Ce volume renferme une quantite de notes et de documents- 

 mycologiques concernant la flore locale (listes de cueillettes et d'expo- 

 sitions), les procedes de vulgarlsation de la connaissance des Cham- 

 pignons, les moyens de prevenir les empoisonnements. 



Plusieurs cas d'empoisonnements graves ou mortels sont relates. 

 Les enquetes auxquelles ils ont donne Heu demontrent qu'on incrimine 

 souvent des especes inoffensives ^ auxquelles etaient melangees des 

 especes toxiques meconnues. Par exemple des empoisonnements attri- 

 bues au Lepiota helveola et au Clitocybe dealbata sont probablement 

 l'oeuvre de Y Amanita phalloides.

Sowings were made of the teleutospores of Puccinia Muhlenbergia 

 Arth. from Muhlenbergia Mexicaiia on the leaves of Hibiscus moscheutos- 

 and as a result the spermagonia and aecidia of Aecidium liibisciatum 

 were obtained. The following new combination and synonomy is. 

 published: 



Puccinia liibisciatum (Schw.) Kellerman n. n. 



Aecidium liibisciatum Schw. 1834. 



Puccinia Windsoriae Butt, non Schw. 1885.

An error made in the Journal in February 1903 is now corrected. 

 Ellis and Kellerman published the species Cephalosporium dendroides 

 Ell. and Kellerm. which has since been found to have eight earlier names., 

 The synonomy is: 



1. Botryosporium pulchrum Corda, Prachtflora, 1839. 



2. Botryosporium elegans Corda, Anleitung, 1842. 



3. Cephalosporium elegans Bonorden, Handb. 1851. 



4. Phymatotrichum pyramidale Bonorden, Handb. 1851. 



5. Botryosporium pyramidale Constantin, Mus. 1888. 



6. Botrytis longibrachiata Oudemans, Microm. 1890. 



7. Botrytis (Polyactis) doryphora Pound and Clements, Bot. Surv.

Puccinia lateripes B. and Rave on Ruellia strepens, hitherto assumed 

 to have pycnidial, aecidial, uredo, and teleutospore stages on this plant 

 was grown in all stages by inoculation in the greenhouse thus establishing 

 that it is an Aut-eu-puccinia. G. G. Hedgcock.
