Mycetozoa. 



(By A. Lorrain Smith, F.L.S.) 



Myxomycetes of the Jura.* — Ch. Meylan has made a continuous 

 study of these organisms in the Jura mountains, and now publishes his 

 list of species with notes. He found a considerable number of snow- 

 species, several of them entirely confined to mountainous regions. There 

 is an absence of dead leaves in these hilly regions, and in consequence 

 the species that grow in these altitudes are very rare. Meylan 

 describes a new species of Didymium and of Reticularia. 



Myxomycetes of Aigonal.t— J. Lagarde made a study of the 

 biological conditions that influenced -the occurrence of different species 

 of fungi at Aigonal in Lozere, and he adds a list of Myxomycetes that 

 were found there. There are nine genera with as many species repre- 

 sented, but the author explains that no special study was made of 

 the group.
