gills less decurrent, and the stalk more slender. The writer also gives 

 details of various fatal cases of poisoning due to eating fungi. He has

American Mycology.* — A. P. Morgan describes a new species of 

 JStrothecium found growing on wood. CI. G-. Hedgcockf has proved by 

 repeated culture experiments that the Phyllosticta found on the leaves 

 of the beet, and the Phoma found on the root of the beet are the same 

 fungus. The name Phoma has the priority. J. C. Arthur \ gives the 

 fourth of his reports on the cultures of plant-rusts during the preced- 

 ing year. He has succeeded in tracing the life-history of a number of 

 species. W. A. Kellerman § continues his index of Uredinous culture 

 experiments, with lists of species and hosts for North America.
