ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY, MICROSCOPY, ETC. 799 



Fish Disease.* — M. Plehn and K. Mulson have studied a disease 

 that is fatal to trout, etc. It was previously known and was considered 

 to be a sporozoon. The authors made cultures of the organism, which 

 they have named Ichthyophonus Hoferi, and they are inclined to classify 

 it as a fungus and as a genus of Chytridiueae. Descriptions of the 

 cultures and figures of the fungus are published. 



Obituary Notice. f — Maurice Barbier has published a short sketch of 

 Dr. F. H. Gillot. He was a devoted physician, and, in addition, a keen 

 naturalist. He was especially interested in the toxic qualities of the 

 larger fungi, and constantly published notes on cases of poisoning due to 

 eating fungi, with researches on the harmful species. A long list of his 

 publications is given.
