1958. Lloyd, C. G. Mycological notes. No. 60. P. 862-876, fig. 1463-1496. Cincinnati, 

 Ohio, August, 1919. — The cover of this pamphlet bears a good likeness of Charles E. Fair- 

 man. A brief statement calls attention to Doctor Fairman's mycological activities. A short 

 review of Katjffman's "Agaricaceae of Michigan" is given. The genus Pterula is discussed and 

 notes and figures are given for twenty-four species. A short note on the genus Dcndrocladium 

 is appended. Under the heading "tremellaceous plants," notes are given on the following 

 species: Tremella vesicaria, T. hispanica, T. glaira, T. samoensis, T. sarcoides, Auricularia 

 ornata, A. mesenterica, Exidia janus, Dacryopsis brasiliensis. — H. M. Fitzpatrick. 



1959. Lloyd, C. G. Mycological notes. No. 61. P. 877-903, pi. 124-139. Cincinnati, Ohio, 

 1919. — Attention is called to the fact that phalloids and other fleshy forms, when packed in cot- 

 ton saturated with formalin, can be shipped long distances in good condition. Notes are given 

 on many species of fungi received from correspondents, especially those sent from various 

 countries of the southern hemisphere. These include species of many genera of the higher 

 fungi. New species are described in Polyporus, Polystictus, Ptychogaster, Hexagona, Ster- 

 eum, Mitrula, Isaria, Septobasidium, Calocera, Rhizopogon, Catostoma, Lachnocladium, 

 Xerotus, Exidia, Daldinia, Xylaria, and Auricularia. Critical notes are given on many 

 species of Xylaria. A discussion is given of the probable identity of Ceracea and Arrhytidia, 

 and their separation from Dacryomyces is questioned. A new genus of the Lycoperdales, 

 Bovistoidea, is founded on the species, B. simplex n. sp. from South Africa. The genus is 

 characterized by the presence of simple capillitial threads with pointed ends. Attention is 

 directed to several misdeterminations in Baker's "Fungi Malayana." In a discussion of the 

 genus Septobasidium it is pointed out that three pileate species are known, and a genus Rudetum 

 McGinty is facetiously proposed for these. In the same vein Pseudothelephora gelatinosa 

 McGinty is proposed for a gelatinous Thelephora received from India. A report of the col- 

 lection of a species of Cauloglossum in the Philippines, C. saccatum, is shown to be incorrect, 

 the genus being regarded as still monotypic. Photographs are given for the fungi discussed. 

 Due to the high cost of printing, this number of Mycological Notes is distributed in mimeo- 

 graphed form, and the announcement is made that this policy will be continued. — H. M.

 14: 55-69. 1919. — This is an effort to determine the accurate designation for a group of fungi 

 whose pathogenic members produce various actinomycoses. By the accepted principles of 

 botanical nomenclature, Streptothrix Cohn (1875) is invalidated by Streptothrix Corda (1839), 

 and Actinomyces Harz (1871) by Actinomyce Meyen (1827). Discomyces Rivolta (1878) would 

 accordingly be valid, Actinocladothrix Affanassiew and Schultz (1889) and Nocardia Trevisan 

 (1889) are to be regarded as synonyms of Discomyces. Discomyces as a generic name is not 

 invalidated by Discomycetes as a group name. — Bibliography. — Albert R. Sweetser.
