 1-15. 1919. — In the monograph of these 5 genera tun specii , / Iphurea and Lach- 

 nocladium crcctuin arc described as new. Aleurodiscus tabacinus Cooke is newly combined as 

 Veluticeps tabacina (Cooke) Burt and Clavaria bicolor Peck as Lachnocladium bicolor (Peck)

 fig. 1919. — Yeasts were obtained from fig ami banana fruits and from palm and lurch sap. 

 From the fig two new species of yeasts were isolated : Zygosaccharomyces ficicola Chaborsky 

 n. sp. and Torulu botryoidea Chaborski n. sp. From the banana a species representing a new 

 genus of fungi was obtained: Asporomyces asporus Chaborski n. sp. From the sugar of Arenga 

 saccharifera and the birch tree many cultures of undetermined Mycoderma were isolated. —

 Luzula. [Puccinia obscura Schrot. and related Pucciniae on Luzula.] Ann. Mycol. 17: 4S-58. 

 1919. — According to an investigation made by the author the urediniospores found on Luzula 

 maxima and those of Puccinia obscura Schrot. differ considerably in size. Based on measure- 

 ments of 200 spores each, it was found that the urediniospores of Puccinia obscura are 22-25 

 xl8-20/x, while those found on Luzula maxima measure 23-40x17-29^. The author regards 

 the fungus on this host as distinct, names it Puccinia Luzulae maximae Diet., and gives a 

 detailed description. The teliospores are capable of germinating the year in which they are 

 formed. The author also gives a description of a rust found on Luzula Alopecurus by A. 

 Philippi, and names it Puccinia luzulina Syd. n. sp. — Fred C. Werkenlhin.

 PI. 4- 1920. — Four species of Meliola hitherto unrecorded from South Africa, namely Meliola 

 malacolricha Speg., M. palmicolaVi int., M. bicornis Wint., and a variety of M. geniculata Syd. 

 & Butl., have been identified in collections made in Natal and in the eastern part of the Cape 

 Province, and are here described. [See also next following Entries, 196 and 197.] — E. M.

 Districts. Trans. Roy. Soc. South Africa 8: 111-115. PI. 5-6. 1920.— This paper consists 

 of descriptions and illustrations of 9 new species, 6 of which belong to the genus Meliola.

 lection from Natal. Trans. Roy. Soc. South Africa 8: 137-143. PI. 7-8. 1920.— Eight new 

 6pecies are described and a number of species previously described are recorded on hitherto 

 unreported hosts. [See also next preceding Entries, 195 and 196.] — E. M. Doidge.

 1920. — The distribution of Asterodothis Solaris and its occurrence on a number of different 

 hosts are recorded. Spegazzinia Meliolae Zimm., Phaeosphaerelle senniana Sacc. and Isari- 

 opsis griseola Sacc. are recorded as occurring in South Africa and two new species, Dothi- 

 dasteromella contorla and Gloniella mulliseptata are described. — E. M. Doidge.
