NOTES ON CURRENT 

 LITERATURE 



The Broom-Grasses of Wyoming is the subject of a Bulletin (No 

 46, Wyoming Agric. Exper. Station) by Professor Aven Nelson. 



In an interesting paper recently published in the Proceedings of 

 the Iowa Academy of Sciences, Mr. Carleton R. Ball enumerates the 

 willows of the State of Iowa. He describes fourteen species. 



In the Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Sciences (Vol. VII.), 

 Professor L. H. Pammel describes and figures a remarkable quince 

 fruit which produced over one hundred seeds, contained in five ceUs. 

 Ordinarily the cells are normally three to five, and the seeds much 

 fewer in number.

 which he describes the fungus diseases that have become troublesome

 This extends its range considerably to the northwest. — Sadie F. Price,

 of Antennaria could be counted on one's fingers, but once attention was 

 turned to them, each form was found to be an aggregate, with the result 

 that within the past five years some fifty species have been character- 

 ized. In a recent paper Mr. Elias Nelson (Proceedings U. S. National 

 Museum, Vol. XXIII. pp. 697-713) has presented a timely revision of
