Grevillea, December, 1890, contains, besides the usual number 
of new species, to which there seems no end, a continuation of 
British Thelephorei and of British Pyrenomycetes. Two new 
genera are proposed, one “ Sclerodepsis’’ Cooke, for certain species 
of Trametes, in which the edge of the pileus and the dissepiments of 
the pores are acute; the other ‘‘ Chainoderma”’ Mass. for an Aus- 
tralian species heretofore considered to belong to Secotium. By 
far the most interesting paper contained in the number is ‘‘ Contro- 
verted Agarics,” a paper read before the Woolhope Naturalists’ 
Field Club, in which Mr. Cooke discusses certain points which have 
been raised concerning the validity of a goodly number of the 
species of Agaricini figured in his illustrations of British Fungi. 
With a frankness which does him the more credit, because it was 
somewhat unexpected, the author admits many of these errors, and 
even points out others, a proceeding which will make him many friends 
and go far to disarm his critics. The revision of the Handbook of 
British Fungi which has been for some time publishing as a_ 
supplement in Grevillea, has reached the end of the first volume, | 
the index will follow soon. Bn. WOH.
