type of the genus, is referred back to Jacquin's name. He figured and 

 described it as Agaricus pseudoboldus. It has been finally named 

 Ganoderma pseudoboletus. 



Lentinus lepidius.* — P. H. Dudley gives an account of this fungus 

 and of the damage it does to timber and to yellow-pine cross-ties on 

 railway tracks. 



New Member of the Phalloideze.t — P. Hennings has described a 

 fungus sent to him by A. Klitzing from Mecklenburg, which he. has 

 identified as a variety of Anthurus borealis Burt, recorded from N. 

 America, and the only species that has been found in temperate lands. 

 Hennings decides from evidence supplied to him by Klitzing that the 

 plant is indigenous to N. Germany. He discusses Anthurus and 

 neighbouring genera, and considers that the species of Anthurus should 

 be classified with those of the genus Lysurus. He therefore renames 

 the species under discussion as Lysurus borealis var. Klitzingii P. Henn. 



Genera of Gastr"omycetes4 — C. G. Lloyd gives an account of the 

 general structure of the group, makes a few critical remarks on previous 

 attempts at the classification of its members, and suggests a system of 

 arrangement in tribes of the genera of Lycoperdaceas. Four tribes are 

 recognised : Tylostornese, Podaxineae, Sclerodermese, and Lycoperdese, 

 based on characters of stalk and capillitium. The genera are illustrated 

 by photographic reproductions. Further notes on Lycoperdese will be 

 found in the Mycological Notes, No. 9, by the same author. 



Fungi of the Setubal Region.§ — C. Torrend communicates the first 

 part of a fungal flora of this Portuguese district. It includes the 

 Hymenomycetes and the beginning of the Gasteromycetes. It contains 

 descriptions of several new genera and species by Bresadola. 



Fungus Flora of Sonntagberg.|| — P. P. Strasser publishes a second 

 contribution of 118 species of the fungi of this region of North Austria. 

 There are several new species determined by Bresadola, a new genus of 

 Sphaeropsideae, Strasseria Bres. and Sacc, and a genus of Phaaostilbeae, 

 Hbhneliella Bres. and Sacc, each with one species. The list now 

 extends to 856 species. 



Fungi of Piedmont. If — T. Ferraris is examining the Cesati crypto- 

 gamic herbarium, and publishes a first list of the micro-fungi he has 

 determined. It includes the Ustilagineae, Uredineae, Phycomycetes, and 

 Perisporeae. The author gives notes and observations on many of the 

 species. 



Japanese Fungi. — P. Hennings ** gives a systematic list of fungi 

 comprised in various collections made in Japan. Several new species are 

 described.
