Smith, A. L. and J. Ramsbottom. New or rare Micro- 

 fungi. (Trans. Brit. Myc. Soc. IV. p. 318—330. 1913.) 



The usual summary of new records of the smaller fungi for 

 the British Flora made during the year. Five new species are 

 described , namely Ceriosporella Polygoni, Aposphaeria populea, Phoma 

 Orthotrichi , Cortiothyrium Peplis, and Ramularia arenariae. Chae-

Wakefield, E. M., On the identity of Corticium porosum, 

 Berk. et Curt. (Trans. Brit. Myc. Soc. IV. p. 341—342. 1913.) 



The British type of C. porosum, B. et C. is the same as C. 

 {Gloeocystidium) strarnineiim , Bres., which name must therefore be 

 regarded as a synonym. The specimen from Venezuela cited by 

 the authors is distinct. E. M. Wakefield (Kew). 



Wakefield, E. M., Some Notes on the Genera of the 

 Thelephoraceae. (Trans. Brit. Myc. Soc. p. 301-307. 1913.) 



The paper is divided into two parts, the first part being an 

 outline of the history of the Thelephoraceae , while the second part 

 gives some account of the genera as understood in recent works on 

 the group, with critical remarks. The genera Glycocystidium and 

 Gloeopeniophora are rejected, and the value of such genera as 

 Coniophorella, Hypochnella, Dendrothele, Epithele, Aldridgea, etc. is 

 questioned. The tendency to polymorphism of many species is 

 remarked upon, and the necessity for careful Observation of the 

 plants in the fresh State is emphasised. E. M. Wakefield (Kew).

 cies differs from P. rnuscicola, Cke & Mass. in the paler, more

 Roumanie. (Ann. sc. Univ. Jassy. VIII. p. 33—51. 1994.) 



Als Ergänzung zu den Arbeiten Borceas gibt Verf. eine Liste 

 von 206 Zoocecidien, welche sich in seinem Zoocecidien-Herbar 

 vorfinden und noch nicht erwähnt sind, deshalb neu für Rumänien. 

 Die Gallen sind alphabetisch nach den Genus- und Speziesnamen 

 der Wirtspflanzen geordnet, unter Benutzung der Nomenklatur 

 Houards. Die Gallen der Eriophyiden und Cecidomyiden, welche 

 nicht weiter bestimmt werden konnten, werden kurz beschrieben.
