paspalum notatum, Mex. (type).
This species is very near Sphacelotheca ischaemi, in fact is scarcely to be distinguished from the verruculose forms of that species, though it has a more luxuriant sorus and different host. For this reason there may be some question if it is entitled to the specific rank given it by Hennings.

Host: Carex fllifolia, Mont, (collected by F. W. Anderson, Apr. 1888 at Sand Coulee), Neb. (collected by T. A. Williams. Tune 23, 1890, at War Bonnet Canon), Wyo. (type T. externa).
This species' was first collected nearly fifteen years ago by Anderson who distributed it to several herbaria under the name of Ustilago caricis. Later it was collected by Williams. Recently it has been described from Wyoming, as a new species, bv Grif¬ fiths. The writer had it described (in manuscript) as a new spe¬ cies when Griffiths description came to hand. It is related to C. caricis but differs by having more regular, smooth spores with evident hyaline enveloping membranes. These membranes are evidently hygroscopic and by means of the absorbed water the

CINTRACTIA AXICOLA var. MINOR Clint, n. var. — Sori and spores as in the species 'except latter smaller, chiefly 10- 13/i in length.
Host : Cyperus grayii, N. Y.
This variety is based on the specimen issued in Ell. and Ev. N. A. F. no. 2423 as Ustilago (Cintractia) axicola Berk. Be¬ sides having a different host it differs from this species in having smaller spores. It sometimes occurs at the base of the spikelets forming a conspicuous smutty mass. In some respects it agrees with a species Spegazzini has described from South America as Cintractia peribebuyensis on Cyperus.

Host : Rhynchospora sp., Mex.
This form is described from specimens issued in Sydow's Ustilagineen no. 22 o from Mexico. The synonyms given are those that have been assigned by others, the writer not having seen type specimens of these. This Mexican collection, at least, seems to deserve specific distinction from both Cintractia axicola and Cintractia leucoderma. From the former it differs not only in the host and part infected but also in its darker colored spores and from the latter in the position and size of the sorus and in its smooth spores.

SOROSPORIUM PROVINCIALE (Ell. & Gall.) Clint, n.. sp. — Sorosporium ellisii var. provincialis Ell. & Gall., Journ. Mycol. 6:31-2. 1890.
Sori in the inflorescence, linear, often 6 or more cm. in length, concealed within the leaf sheath or the upper part pro¬ truding, with false membrane that becomes lacerated as exposed and with black brown granular spore mass ; spore-balls variable, apparently gradually wearing away, chiefly 50-100 /* or possibly even longer ; spores medium light reddish brown though often darker in places, rather regular, ovoid to chiefly subspherical, minutely verruculose, with thick (3 t* ) uniform cell wall, 14-19 in length.
Host: Andropogon furcatus, Mo. (type), Neb.
This species is based on specimens No. 2425 in Ell. & Ev. N. A. F. It seems entitled to specific rather varietal rank as it is the most sharply marked off of the related species on Andro¬ pogon. It is especially distinguished by the thick uniform walls of the spores.

Plost : Guardiola platyphylla, Mex. (type).
This interesting species bears the above name in the U. S. Dept. Agr. Herb. (Div. Veg. Path. & Phys.) and is evidently

new. It was collected by Dr. Palmer in Mexico. The pustules are l ireer and more clustered than those formed by Thecaphora pilulaeformis. The hyaline intersporal areas are peculiar and it is probable that by further gelatinization of these the spores be¬ come separated. In the younger conditions the spore-balls are imbedded in the prominent semi-gelatinized mycelium. The ger¬ mination of the species is not known.

Hosts: Andropogon argenteus, Tex. (type) ; A. perforatus, Mex. ; A. saccharoides, Tex., Mex.
This species is related through its very thick but much more regular epispore to Tolyposporella chrysopogonis though it does not form the definite spore-balls of that species. Its spores have considerable resemblance to Kuntzeomyces ustilaginoideus but the outer coat, upon pressure, does not break open and let out the .unruptured spore as does that species but the fissure extends clear through the spore.

TILLETIA EARLEI Griff. — Host: Agropyron occidentale, S. Dak. (type).
This species is peculiar in that the sorus occurs in the modi¬ fied culm of his host.
TILLETIA TEXANA Long n. sp. — Sori in ovaries, ovoid or oblong, about 3-5 mm. in length, more or less hidden by envel¬ oping glumes, forming a somewhat agglutinated light-reddish brown spore mass ; sterile cells not very numerous, hyaline, with very thick often lamellate walls and central contents; spores very light-colored, orange yellow (appearing as if somewhat imma¬ ture) chiefly subspherical or spherical, with prominent conical tubercles (blunt or sometimes quite pointed) which extend out 2-3 n to the evident hyaline envelope, chiefly 19-25 n in diameter.
Host: Hordeum pratense, Tex. (type).
In Europe Tilletia hordei occurs as a parasite on a species of Hordeum but that smut possesses reticulate spores and so is quite distinct from the species described here. This description is based on the single collection made by Long and as the spores have somewhat the appearance of being immature, it may be that the description will need some changing with further study of the fungus. It is closely related to Tilletia buchloeana but apparently differs in the slightly larger lighter colored spores with more prominent tubercles and in the character of the hyaline membrane. The spores have not been germinated.

This is not a typical Urocystis since it lacks the sterile pe¬ ripheral cells. Pazschke has placed it under Ustilago but it has characters not in entire agreement with that genus. It seems best to let it remain under Urocystis until more is known of its de¬ velopment ; especially of the germination of the spores.

Host: Stipa comata, Ida. (type).
This species is based on a specimen in S. M. Tracy’s her¬ barium labeled Sorosporium granulosum Ell. & Tr. on Stipa comata, collected by Dr. F. V. Hayden in Idaho in 1859. It differs from the type of Sorosporium granulosum in the same herbarium on Stipa viridula in that the sori are in the spikelets,, and the spore balls, have fewer spores and possess a definite covering of sterile cells.

Llost : Echinodorus rostratus, Calif., Fla. (type).
This species was, apparently, first reported from California by Plarkness, who called it Doassansia alismatis. Setchell evi¬ dently made an examination of this material as he states that it is not this species but an Entyloma with a compact sorus. The writer’s description is based on a specimen in the herbarium of the U. S. Dept. Agr., Div. Veg. Path, and Phvs., collected by Simson in Florida in 1892. Sections from this material show that the sori have no definite cortex and that the spores are larger and thicker walled than either Doassansia alismatis or D. sagittariae to which the species has superficial resemblance. The sori are also much larger ; these larger sori in some cases, however, appear to be due to a very complete fusion of smaller sori. The peculiarity of the species is that the sori are not com¬ posed entirely of spores but of sterile cells and spores intermixed. The sterile cells are not strikingly different from the spores but have more the appearance of the ordinary cortical cells. Upon staining with eosin the spores become more evident through their thicker more regular walls.

NOTES ON FUNGI.
JOHN W. HARSH BERGER, PH. D.
The following notes are largely composed of observations made upon a variety of fungi and are based upon field and labora¬ tory study of the same during the intervals of a busy career of teaching. They are gathered together, therefore, in the hope that they may prove useful to other workers in the same field of inquiry. It is the intention of the writer to add to them from time to time, as the material collected and the observations upon the same seem to warrant their publication in serial form.
Box Tortoises and Toadstools. — The common box tortoise ( Cistudo virginica) of our eastern woodlands is extremely fond of a rather frequent toadstool, Russula vires cens Fr. A number of caps of this fungus, found in the woods at Primos, Delaware Co., Pa., on August 7, 1901, were gnawed in a rather jagged manner. Later, a tortoise was found immediately in front of a large light green Russula. It stopped work upon the approach of the ob¬ server, and although it was watched for some time, it remained perfectly quiet and alert. An inspection of its horny beak, how¬ ever, revealed torn fragments of the toadstool smeared over the horny surface. I, therefore, succeeded in connecting the tortoise with the torn aspect of the fungus.
The Culture of Monilia martini S. & E. var. incen- diarium E. & E. — The fungus in question grows on trees killed by fire, where it forms a superficial growth of a bright, orange- yellow color. It was distributed by Ellis in his North American Fungi (No. 1389), and I am indebted to that botanist for the identification of the plant discovered by me in great abundance on burned willow limbs in Woodland Cemetery, Philadelphia.
It was found to be good material to demonstrate to botanical classes typical conidial formation. The following experiments

were tried to ascertain the best media upon which to cultivate it. A number of substances, viz., potatoes, slices of bananas, banana skins, slices of orange, Neuchatel cheese, orange peels, slices of apple, prune broth, stewed prunes, molasses, pine charcoal and bread were used as culture media. The pine charcoal was tried, because the fungus was found growing on burned trees. Spores were sown by means of a sterilized platinum loop wetted in dis¬ tilled water and applied with the spores to the surface of the several culture media. The following account gives in synopsis the results obtained.
Potato (raw and cut open). — No perceptible growth.
Banana Slices. — No growth of Monilia, but a rich develop¬ ment of Penicillium glaucum Link, and later of Rhizopus nigri¬ cans Ehbg.
Banana Skin. — Covered by Penicillium glaucum Link, and a small round patch of Monilia.
Orange Slices. — Invaded by Penicillium and Rhizopus.
Orange Peels. — Not suitable for Monilia.
Apple Slices. — No development of the orange-yellow fungus.
Prune Broth. — Monilia made a rapid growth upon the sur¬ face of the broth, the conidial chains being formed most plenti¬ fully along the edges of the Petri dishes in contact with the air.
Stewed Prunes. — This culture material was covered by a luxuriant growth of Rhizopus, later by Penicillium and a scatter¬ ing growth of Monilia between the denser mycelia of the above named moulds.
Neuchatel Cheese. — No development of Monilia martini S. & E. var. incendiarium E. & E.
Molasses. — No growth of any sort, although a rdtntiful sup¬ ply of spores was sown.
Pine Charcoal. — Spores of the fungus studied were sown upon the surface of several charcoal blocks. Monilia, although, as its varietal name implies, made a growth on this medium.
Bread. — Of all the materials experimented with, bread was found to be the most suitable substance upon which to grow Monilia martini S. & E. var. incendiarium E. & E. The fungus later was kept for several months in a flourishing condition on bread alone. Upon bread, it forms a white, cottony mycelium, later, as the conidia are formed, assuming an orange-yellow color. Three to five days elapse, depending upon the weather, from the time the spores are sown until a new crop of spores is obtained. The fungus can be kept alive for about three weeks, when another sowing upon fresh bread should be made.

Peziza repanda Wahlenb. in Pennsylvania. — Mcll- vaine in his book “One Thousand American Fungi” (p.558) gives the distribution of this fungus, as : New York, Ellis ; Minnesota, Johnson ; Ohio, Lloyd ; Pennsylvania, Miller. It occurs, accord¬ ing to him, on the ground, or on decaying wood. M. C. Cooke (Handbook of British Fungi II, p. 669) mentinos it as one of the British funguses occuring on the ground and on stumps. It was discovered by the writer at Sherwood, near Angora, Phila¬ delphia on an old rotten log in very considerable abundance. The specimens collected, some two or three hundred in number, varied in size from the diameter of a ten cent piece to one or two, or three inches across. The individuals were clustered, or disposed singly ; some were saucer-shaped, others deeper and more bowl-shaped. The color was nearly white on the outer surface and a light, yellowish-brown color on the concave inner side.
Spore Discharge in Peziza badia Pers. — A considerable amount of this ascomycete was found at Crum Creek, Penna., May 20, 1901. When gathered in the hand and held for a mo¬ ment, a discharge of the spores took place with a puff, like the curling smoke at the muzzle of a discharged gun. At intervals of several minutes, the same phenomenon took place until appa¬ rently all of the spores had been set free from the asci.
Clitopilus abortivus B. & C. — The statement is made in an authoritative work on the fungi of North America, that “the fun¬ gus is so named because of the abortive form of it frequently found associated with it.” From this sentence, one would infer, that the normal form is more abundant than the aborted one which is found with it. Nevertheless in the season of 1901, the aborted plants were by far the most abundant in the neighborhood of Philadelphia. A search through several woods was rewarded by the collection of many specimens of the rounded, egg-shaped, aborted form and only a few examples of the normal gill-bearing fungus.
Distribution of the Nuclei in the Feeding Plasmodium of Fuligo septica Gmel. — I have described elsewhere* the pecu¬ liar feeding habits of the plasmodium of Fuligo septica Gmel. Sections of the host fungus Pleurotus sapid us and of the plasmo¬ dium which was actively streaming over it were made and mounted in balsam. The material was killed and hardened in 95 per cent, alcohol, was passed into paraffin, cut, and stained on the slide. Iron-haematoxylon was found the most satisfactory stain, the sections being left in the iron stain 4 hours and in haematoxylon 12 hours. A study of the sections, thus prepared, showed an interesting character of nuclear distribution, and served to prove further, that the nucleus serves as the trophic

center of the cell. A fragment of a cell deprived of its nucleus may live for a considerable time and manifest the power of coordinated movement without perceptible impairment. Such a mass of protoplasm is, however, devoid of the powers of assimi¬ lation, growth and repair, and sooner or later dies. In other words, those functions that involve constructive metabolism cease with its removal. There is, therefore, strong reason to believe, that the nucleus plays an essential part in the constructive meta¬ bolism of the cell, and through this is especially concerned with the formative processes involved in growth and development. For these and many other reasons, the nucleus is generally re¬ garded as a controlling centre of cell activity.* This activity of the nucleus is still further confirmed by a study of the plas- modium in question. Before hardening the material in alcohol, bit: streaming protoplasm of the myxomycete formed a loose reti¬ culum. The main streams of movement were cord-like and in places heaped up into considerable masses lying upon the gill surface of the mushroom. A section across the gills of the oyster- mushroom with the feeding plasmodium upon it shows the strings of plasmodial protoplasm in cross section. The protoplasm, when stained with iron haematoxylon, is found to be spongy in nature with large, open chambers across which run delicate strands of plasmic substance. The nuclei vary in such sections of individual streams of protoplasm, according to the following count : 175, 45, 33, 157, 8, 25, 20, 50, 172, made at random. The nuclei are dark, and they appear, therefore, as small dark circular grains in the faintly stained protoplasm. Their distribution in this protop¬ lasm concerns us here. The larger number of nuclei are found in close proximity to the gill surface of the mushroon upon which the plasmodium is feeding. In some cases, they are so crowded toge¬ ther as to appear in the form of an irregular deeply staining mass in close contact with the food substance. The distal surface of the plasmodium contains few, or no nuclei, and the central body of protoplasm quite a number. One, however, is struck by the large number of nuclei that lie near the actively digesting lower surface. This distribution of the nuclei is of interest in connec¬ tion with the statement above that the nucleus controls the con¬ structive metabolism of the cell. The digestion of the food pre¬ supposes the activity of several ferments. That a process of digestion is going on is evident from an inspection of the gill surfaces. Here the spores have been removed from their sterig- mata, the sterigmata have been digested and the free ends of the basidia have been planed down by the zymogenic activity of the plasmodium. Apparently, the distribution of the food supply is regulated by the large number of nuclei, that seem to be attracted

chemotactically to the incoming supplies of newly prepared food substances.
Hypoxylon coccineum Bull, and Alcohol. — Hypoxylon coccineum Bull, is a pyrenomycetous fungus found growing on the limbs of beech trees. As far as the writer knows, the species is confined to a single host — the beech. In color, the fruit bodies are a dark, brick-red color. The stromata are erumpent, subglo- bose; J-f cm. in diameter, and solitary, or partially confluent. When placed in alcohol, the brick-red color is removed and the subglobose stroma became umber-brown in color. The alcohol be¬ comes a sherry wine color through the presence of the dissolved pigment. The solution of the pigment begins almost immediately after the fungus is placed in alcohol.
Relationship of a Fungus (Scorias spongiosa Schw.) and a Scale Insect (Schizoneura imbricator). — Living on the limbs, twigs and leaves of the beech in the deep shade of the forest is found a scale insect ( Schizoneura imbricator) , which is covered by a woolw coat consisting largely of a wTaxy secretion from the body. This wool-like material is quite abundant, and where the insects live in masses together the entire limb, or leaf surface has a downy white appearance. The abdomen of the insect keeps constantly moving up and down with a jerking mo¬ tion, and the cottony material, therefore, is in constant agitation. The insects secrete a honey dew, so copiously, that it flows down the main branches and trunks of the beech trees, spreads out over the surface of the beech leaves and finally reaches the ground where it covers the mosses and forest litter. As the insects die, their bodies covered with the downy wax become mixed up together with honey dew, so that a rich pabulum is provided suitable for the growth of fungi.
One fungous species in particular seems to be confined to the rich food, which as found upon the trees and on the ground is of an ash-gray color. The pyrenomycetus fungus in question, Scorias spongiosa Schw., soon appears and completely covers the ground, limbs and leaves where the ash-gray material col¬ lects. The mycelium of much branched, rigid, septate hyphse is compacted together by a mucilagenous substance and forms a blackish, spongy mass, which bleaches to a yellowish brown color upon weathering. The larger glued together strands of the my¬ celium bristle with branches developed from the larger hyphae. These rather rigid branches, interlocking together, assist in mak¬ ing a spongy texture, which gives specific name to the plant.
The perithecia of the fungus found by the writer are abund¬ ant, ovate, or pyriform. The spermagonia, however, which are enlarged at the base and taper into a long neck open at the apex, are more plentiful in the material from the woods along Crum Creek, Delaware Co., Penna., than the perithecia. The ascos-

pores are multicellular of a dark brown color, their cell walls being more evident and the constrictions between the cells more distinct than in the example figured by Ellis * in plate X, figure 3, of his North American Pyrenomycetes. The prodigious for¬ mation of sporidia in the spermagonia accounts for the pheno¬ menal spread of the fungus during the early autumn days. The presence of the mycelium on the surface of the leaves does no apparent injury to the leaf substance. The fungus is a sapro¬ phyte and feeds superficially on the mixed honey dew and insect substance. When fully matured, the whole mass can be removed from the beech without the slightest injury to the upper leaf epi¬ dermis. However, the formation of starch in the leaf cells seems to be checked, Scorias spongiosa Schw., of a black color, acts as an almost perfect screen, shutting off the sun’s rays, and thus influencing in a substantial manner the starch production of the beech host, so that, if it were not for supplies derived from other parts of the tree fully exposed to the sunlight considerable dam¬ age might be done to the shaded leaves. We have, therefore, in the saprophytic association here described another interesting example of the inter-dependence of organisms.

The Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station has issued (Bulletin 128) a general index to its Reports and Bulletins, vol¬ umes 1 to 20, 1882 to 1901, a 43-page pamphlet. The references are not to the several Annual Reports and Nos. of the Bulletins but to the year and pages — a continuous pagination having been followed for the publications of each year after 1888. Under the head of “Diseases” of plants, of alfalfa, apple, asparagus,

barberry, barley, bean, beet (and all other commonly cultivated plants), the entries cover about 4 pages. After each the disease or the fungus in question is given, thus : Alfalfa, leaf spot fungus ; Asparagus, rust ; Tomato, fusarium, etc. There is also a complete index to technical [botanical] names. These Reports, though con¬ taining no account of extended research along mycological lines, nevertheless record numerous observations of the occurrence of parasitic fungi, experiments for checking their ravages, and voluminous compilations as to the character and life histories as well as their economic aspects. Amateurs, beginners and even specialists will therefore find the Ohio publications a useful ency¬ clopedia of plant diseases.
Text Book on Bacteriology. — The Laboratory Guide in Elementary Bacteriology by William Dodge Frost (pub¬ lished by the author, Madison, Wisconsin) is a book in demand as shown by the appearance after one year of a second, but slightly changed edition. The secret of its success is doubtless centered in the fact that it is essentially the work that the author has been using in his classes. Part I, General Bacteriology, occupies 133 pages; Part II, Medical Bacteriology, covers pages 134-348. The actual use of this book will doubtless show its thorough practicability, satisfactory completeness and excellent character which are evident to the reviewer; it is therefore most highly commended to all interested in practical bacteriology.
Apple Scab is the title of an important Bulletin (No. 67, pp. 109-156, Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, Decem¬ ber 1901) by George P. Clinton. A general account is given of the fungus including its parasitic or temporary stage on leaves and fruit, Fusicladium dendriticum ; and its saprophytic or per¬ manent stage, Venturia, on the dead leaves. The connection of the former with the latter, — suggested by Goethe in 1887, fig¬ ured by Brefeld in 1891, and fully studied (the scabs of Apple, Pear, and Cherry) in 1894 by Aderhold who connected them with species of Venturias, — was corroborated by Mr. Clinton; the latter’s work however was successful, it should be said, while he was yet ignorant of the investigations by the other botanists named. He says, “From the results of these and the writer’s in¬ vestigations there is no doubt that apple scab is merely a para¬ sitic summer stage of a permanent saprophytic fungus occurring on the fallen leaves. It also appears to be this latter form that is largely (in its immature condition) responsible for carrying the fungus through the winter. At least the writer has been unable to find any satisfactory evidence that the scab stage persists on the young twigs, as has been stated by some investigators, and by means of a new crop of scab spores in the spring spreads the disease to the young fruit and leaves. Neither was there found any evidence that the old spores lived over the winter on

the fallen leaves, or that the mycelium in these gave rise to a new crop for spring infection.” Details need not be here tran¬ scribed relative to the Injury, Prevention, Time of appearance, Artificial cultures, and Microscopic structures. Under the head of Nomenclature it is pointed out that the earliest name given the scab stage (fructigenous form) was Spilocaea pomi Fries, Nov. FI. Suec. 5:79. 1819. Eleven different names were subse¬ quently used by various authors. ‘Tn 1833 Wallroth unques¬ tionably found the leaf form and named it Cladosporium dendri- ticum.” Cooke in 1866 (Seem. Jour. Bot.) described the apple- leaf Venturia as a new species, namely Sphaerella inaequalis. Mr. Clinton therefore follows Aderhold and sanctions the name Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Winter. It seems to us on the con¬ trary that the evidence is ample to justify the name Venturia pomi (Fries.). Half-tones and outline drawings, 18 pages, are used in illustrating this thorough and commendable Bulletin. Still another important portion should be mentioned, namely, the Bibliography; this covers 12 pages and includes about 170 items.
Three New Genera of tpie Higher Fungi, by Professor Atkinson, are described, each with one species only, in the July No. of the Botanical Gazette (34:36-43, 1902). Three half-tones of outline drawings illustrate these three interesting forms. Eomycenella, a new genus of Hymenomycetes, is based on speci¬ mens found on fallen leaves of Rhododendron, in September 1899. They are very small, 3-8 mm. high, pileus 0.5-0.75 mm. broad, stem slender and fleshy, very delicate, entirely white, the hyme- nium plane or in large forms with a few short, narrow, distant lamellae, not reaching the stipe. Eoterfezia, the type of a new genus and family of Elaphomycetes, is based on specimens that appeared as a parasite on Sordaria grown in the laboratory in 1897 on cow dung. There appeared on the perithecia of Sordaria white, knot-like protuberances, subglobose or kidney-shaped, nearly the entire interior of the body being occupied by minute asci scattered and intermingled with the mycelium. The Dicty- bole, a new genus of Phalloids, is based upon specimens collected m sandy soil in Texas in 1901, having a dimorphic gleba, the upper part traversed by sterile, radiating, imbricate plates, the lower part latticed something after the fashion of Simblum. The upper part of the volva remains adherent to the pileus, rupturing in a circumscissile manner, often leaving the pileus more or less irregularly lobed and pendent around the upper part of the re¬ ceptacle.
Dr. J. C. Arthur summarizes Eriksson’s paper on the Rusts of cereals, published in the first two issues of the Annales des Sciences Naturelles for 1902, in an admirable manner, in the Tuly No. of the Botanical Gazette under Notes for Students.

[Vol. 8
Reference is made to the experiments from 1892 to 1899, grow¬ ing wheat, oats and barley protected from atmospheric contagion — though rust appeared on the plants. The summary continues : “Seeds from rusted plants, it is asserted, are capable of giving rise to rusted plants, with no external source of infection ; and the author believes that the rust fungus exists in the seed in a mycoplasmic form, and may so exist as long as the seed is viable. Seeds sometimes bear sori filled with teleutospores, but it is not from these spores that the infection is derived. While it is im¬ possible to demonstrate the mycoplasm, the fungus for the time having lost definite form and become intimately associated with the protoplasm of the host, yet many observations and experiments are arrayed by the author in proof of its existence. Moreover, certain analogous states have been observed in other organisms. Among the most striking instances are Rozella and Woronina, belonging to the Chytridineae, and parasitic on Saprolegnia. Ac¬ cording to the studies of Cornu and Fischer, when these plants penetrate the host they become diffused for a time in the proto¬ plasm of the cell, and are then quite unrecognizable. Afterward they assume the usual form and produce spores. In accordance with this theory rust may be checked by treating the seed in a manner to kill the mycoplasm. A change of climate, conditions of growth, etc., may also cause the death of the mycoplasm, which will account for the fact that seed from rust-infested fields when taken to another locality or a distant country often gives plants free from that particular kind of rust.”
Apple Rots in Illinois is the title of an instructive Bulletin (No. 69 Ill. Agr. Exp. Sta., Feb. 1902) by G. P. Clinton, in which is mentioned briefly the four diseases, Brown Rot (Monilia fruc- tigena Pers.), Soft Rot (Rhizopus nigricans Ehr.), Fruit Blotch ( Phyllosticta sp.), and Black Rot (Sphaeropsis malorum Berk.) : but the main portion of the Bulletin is devoted to the Bitter Rot, whose summer stage [Gloeosporium fructigenum Berk.] and per¬ manent or winter stage [Gnomoniopsis fructigena (Berk.) Clint, n. n.] were thoroughly investigated and are here fully described and illustrated. The author states that in practically all of the cultures that were made, including the Petri dish separation cul¬ tures, there developed in time an ascomycetous fungus that proved to be the permanent stage of the Bitter Rot. This gen¬ erally appeared, more or less matured, within two weeks after the cultures were started and usually after the Gloeosporium spores had chiefly disappeared after germination. So far as is known this is the first time that the permanent stage has been found.

fusion of the American species is here cleared up. Full descrip¬ tions and many illustrations are given of the seven species, of which two are new and two others receive new names. The article concludes with a serviceable key for determining un¬ named material, based upon distinctions of host, position on the host, and the character of the uredospores, as follows :
ON SPARTINA.
Sori arising from soft tissues (intercostal.)
Uredospores wth wall thin, colored, echinulate . U. acuminatus.
Uredospores with wall thick, pale, echinulate . P. distichlidis.
Uredospores with wall thckened above, colorless, tuberculate
. P. seymouriana.
Sori arising from hard tissues (supercostal.)
Uredospores with wall thickened above, colorless, tuberculate . P. fraxinata.
ON PHRAGMITES.
Sori artiphigenous, uredosori without paraphyses,
Uredospores with four equatorial pores . P. rubella.
Sori amphigenous, uredosori with paraphyses,
Uredospores with indefinite, scattered pores . P. simillima.
ON ARUNDINARIA.
Sori hypophyllous, uredosori without paraphyses,
Uredospores with rather thick wall, echinulate . P. arundinariae.
The continuation of Rud. Litdi's Beitrage zur Kentniss der Chytridiaceae in Hedwigia (Beiblatt), March, 1902, enum¬ erates a large number of infection experiments with Synchytrium taraxaci and Synchytrium anemones. In the summary he states that Synchytrium taraxaci from Taraxacum officinale Wigg. could be transferred to T. ceratophorum DC., T. palustre DC., T. erythrospermum Andrz. (and also the vars. rubicundum Dahlst., lacistophyllum Dahlst., laetum Dahlst. and brachyglos- sum Dahlst.), T. corniculatum DC. and T. crepidiforme DC.; also that Synchytrium anemones wurde von Anemones nemorosa iibertragen auf Anemone silvestris.
The Geastrae is the title of a useful pamphlet of 44 pages concisely written, profusely illustrated and generously distrib¬ uted by C. G. Lloyd, the well known mycologist of Cincinnati. A general account of the group covers 4 pages, followed (pp. 8-38) by keys, descriptions and many half-tones of each species. An appendix of “References” — which are “to plants and not to authorities for names of plants” — occupies pp. 39-41 ; but the several paragraphs would perhaps be more convenient for con¬ sultation had they been placed immediately after the names in the text after the usual method.
The Pear Blight in California has been noticed by Newton B. Pierce (Science, N. S. 16:193. 1 Aug. 1902) in 1899 as a normal epidemic form of Spring development and has now spread to a large percentage of the leading pear-growing districts of
166

[Vol. 8
Southern California and of the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys. The Santa Clara valley and other coast regions are wholly or nearly free from its ravages. The leading characters distinguishing the Winter blight are given as follows : “First, it rarely if ever attacks a tree at points higher than a man’s head, always affecting the trunk or base of the main limbs, hence the larger and more vital portions of the tree; second, the infection takes place about the time the crop is gathered or shortly after; third, it continues in a most active and destructive state during the months of November, December and January ; and, fourth, it may prevail in an orchard showing little or no signs of the Spring form of the disease. ” The article states relative to the agency of bees : “The contrast between the number of infections in orchards near large colonies of bees and those more distant was very striking in both cases noted in the San Joaquin valley. The field conditions presented convincing evidence that near proximity of large colonies of bees to pear orchards greatly in¬ creases the danger to, and hastens the time of destruction of the latter.”
Those who would be students of the Uredinae will read with interest and profit the article by Dr. Arthur on Clues to Relationship among Heteroecious Rusts, published in the Botan¬ ical Gazette, 33 162-6, Jan. 1902. All observations affording clues, he says, must be made in the field. Stress is laid on the juxtapo¬ sition of the two kinds of spore formation, aecidial and teleut- osporic. “It will be many years before any large proportion of our numerous heteroecious rusts will be connected with their respective aecidia, and in the mean time all clues to relationship will be much prized by students, and their pursuit will give to the collector an additional source of pleasure.”
Too much importance has been ascribed to a cellulose-dis¬ solving enzyme, says Ralph E. Smith, in the summary of his article in the Botanical Gazette (33:421-36, June, 1902), on the Parasitism of Botrytis cinerea. “Two stages in the process should be clearly distinguished : First, a poisoning and killing of the cells ; and second, their disintegration and utilization as food by the cells. The first effect appears to be produced by a substance which there are strong reasons for supposing to be oxalic acid, formed by the fungus as a by-product of its metabolism. Follow¬ ing this, a number of different enzymes are secreted which digest the various constituents of the tissue.”
The Gooseberry Mildew, Sphaerotheca mors-uvae (Schw.), though claimed by E. S. Salmon to be confined to North America, has been reported as indigenous in Ireland by S. Salmon, and as indigenous in Russia by P. Hennings. Dr. P. Magnus in a recent number of the Gartenflora maintains that the latter are

cases of importation. He calls attention to the fact that Sphaer- otheca tomentosa (Otth.) Jacz. — of which Erysiphe gigantasca Sorok., reported on Euphorbia virgata from Moskow, is a synonym — is somewhat different from Sphaerotheca mors-uvae (Schw.) with which Salmon in his Monograph of the Erysi- phaceae, unites it. Magnus is therefore of the opinion that the form on Euphorbia is really a different species, saying more¬ over “bei der verschiedenen geographischen Verbeitung beider Formen zweifle ich nicht, dass sie zwei verschiedenen Arten ent- sprechen.”
Professor P. Hennings has published in Hedwigia, March, 1902, under the title, “Fungi blumenavienses II, a cl. Alfr. Moller lecti,” an article of 33 pages, containing an enumeration of the Ascomycetes from Blumenau (South Brazil) obtained in 1891-3. Some of the species had been previously reported, but are also included in this article. They are all grouped in proper systematic order under Pyrenomycetes and Discomycetes, 8 families of the former and 12 of the latter. The new genera proposed are Aschersoniopsis (Hypocreaceae), Moelleroclavus (Xylariaceae), Stilbohypoxylon (Xylariaceae), Midotiopsis (Der- mateaceae), Bulgariopsis (Bulgariaceae), and Moellerodiscus (Cudoniaceae). Seventy-two new species are described, the diag¬ noses in Latin.
OHIO FUNGI EXSICCATI.
The fifth fascicle of the Ohio Fungi is today issued. It completes a century — the fascicles averaging 20 specimens. The 100 specimens belong to the following genera : Aecidium (8 sp.), Albugo (1 sp.), Cercospora (2 sp.), Cintractia (2 sp.), Exoascus (1 sp.), Gymnoconia (1 sp.), Gymnosporangium (2 sp.), Me- lampsora (2 sp.), Microsphaera (1 sp.), Peronospora (1 sp.), Piggotia (1 sp.), Phyllachora (2 sp.), Phyllosticta (3 sp.), Plas- mopara (1 sp.), Polystictus (1 sp.), Puccinia (25 sp.), Rhytisma (1 sp.), Septoria (6 sp.), Urocystis (2 sp.), Uromyces (8 sp.), Ustilago (4 sp.), Venturia (1 sp.). Although instituted for the purpose of exchange with botanists many requests for the pur¬ chase of the specimens suggested at once the enlargement of the edition ; now all can be accommodated who may wish the fas¬ cicles as they are issued. The price fixed, intended to cover but part of the actual cost, is $5.00 for each five fascicles (100 specimens). Four or five fascicles will probably appear during the coming year, the labels as heretofore having a reprint of the original description of the species.

NOTES
The editor desires to thank the Botanists for the continued cordial reception of the renewed Journal, and especially those who have made contributions of articles ; also those from whose complimentary letters the following sentences are taken :
“A splendid resurrection, a well gotten up copy of our old friend, the Journal of Mycology; it will prove to be an excellent aid to working botanists and amateurs.”
“Long may the Journal of Mycology wave.”
“It will be of great service to workers along this line.”
“Am delighted with it ; may it be a success is my wish and hope.”
“You are certainly getting out the Journal in good shape in every way.”
“I am pleased to see that the publication is to be upon broad lines of interest.”
“Brimful of interesting mycological matter.”
“Je vous prie de me considerer comme souscripteur au Jour¬ nal of Mycology, dont je salue la re-apparition avec beaucoup de plaisir.”
“Ich freue mich, dass Sie dieses wichtige Journal wieder he- rausgeben.”
A very annoying and misleading error has just been noticed in the second line of label 68 (p. 58) where inadvertantly “Vitis sp.” was used ; it should be “Helianthus annuus L.”
The crowded condition of the pages rendered it impractical to print an installment of the Index to North American Mycology in this issue of the Journal. The citations for the year 1902 for the most part can be given in the December Number. It may be of interest to many to state that the Index for 1901 has been reprinted on one side of the page only ; price 25 cents.
MS. is in hand for a Systematic Index of the N. A. Smuts. Hosts for any of the species not reported in print are requested ; please send same to the editor of the Journal.

A NEW GENUS OF FUNGI.
A. P. MORGAN.
The following unique genus and species I have discovered in my range the present autumn. It necessitates an additional section, hyalodictyae in the Tuberculariaceae of Saccardo’s Sylloge Fungorum.
Sporocystis condita Morgan gen. & sp. nov. — Stroma large, subglobose, fleshy, white, with a mycelium of slender white filaments ; the spores a dense superficial layer. The pellucid hyphae compacted into a soft parenchymatous tissue, rich in fatty globules ; the spores borne on the more or less distinct extremities. Spores sub-globose, white, 50-70 mic. in diameter, each composed of many small spherical cells, 9-11 mic. in diameter.
Growing on old leaves in woods ; Preston, Ohio, October 1902. The stromata usually scattered, 1-2 mm. in diameter, occa¬ sionally two or three confluent. The dry spore shows best the cells of which it is composed. The stroma, mycelium and spores all abound in oil-globules as in the Entomophthoraceae ; these are best exhibited in a drop of water.

INTERESTING VARIATIONS IN THE APPENDAGES OF PODOSPHAERA OXYACANTHAE (DC.) De B.
J. G. SANDERS.
While examining some specimens of the Erysiphaceae col¬ lected in October at Newark, O., I found upon leaves of culti¬ vated cherry a Podospliaera oxyacanthae with a large proportion of the perithecia bearing compound appendages. A few of the compound appendages were perfectly developed, but in the ma¬ jority of cases one of the branches would be scarcely or not at all developed at the apex. The appendages varied in length from one to four times the diameter of the perithecia ; the branching seem¬ ingly not affecting the length, as in two cases of tri-compound ap¬ pendages, they were of maximum length with one branch three times dichotomously branched at the apex. In only two cases I found two asci in one perithecium, which precludes the idea of malformation of the perithecia as a cause of the compound ap¬ pendages.
In one slide preparation of about fifty (50) perithecia, the
following was noted :
Perithecia bearing one compound appendage . 12
Perithecia bearing two compound appendages . 7
Perithecia bearing three compound appendages . 3
Perithecia bearing four compound appendages . 1
Perithecia bearing six compound appendages . 1
Perithecia bearing one tri-compound appendage . 2
The accompanying fig¬ ure, drawn with an Abbe camera lucida, amplification no diam, shows a perithe¬ cium bearing one tri-com¬ pound and five bi-compound appendages. It, however, contained a single ascus and the normal number (8) of ascospores of normal size. The majority of the append¬ ages were branched near the perithecia, and only a few very near the apex, while many bore nodules or incipi¬ ent branches at various loca¬ tions. An examination of specimens from several other localities, resulted in finding, only rarely, a compound appendage.

NOTES ON UREDINEAE. !.
E. \V. D. HOLWAY.
Puccinia Columbiensis. — In July 1891, J. Macoun col¬ lected at Banff, Canada, a rust which he sent to J. B. Ellis as on Oenothera biennis. This was distributed to correspondents as Puccinia tuberculans E, & E., but published as Puccinia colum¬ biensis E. & E. I collected at Banff in 1901, and found a Puccinia on Troximon glaucum which proved to be Macoun’s plant, and a comparison of the specimens sent me by Mr. Ellis showed that his host plant was also' Troximon. To be certain that the type was the same thing I asked Prof. Underwood to look it up. There are two specimens in the Ellis Herbarium. “Puccinia columbiensis E. & E., I, on Oenothera biennis, Cypress Hills, Assinaboine, J. Macoun,” and “Puccinia columbiensis E. & E., Ill, on Oeno¬ thera biennis, Banff, J. Macoun.” Mr. Rydberg kindly examined the hosts and considers the first Solidago mollis, and the second Troximon glaucum, or Troximon parviflorum.
Puccinia Suffusca. — In the “Catalogue des plantes que la societe botanique de Copenhague peut distribuer au printemps 1881,” a rust was offered under the name of Puccinia Pulsatillae Rostr., but without desription. Specimens have since been is¬ sued under this name in Sydow, Uredineen, No. 1529, and in Yestergren, Micromycetes rariores selecti, No. 316, both collected in Bohemia on Pulsatilla pratensis. Vestergren, in Bot. Notiser, 1902 : 269, quotes from a letter written by the collector, Fr. Bubak, as follows : “Durch grossere grobwarzigere Sporen, deren Zellen nicht kuglig, sondern elliptisch bis langlich sind (besonders die Bazalzelle), ebenso durch spatere Entwicklungs- zeit von Puccinia fusca (Relh.) Wint. verschieden.”
This seems to be a good species, but the name has been used by Kalchbrenner, 1865, Math. s. termiszett. Ivozlemenyek 3:307, for a different Puccinia. This necessitates a new name for the plant and Puccinia suffusca is offered for it. Puccinia fusca seems to occur in the United States on Anemone nemorosa only. I have examined P. suffusca on Pulsatilla hirsutissima, Decorah, la. Hol- way; Ute Pass, Col. Trelease; Helena, Mont., Kelsey. On Ane¬ mone parviflora, Col. Crandall; Anemone multifida, Helena, Mont., Kelsey. In addition to the characters noted by Bubak, the species has numerous one-celled spores, which are quite variable in form and size, and the spores are also darker in color. In all the specimens examined there is a very distinct difference in the markings of the epispore. Under a high power the tubercles of P. fusca appear like dots, quite uniform in size and evenly dis¬ tributed over the surface. Those of P. suffusca are longer, irregular, and often united.
In this connection it may be of interest to republish Mr.
172 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 8
Relhan’s first notice of Puccinia fusca. It is in the Gentleman’s Magazine, 1793 : 414.
“King's Coll. Cam., May 15.
Mr. Urban :
The conjurer of Chalgrave’s Fern having excited the curiosity of the public, I shall be glad through your means to inform your botanical dorrespondents that I have found the plant this spring, in great abun¬ dance, in Madingley Wood, near Cambridge. It appears to me, from repeated examinations, in all its different stages, to be Aecidium Fuscum. Lin. Syst. Nat. Gmelin, p. 1473. It is parasitical on the leaves and some¬ times, though rarely, on the petals of Anemone Nemorosa. I shall, in a few days, publish a description of it in a third supplement to my “Flora Cantabrigiensis,” and intend, in a short time, in a separate publication, to give a full history of the plant, illustrated by colored plates. In the meantime, I shall be happy, upon application being made to me by letter, to send twenty specimens of the plant, if so many of your correspondents inform me that they will be acceptable ; having ever esteemed the giving away of a curious plant the second pleasure to the original discovery.
Yours, &c. ,
R. Relhan.”
The description was published in 1793. Flora Cantab. 3rd. Supp. : 36. not as a new species, but as Aecidium fuscum 1791. Lin. Syst. Nat. 1473. where it is given as Aecidium fuscum Pers. Mr. Relhan does not appear to' have carried out his intention as to the separate publication, but he did contribute the specimens for the colored plate in Sowerby, English Fungi, 1797, pi. 53. This plate shows a leaf with Puccinia fusca, and a plant and leaf with aecidium. The Puccinia is without doubt the same as Persoon’s 1791 Aecidium fuscum, otherwise he would have men¬ tioned it in his review of Lycoperdon Anemones Poult. He says : (1796. Neue Ann. d. Bot. Stuck 13:43.) “Uebrigens habe ich diese Art schon vor der Erscheinung der Transactions dem Herrn Hof rath Gmelin zu der neuen Ausgabe des Linneischen Natur- systems unter dem Namen : Aecidium Anemones, mitgetheilt. Das von Hrn. Relhan (Sup. FI. cantabrig.) hierhin gerechnete Aecidium fuscum , ist eine ganz andere Art, und vermuthlich eine uredo.”
If this view is correct, Persoon should have the credit of it and the name should be Puccinia fusca (Pers.) especially as Relhan did not, evidently, separate the aecidium and puccinia, and Persoon did.
Dr. Winter considered Aecidium Anemones Pers. (Aecidium leucospermum DC.) to be a state of Puccinia fusca. This is prob¬ ably erroneous. H. T. Soppit made some cultures which led him to the conclusion that this aecidium was an Endophyllum. His experiments, as reported, (1893. Jour, of Bot. : 273) are not con¬ clusive, and need repeating.

OHIO STATIONS FOR MYRIOSTOMA.
JOHN H. SCHAFFNER.
Myriostoma coliformis is regarded as quite a rare species for America. So far as the writer is informed, it has been reported from only four states, widely separated ; in Colorado, Florida, Ontario, and South Dakota. The past summer, while on a col¬ lecting trip with Professors E. L. Moseley and W. E. Wells, on Cedar Point, Erie Co., Ohio, the writer discovered a large patch of this interesting fungus growing in the rich leaf mold on the bay side of the Point. Most of the specimens were in excellent condition. Later the writer collected the plant at several other places on Cedar Point. Miss L. C. Riddle found it on Green Island, Ottawa Co., where a considerable number of fine speci¬ mens were collected by the writer in a short time.
The plants grow in open places under trees and shrubs where there is an abundance of moist leaf mold. It is probably quite common in this region wherever the environment is suitable. The plants found matured the latter part of July and the early part of August and this is probably the best time to look for them.

Sphaeropsis persicae E. & B. — On dead limbs of Amyg- dalus persica. Rooks Co., Kans. Oct. 2, 1901. See Fungi Co- lumbiani No. 1590.
Perithecia thickly scattered, globose-depressed, J-J mm. diam., jet black throughout, deep seated in the inner bark but not penetrating to the wood. Epidermis raised into prominent pus¬ tules which are soon ruptured, exposing the ostiola and upper part of the perithecia. Sporules dark brown, elliptical, 8-12 x 18-24 often profusely discharged, blackening the surface of the host.

THE DISCOMYCETES OF THE MIAMI VALLEY, OHIO.
BY A. P. MORGAN.
The collections of several years enable me at this present time to increase very considerably the list of the species of Dis- comycetes growing in this region, since the publication of Lea’s Catalogue in 1849. Many specimens have been sent to Chas. H. Peck, the State Botanist of New York, and many also to Mr. J. B. Ellis of New Jersey. Upwards of sixty numbers were sent to George Massee of the Royal Herbarium, Kew, England ; these were chiefly small Pezizeae not figured in Cooke’s Mycographia. Among these Mr. Massee detected several new species which he described and figured. I have also^ profited much by the papers published recently by Mr. Massee, in the Journal of the Linnaean Society and entitled “Redescriptions of Berkeley’s Types of Fungi.”
The classification of the Discomycetes is as yet tentative ; no two writers divide the order similarly into families and genera. Hence in making up only a catalogue, I have been obliged to survey critically the nomenclature. In doing so I have indicated my notion in regard to genera and species ; in many places I have suggested the correct writing of the specific names, on the ac¬ cepted principle of priority ; and I have also been able to describe the spores and give the spore measurements of some of de Schweinitz’s little known species.

Lichen atratus Hedwig, Muse, frond. 1787.
“Typus generis est P. atrata,” Fries, S. O. V. 114. The name Patellaria was once used extensively for a genus of Lich¬ ens. This species is to be distinguished from P. clavispora by the thicker asci and larger spores. Asci 100-130x17-19 mic. Spores 7-10 septate, 36-46x8-10 mic. The asci vary in the number of their spores.
13. Patellaria clavispora B. & Br., Am. Nat. Hist. 1854. Durella clavispora Saccardo, Sylloge VIII. 1889.
This species is commonly confused with P. atrata. Asci 90-1 10 x 11-13 mic. Spores 5-8 septate, 28-35x6-8 mic.
14. Patellaria tetraspora Massee & Morgan n. sp. — Asco- phore applanate, usually elliptical, margin very slightly upraised, and more or less distinctly vertically striate, entirely black, 0.5-1 mm. long; asci cylindrical, rather abruptly narrowed into a slender pedicel, apex rounded and slightly thickened, not blue
, with iodine, 140-160x12-14 mic., four spored ; spores hyaline, smooth, narrowly clavate, apex blunt, base rather acute, 7-9 sep¬ tate at maturity ifseriate, 40-50 x xio-ii mic. ; paraphyses numer¬ ous, slender tips thickened, deep blackish blue, agglutinated to¬ gether.

This species is also referable to Pseudotryblidium Rehm, if it is desirable to multiply genera, but Saccardo’s P^tellaria is not tenable.

This is truly a Peziza; there is little to the ascoma besides the asci and paraphyses. It grows on old hyphae of Helmintho- sporium.
43. Stamnaria Americana Massee & Morgan n. sp. —
Erumpent, gregarious or crowded in clusters of three or four, sessile or with a very short stem-like base, about \ mm. across and high, thin, translucent, margin scarious, uneven, entirely pale amber when dry, concave; asci clavate, apex rounded, not blue with iodine, 8-spored, 170x15-16 mic. ; spores irregularly 2- seriate, hyaline, smooth, continuous narrowly elliptic-fusiform, often slightly inaequilateral, 2-guttulate, 26-29 x 7-8 mic. ; para¬ physes slender, tips slightly clavate, often branched ; excipulum and cortex formed of very slender septate hyphae running from base to margin.

The genus Chlorosplenium was established by Fries for the reception of Peziza chlora, P. chlorascens and P. torta of Schwein¬ itz under the mistaken notion that “the disk is rendered green- pulverulent by the bursting of the asci and pouring out of the spores.” In the same connexion Peziza aeruginosa and P. versi¬ formis were placed in Helotium.
It is doubtful whether Peziza chlora, P. chlorascens, P. torta belong in Chlorosplenium as now understood. The generic type at present is rather Chlorosplenium aeruginosum, which colors the wood on which it grows a deep verdigris-green.

slightly thickened at the apex.
On dead twigs of Vitis riparia, Preston, O. The present species is not a typical Humaria, neither can it be considered as agreeing well with any established genus. The excipulum con¬ sists entirely of irregularly nodulose cells which are scarcely coloured by iodine but appear refractive as if very thick-walled, and with scarcely any cell contents. Perfectly globose at first, the hvmenium gradually developing as in Bulgaria. Substance firm, but not at all cartilaginous or gelatinous.

101. Peziza numularia Morgan.
Psilopezia numularia Berkeley, Lond. Journ. 1847. Lea's Catalogue. 1849. Massee, Berkeley’s Types. 1896.
Although the type of this species was sent from Cincinnati by Mr. Lea, I do not appear to have collected it, my specimen examined by Mr. Massee being pronounced Peziza adnata B & C. Aside from the spores, there should be no confounding the two species ; The ascophore of one is parenchymatous and of the other wholly prosenchymatous.
102. Peziza nana Massee & Morgan n. sp. — Gregarious sessile, thin, concave, entirely pale brown when dry, up to 6 mm. across, scurfy-pulverulent externally ; asci cylindrical, apex rounded, deep blue with iodine, 8-spored, 350 x 12 mic.; spores broadly elliptical, ends obtuse, hyaline, continuous, epispore densely covered with minute warts, 18 x 10 mic. i-seriate; para- physes slender, very slightly thickened at the apex ; hypothecium and excipulum formed of very slender, interwoven hyphae, passing into a cortex of small parenchymatous cells.

The specific name originates with Linnaeus, but the applica¬ tion of it has been various. Recent writers accept the interpre¬ tation of Dr. Cooke in Mycographia ; in this the spores are smooth.
A very large Peziza grows in this region in early spring, agreeing in form, size, and color with this species, but the spores are minutely roughened. I have called it Peziza badia, Pers. (Helvella cochleata, Bolton) ; but this plant is said to grow in summer and autumn. It may be the plant called Peziza umbrina by Boudier, but the figure in Mycographia does not look like our plant.

Annales Mycologici Editi in notitiam Scientiae Myco- logicae Universalis. Early in January 1903, the first number of a new periodical headed as above will appear, which proposes dealing thoroughly with the cultivation and furtherance of Myco¬ logical Science. So states a circular notice just received from H. Sydow, Berlin, W., Goltz str. 6., Germany. The periodical will be issued every other month ; the size about 640 pp. per year ; the price 25 Marks. At present only one North American and two French Mycological periodicals are published. We welcome the appearance of the fourth journal devoted to this widening field of botanical science. Annales Mycologici will contain in the main original “mycological articles of the first class,” list of latest literature, critical reviews, etc.
A plea by Professor Underwood for the concentra¬ tion of the energy of Mycological Clubs and of isolated indi¬ viduals on a limited number of genera, say Boletus, Boletinus, Coprinus, Lactarius, Russula, Hygrophorus, Lentinus, and Mar- asmius, was made in the January No. of Torreya, pp. 1-2 (1902), which it is to be hoped was numerously heeded during the year, and that abundant success may induce a continuation in the same line the next season.
No end to the new Higher Fungi — Prof. Peck, the veteran American Agaricologist, describing fourteeen new species in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club, 29:69-74, Feb.,

In no group of plants is careful study in the field so necessary as with Mushroons, says F. S. Earle, in Torreya (2:2-4. Jan. 1902) ; and besides valuable suggestions for the beginner and amateur Prof. Earle gives a commendable description blank.
Bacterium truttae, a new species pathogenic to Trout, is described by M. C. Marsh in Science, 16:706-7, 31 Oct., 1902. The organism was obtained from diseased brook trout and stands in specific causal relation to the disease ; found only in domesti¬ cated or aquarium fish, never in wild trout from the natural waters. It is not pathogenic to warm-blooded animals.

Cyathia replaces the generic name Cyathus ; a key to the eleven North American species is given ; one species and one variety are new. Crucibulum vulgare Tol. (1844) the only species of this genus is to be called C. crucibuliforme (Scop.) White. Nidula, a new Genus is proposed ; under it two species and one variety are given ; the variety and one species are new. Granularia (Roth, 1791) replaces the generic name Nidularia (Fr. and Nord., 1817-18) ; a key to the three species is given; two of the species are new. A table showing the known distri¬ bution of the species is included.
As animal mycoph agists W. A. Murrill lists (Torreya, 2:25-6. Feb. 1902) a large sphingid larva (Virginia) — feeding on Polyporus flavovirens ; red, or “pine,” squirrel of Alaska in the region west of the Yukon River — living on [seeds of Picea alba and] mushrooms (three kinds of Agarics noticed) which they place in forks of branches, etc., visiting their collections every day in the winter for a meal.
Quite extended “Supplementary Notes on the Ery- siphaceae,” by Ernest S. Salmon, are published in the Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 29:1-22, 83-109, Jan. and Feb. 1902. A considerable amount of further material has enabled the author “to continue the study of critical forms of several species ; to investigate many cases of the reported occurrence of a species on an unusual host plant ; and to extend the geographical range and add further hosts for many species. Several recent important papers are also critically reviewed, followed by a bibliography of 89 refer¬ ences, a host index, and a species index.
The Ohio Fungi exsiccati, the labels to the specimens of which contain a reprint of the original descriptions besides the customary data, is being issued by W. A. Kellerman, Ohio State University. Five fascicles, average of 20 specimens each, have been distributed, according to statement in Journal of Mycol¬ ogy, 8:167. Oct. 1902.

A three- page summary precedes the extended article, under the subheads : Occurrence and character of the disease ; Pathogenesis ; Morpho¬ logical characters ; and Physiological characters. A preliminary report and the publication of Bacillus carotovorus Jones n. sp. was printed in the Centralblatt fur Bakteriologie, Parasitenkunde u.

A Preliminary List of Maine Fungi, by Percy LeRoy Ricker (pp. 1-87, April, 1902), contains 1136 species. The ar¬ rangement of the orders and families is that of Saccardo’s Syl- loge, the genera and species arranged alphabetically. It is pre¬ faced with a historical sketch, list of works treating of the Maine species, general characters and classification of Fungi ; and sup¬ plemented with an index to genera and an index to hosts.
Eriksson's Work on the Timothy Rust. — An interesting article by Jakob Eriksson (Oefversigt af Kongl. Vetenskaps- Akademiens Forhandlingar 1902. N :o. 5) having the title, “1st der Timotheengrasrost eine selbstandige Rostart oder nicht,” re¬ calls his infection experiments in 1891-3 as a result of which the species Puccinia phlei-pratensis Er. & Hen. was established O894), and details numerous additional experiments made in 1895-1000. This species has almost completely lost its power to infect Barberry. It is found occasionally (in experimentation) on Festuca elatior, Oats, Rye, and Phleum michelii. Eriksson includes it in the category of Rust species “nicht scharf fixiert,” of which he has listed also the following: “Puccinia graminis 1". sp. Tritici auf Triticum vulgare (Hordeum vulgare, Secale
196 Journal of Mycology [Vol. 8
cereale und Avena sativa) ; P. triticina auf Triticum vulgare (und Secale cereale) ; P. bromina auf Bromus mollis, B. arvensis etc. (und Secale cereale) ; und P. agropyrina auf Triticum repens (Secale cereale und Bromus arvensis). Zu derselben Kategorie ware auch in Folge des oben mitgeteilten P. Phlei- pratensis auf Phleum pratense, Festuca elatior (Phleum michelii, Avena sativa und Secale cereale) zu rechnen.” Referring again to the peculiarities of this species the following conclusion is recorded, namely, that perhaps “P. phlei — pratensis urspriing- lich aus P. graminis entstanden sei, und dass sie sich allmahlich auf dem seit langer Zeit im Grossen gebauten gewohnlichen Timotheengrase zu einer selbstandigen Art differenziert habe, selbstandig insofern, dass sie die urspriingliche aecidienerzeu- gende Fahigkeit verloren, die innere Natur jedoch so beibehalten habe, dass sie, wenn auch schwierig, auf den Hafer und Roggen zurukgehen kann. Weniger vorgeschritten aber denke man sich die Differenzierung an den seltenen, nur zufallig in den botan- ischen Garten kultivierten Phleum-Arten, welche durch daneben angebauten Getreide direkt angesteckt worden sind.

Binucleate cells in certain Hymenomycetes is the title of an important article in the January No. of the Botanical Ga¬ zette (33 '.1-25, pi. 1, January, 1902), by Robert A. Harper, which from its length can not be here properly summarized. Two sen¬ tences however may be quoted. “It must not be assumed without further evidence that the Rusts are primitive Basidiomycetes.” . . “The binucleate condition of the hyphal cells suggests very strongly that Rusts and Basidiomycetes must have arisen from some ancestral type characterized, at least in some stage of its development, by the possession of binucleate instead of uninuc- leated or multinucleated vegetative cells.”
A very interesting and important preliminary report of work done during the last two years by John L. Sheldon, at the University of Nebraska, in co-operation with the U. S. Dept, of Agr., on the Rusts of Asparagus and Carnation — and inci¬ dentally on Darluca — is given in Science, N. S. 16:235-7. 8
Aug. 1902. The account pertains to inoculation experiments. The period of incubation in the greenhouse varied from 18 to 8 days. “When the mean daily temperature in the greenhouse was 69° and the average hours of sunshine were five, it required fourteen days for the sori to appear after an inoculation was made ; and when the temperature increased to 76° and the num¬ ber of hours of sunshine increased to 6.3, only eight days were required ; the period of incubation being in each case inversely as the temperature and the hours of sunshine.” Only vigorous

plants were found to be readily susceptible to inoculation. Mr. Sheldon also demonstrated that the Carnation Rust is local in¬ stead of being distributed throughout the plant, and that cer¬ tain varieties are practically immune. It is interesting also to- note that observations have led to the opinion that Darluca filum Cast, is not parasitic on the Rust, its saprophytic tendencies hav¬ ing been demonstrated by growing it on various culture media.. “There are strong indications that it may be parasitic on As¬ paragus.”
European Fungus Flora, Agaricaceae, George Massee,. F. F. S., is the title of a recent important book of 274 pp., pub¬ lished by Duckworth & Co., London. For each of the five pri¬ mary divisions of the group (based on the color of the spores as seen in mass), a concise synoptical key to the genera is given, followed by descriptions of 2750 European species (of which 1 553 are British). “The idea of this work is to give the essential characters of each species as presented by pileus, gills, stem and spores respectively.” No figures are given. The author thinks that “a lengthy and laboured description suggests lack of power to grip essentials on the part of the compiler, and does not as a rule facilitate the recognition of the species intended.” An il¬ lustration or two will show the character of this treatise. For exajmple, p. 7, under the genus Lepiota is given this description : —
“Procera, Scop. P. soon expanded, umbonate, with brownish scales, 10-25 cm.; g. free, crowded; s. 12-20 cm., base thickened, brown¬ ish, transversely cracked, ring free; sp. 12-15x8-9. Edible.”
On p. 205, under the genus Agaricus occurs the following paragraph : —
Campestris, L. 6-12 cm. convex then plane, floccosely silky or fibrillose, whitish, flesh reddish-brown when cut; g. close to stem, subli- quescent, fleshy then umber; s. stuffed, even, white, ring median, torn; sp. 7-8x5-6. Edible.
Var. alba, Berk. P. rather silky white; s. short.
Var. hortensis, Cke. P. fibrillose or squamulose, brownish. The variety commonly cultivated in England. [Eleven other vars. given under this speces.]
A New Mushroom for the Market is reported by H. Webster in Rhodora, 4:199, October, 1902. The plant referred to is Lepiota naucina — and this with several species as Agaricus campestris, Coprinus atramentarius, Coprinus comatus, Tricho- loma personatum, have found a ready sale in the Boston market.
Prof. Dr. P. Magnus gives in the Berichte der Deutschen Botanischen Gesellschaft (20:291-296, 1 pi. 1902) an account of a species of a root-inhabiting, gall-producing Urophlyctis which is the cause of a destructive disease of Medicago sativa, or Lu¬ cerne. F[e refers to his previous assertion, dass die Gattung Uro¬ phlyctis Schroet. eine gute Gattung ist and scharf von den Gat- tungen Physoderma und Cladochytrium zu trennen ist. He also

shows that the species in question is different from Urophlyctis coproides (Trab.) P. Magn., on Beta vulgaris, and Urophylctis pulposa (Wall.) Schroet., on Chenopodium and Atriplex; the name proposed is Urophlyctis alfalfae (v. Lagerheim olim) P. Magnus. The galls are rounded protuberances ; when sectioned large brown irregular figures may be seen; these correspond to cavities filled with the resting spores.
The Bitter Rot of Apples is the title of Bulletin No. 77 (Ill. Agr. Exp. Sta.), July 1902, by Thomas J. Burrill and Joseph C. Blair. The authors say it is essentially a hot weather disease. The second spore-forms were not found in exposed apples but the fungus ordinarily retains its vitality in a dormant state in the winter, and in May or later, continues its growth. It was also found that spores from the cankers on the limbs could be used successfully in inoculation experiments. This seems to be the first verified case to show that there is a connection between cankered places on the limbs and the disease on the fruit. [To the reviewer it would seem desirable that the scientific names of the fungi or forms discussed in a Bulletin should be given in parentheses or as foot notes.]
Hermann von Schrenk and Perley Spaulding give a brief preliminary account (Science, N. S. 16:669-670, Oct. 31, 1902) of observations and experiments showing “a causal rela¬ tion between apple cankers found in numerous orchards and the bitter rot disease, and that it is very probable that this fungus is capable of living both in the bark and in the fruit of the apple/’ In cultures made from the cankers Gloeosporium fructigenum appeared; the spores inoculated into living apple branches gave rise to apple cankers with pycnidia and spores of Gloeosporium fructigenum, and these spores inoculated into apple produced the bitter rot disease. To the reviewer this would seem a confirma¬ tion of results obtained by Burrill & Blair.
Howard J. Banker gives A historical Review of the pro¬ posed genera of the Hydnaceae, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 29: 436- 448, July 1902; he proposes Tylodon based on T. friesii (Radu- lum pendulum Fr. El. Fung. 149) and Etheirodon based on E. fimbriatum (Odontia fimbriata Fr) as generic names to replace respectively Radulum and Odontia. In the summary 71 generic names are enumerated ; of these 32 are free to be used.
An extended article on the toxic properties of some copper compounds, by Judson F. Clark, is published in the Jan. No. of the Botaincal Gazette (33: 26-48 1902). Several hundred cultures with fifteen species of Fungi were made and fully de¬ scribed. He says that all experiments go to show that the Bor¬ deaux Mixture is effective from the day it is applied. As to its toxicology: “The solution of that part of the Cu (OH) 2 of

Bordeaux Mixture which under orchard conditions is of fungi¬ cidal value, is chiefly accomplished by the solvent action of the fungous spores themselves, for they have power to dissolve suf¬ ficient copper to kill themselves. ”
In the Botaniska Notiser for 1902 (pp. 113-128 & 161-179) Tycho Vestergren gives a “Verzeichniss nebst Diagno- sen und Kritischen Bemerkungen zu meinem Exsiccatenwerke, Micromycetes rariores selecti,” Fasc. 11-17. A dozen new species are described.
The article by David Griffiths, concerning some West American Fungi, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 29: 290-301, May 1902, deals with seventeen parasitic fungi belonging to the genera Tilletia, Ustilago, Sorosporium, Gymnoconia, Puccinia, Aecid- ium, and Claviceps ( ?) ; twelve of the species are described and named as new to science.
In Science, (N. S. 16: 434-5) Sept. 12, 1902, P. J. O’Gara gives some Notes on Canker and Black-Rot,, the former on Rhus glabra caused by Sphaeropsis rhoina (Schw.) Starb. In- completed experiments are reported to determine whether Sphae¬ ropsis rhoina of the Sumac and Sphaeropsis of the apple may not be the same. The facts already established “go to show that Sphaeropsis rhoina will cause black-rot in the fruit of the apple and will also produce the typical ‘canker’ on the branches and limbs just as readily as Sphaeropsis malorum. Although the evidence is not complete it is probable that the two species are identical.”
An Abstract of a paper by Dr. V. C. Vaughan on the Nature O'f the specific Bacterial Toxins is given in Science, N. S. 16: 312-5, Aug. 22, 1902.
A list of Bar Harbor (Mt. Desert) Fungi, about 255 in number is given by V. S. White, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 29:550- 563, Sept. 1902. Most of the interesting list are the higher fungi — eight of which are new species, six by Peck and two by Banker. The starred species, 120 in number, are not found in Ricker’s List of Maine Fungi (April 1902).
The prevention of Molds on Cigars, by Rodney H. True, is a short article in Science, N. S. 16: 115-6, July 18, 1902, in which it is shown that this affection pertains only to cigars whose wrapper-leaf has been treated with tragacanth paste, and is pre¬ ventable by making the latter with a saturated solution of boracic acid instead of water.
Investigations on a Bacterial Soft-Rot of certain Cruci¬ ferous Plants and Amorphophallus simlense by H. A. Harding and F. C. Stewart are reported in Science, N. S. 16: 314-5, Aug. 22, 1902.

Edgar W. Olive has published in the Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 30:415-513, pi. 5-8, August, 1902, a monograph of the Acrasieae — a small group of saprophytic organisms which have been associated with the Myxomycetes. There are seven genera and twenty species, twelve of which occur in the United States.
The Studies in North American Discomycetes by Elias J. Durand are continued with valuable results ; the first paper was on the genus Holwaya (Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 28:349-355, June, 1901), the second on some new or noteworthy species from cen¬ tral and western New York (L. c. 29:458-165, July, 1902). Three new species are described in the last paper.
A LIST OF FOURTEEN OF THE MORE IMPORTANT MOULDS in¬ jurious to foods is given by Mary Dresbach in the June number of the Ohio Naturalist (2:288-9), 1902. The orders represented are Bacteriales, Mucorales, Saccharomycetalis, Aspergillales and Moniliales.
The 22nd Annual Report of the New Jersey Experi¬ ment Station for 1901 (issued in 1902) contains an extended account of the work by the botanist, B. D. Halsted. The myco- logical topics briefly touched on are the Asparagus Rust, Exper¬ iments with Pear Blight, Ergot upon Grass, Notes on Corn Smut, the Blight of Cumumbers, the Mildew of the Grape, Tulip Mould, and Fungi as related to weather.
In the note on Boletus betula (182, Lloyd’s Myc. Notes,
10:97, September, 1902) H. C. Beardslee says that three species
of shaggy-striped Boleti have been described by American
Mycologists — B. betula by Schweinitz, B. russelli by Frost, but
these seem to be one and the same thing; and he adds that Mr.
Lloyd regards B. morgani as a state of B. betula — hence this
would reduce these three species to one and unite them “under
the oldest and best name,” viz., B. betula.

Torrendia, a new genus of Hymenogastraceae, and twelve new species of the higher fungi are described by I. Bres- adola (Mycetes Lusitanici Novi), Atti I. R. Acad. Agiati, II, 8 1129-133. 1 pi. 1902.
A bulletin of 43 pages, 3 plates, author Margaret C. Fer¬ guson, containing a preliminary Study of the Germinatoin of Agarious compestris and other Basidiomycetous Fungi, was is¬ sued June 14, 1902, by the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Dept. Agr. Besides the record and explanation of the tests, there is given also a Historical Review of the literature, 1842 to 1901, (6 pages) and a Bibliography (2 pages).
Hermann von Schrenk is the author of Bulletin No. 14, Bureau of Plant Industry, issued March 25, 1902, entitled the Decay of Timber and Methods of preventing it. It contains 96 pages, 18 plates and numerous text figures. The scope of the Report is as follows: (1) Structure of Timber and its mechan¬ ical and chemical nature; (2) Factors which cause decay of wood; (3) Timber preservation; (4) Account of an experiment to test the value of preservative processes; (5) Report of an inspection trip to Europe for the purpose of investigating the results of tim¬ ber impregnation; (6) Conclusions and recommendations.
The Office of ti-ie Pathologist and Physiologist, Bureau of Plant Industry, offers to the State Agricultural Exper¬ iment Stations and other interested workers such specimens of fungi as they may select from a list which has been prepared by Flora W. Patterson, Mycologist, and sent out February 3, 1902 (Bulletin No. 8). The general arrangement and the nomen¬ clature correspond mainly with Saccardo’s Sylloge Fungorum. The list contains 543 species, often several hosts being given.
Generic Nomenclature is discussed by C. L. Shear in the March number of the Botanical Gazette (33:220-9, 1902), the remarks relating especially to Fungi. His apology if any were needed is as follows: “but there is no student of plant life in any of its multitudinous phases but must have occasion at some time to use plant names, and hence should be interested to some degree, at least, in any sincere effort to secure stability and uniformity in nomenclature/' Mr. Shear points out the fatal difficulties of the “species majority method,” and the “residue method.” The type method is urged as desirable and practicable.
Professor Underwood gives a general account of the Bracket Fungi in the June No. of Torreya (2:87-90, 1902), men¬ tioning about two dozen species and incidentally remarking that a certain species “has passed as Polyporus lucidus, which is a wholly different species,” and that P. leucophaeus “has mas¬ queraded in this country under an incorrect name as P. applanatus.”

Abigail A. O’Brien confirms Dr. Duggar’s assertion that in case of some fungi the mycelium may be as resistant to moist heat as are the spores, by a series of experiments with Aspergillus flavus, Botrytis vulgaris, Rhizopus nigricans, Sterigmatocystis nigra and Pencillium, reported in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club (29:170-2), March 1902) under the title: Notes on the Comparative Resistance to High Temperature of the Spores and Mycelium of Certain Fungi.
Elsie M. Kupfer reports a critical study of Urnula and Geopyxis in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club, 29:137- 144. 1 pi. March 1902. The conclusion of the whole matter
is : Urnula craterium Fr. represents a distinct genus from Geopyxis; Urnula terrestris (Niessl) Sacc. is not allied to U. craterium and is to be called Podophacidium xanthomelan ; Urnula geaster Peck forms a new genus, Chorioactis, and is designated as C. geaster (Peck) Kupfer.
The apothecia representing the ascigerous stage of Sclerotinia fructigena (Pers.) Schroet. (of which Monilia fruct- igena Pers. is the conidial form) were unknown till discovered on April 10th this year by J. B. S. Norton, who has given a note in Science (N. S. 16:34 4 July 1902) relative to the same, and an extended account of the observations and cultures with illus¬ trations in Trans. Acad. Sci. St. Louis, 12:91-7. 4 pi. 25 Aug.

The keys to the North American species of various genera of Fungi, on the dichotomal plan, which F. S. Earle is publishing in Torreya (1902) are to be highly commended to beginners in the study of those groups. The following have been issued : Lactarius, Hypholoma, Coprinus, Bolbitius, Gom- phidium, Nyctalis, Limacium, Hygrophorus, Russula.
The occurrence of the larger form of Boletus felleus on stumps , at Alstead, N. H. is noted by H. Webster, Rhodora, 4:187-8, Sept. 1902.
F. S. Earle gives a note in Torreya (2:159-160, Oct. 1902) concerning a “much-named fungus,” pointing out that Cooke and Ellis’s Fusicladium fasciculatum published in Grevillea in 1878 (6:88) had been renamed Scolecotrichum euphorbiae by Tracy and Earle, Piricularia euphorbiae by Atkinson, Cercosporidium euphorbiae by Earle, Scolecotrichum fasciculatum by Shear ; and now it is Passalora fasciculata in the judgement of the same. Prof. Earle also transfers his Cercosporidium helleri to Passalora.

scription of this interesting species, Rhodora, 4: 3-5, January 1902. In the same number (pp. 5-7) Hollis Webster also com¬ ments on the same and adds some notes as to Volvaria bomby- cina, “as beautiful and striking agaric as the woods produce,” and V. speciosa, grayish and viscid, said to be edible, reported poisonous by Bresadola.
Dr. L. O. Howard reports in the Yearbook of the U. S. Department of Agriculture for 1901 (pp. 459-470) some experi¬ mental work with Fungous Diseases of Grasshoppers, but he says it is “nothing more than a report of progress” and that “the results obtained so far do not justify very sanguine hopes.” The fungi more or less successfully used were : a species of Mucor (work in South Africa), perhaps also Empusa grylli, and Sporo- trichum globuliferum (S. A. and U. S.).
Albert Schneider reports (Botanical Gazette, 34:109-113, July 1902) success in obtaining Rhizobium mutabile in artificial culture media, and illustrates the forms seen on a full-page plate. Tubercles were used from young seed-grown plants of Melilotus alba. The organism develops slowly, is essentially aerobic, de¬ void of all active motion, undergoes great change in form and size, apparently does not develop true spores.
Clathrus columnatus, a tropical species of Phalloid, was found in November last by Mr. F. Silsbee at Lawrence, Massachusetts, as reported by H. Webster in Rhodora, 4:134-5, June 1902.
Monographia Uredinearum by P. & H. Sydow, Vol. I, Fasc. I, has just been issued from the Leipzig firm of Fratres Borntrager. The work contemplated by these uredinists, and of which the first Fasciculus is a part, shall “in erster Linie der Sys¬ tematic dienen, also vor allem das Auffinden und Bestimmen einer Art so viel als moglich erleichten soil ;” accordingly the division into subgenera or sections (Eupuccinia. Heteropuccinia, etc.) have not been regarded, but all of the species are arranged according to the host plants. The 192 pages issued includes the Puccinia on Compositae, the genera of hosts arranged in alphabetical order. The descriptions are Latin, the additional notes in German. Many figures drawn by the authors, illustrate the rarer species. They are outline figures, not shaded or colored, and all drawn to the same amplification, namely, about 480. Fast samtliche Diagnosen sind nach Untersuchung von original-exemplaren entworfen. As to the synonomy, the authors say: Auf die oft so verworrene Synonymik haben wir das grosste Gewicht gelegt and dieselbe so ausfuhrlich wie nur moglich gegeben. It is expected that 3 volumes will complete the work, and all the parts issued in the course of three or four years. The first volume is to contain only the genus Puccinia.

(Continued from page 103.)
W. A. KELLERMAN.
Previous installments of this Index (mainly for the litera¬ ture of 1901) were given in the May and June Nos., current year. That given below is for the most part an index to the literature for 1902. It will be continued in the next number of the Journal.
A separate — printed on one side of the page only — of the previous installments combined^ was issued under the heading “First Reprint/' In a similar manner the present installment will be issued as the “Second Reprint." The price for each Re¬ print is fixed at 25 cts. These will be sent as issued to those who request their names to be placed on a permanent mailing list for the same.
It has seemed desirable to extend the scope of the Index to include the North American literature of Lichenology. Synonyms — at least the more important ones — will also be listed.
Botanists and Librarians will be able soon to' determine the utility of this Index — especially if they clip the items from the Reprints and paste them on regular library cards — only a trifling amount of labor and time being required for this purpose. If orders are numerous not only will the mycological literature of the present be promptly listed, but an effort will eventually be made to include as well all that pertains to the time previous to Jan. 1st, 1901.

Journal of Mycology
A Periodical Devoted to North American Mycology. Issued in February , May , October and December. Price , $1.00 per Year. To Foreign Subscribers $1.10. Edited and Published by
tV. A. Kellerman , Ph. D ., Columbus, Ohio.
NOTES.
The very cordial reception of the Journal of Mycology, re¬ vived after a long suspension, has been exceedingly gratifying to the editor. The kindly support by contributors and subscribers to Volume 8 is gratefully acknowledged. I must say to inquiring friends too, that “it does pay ” and I am well satisfied since the income pays a goodly fraction (nearly half) the cash cost of publication.
The first No. of the current Volume contained 48 pages ; it was necessary to enlarge the second No. to 56 pages; the third No. was 64 pages, and the present No. contains 80 pages. But I hasten to say that the editor is not an unlimited and uncondi¬ tional expansionist — so that further Nos. will doubtless keep within proper bounds.
It is to be regretted that Vols. 1-7 are wholly exhausted. It may be well to reprint a Summary Volume, reproducing in full all the original descriptions contained in Vols. 1-7, and the titles and abstracts of all the articles. This could probably be furnished for $2.00.
Mycologists are invited to use the pages of the Journal of Mycology freely and should any question arise as to the scope and purpose of this periodical it will be settled by a sympa¬ thetic perusal of pages 1-3.
Contributors are kindly asked to note the months for the quarterly issue of the Journal, and send copy by the 15th or latest 20th of the preceding month.
