 1 pi. Lyndonville, New York, 1920. — A privately published pamphlet prepared for the infor- 

 mation of the medical profession. The occurrence of a species of Fusarium is noted, and a 

 species of Cylindrocolla is described as new under the name C. faecalis. Brief mention is 

 made of the more commonly known fungous parasites of man, and a syn given of those 

 Ascomycetes which have been found in human tissues or excreta. A bibliography is appended.

1217. Fitzpatrick, Harry Morton. Monograph of the Coryneliaceae. Mycologia 12: 

 206-237. PI. 12-18. 1920. — Author believes it best to consider the Coryneliaceae under the 

 Perisporiales and close to the Perisporiaceae rather than under the Sphaeriales. Interrela- 

 tionships of species are discussed and a chart is presented showing author's conception of the 

 evolution within the family. The family is described and a key to the genera is included. 

 These are Caliciopsis, Sorica, Corynelia, and Tripospora. Coryneliella is excluded. Each 

 genus is described, its relationships are discussed, and a key is given to the species. Three 

 species are recognized and fully described in the genus Caliciopsis and two new combinations 

 are made: C. calicioides (Fries) and C. subcorticalis (Cooke and Ellis). In the genera Sorica 

 and Tripospora one species is recognized and described in each genus. The genus Corynelia 

 is to be described in the next number, but species of this genus as well as all the species in the 

 other general are here clearly illustrated by means of photographs and drawings. — H. R.

 [Data on the fungi imperfecti of Catalonia.] Mem. R. Acad. Cien. y Artes [Barcelona] III, 

 15: 429-467. Illustrated. 1920. — A large number of species of the fungi imperfecti were col- 

 lected in the province of Catalonia in northeastern Spain. Twenty-four species and several 

 varieties are described as new. — L. L. Harter. 



1219. Hedgcock, George G., N. Rex Hunt, and Glenn G. Hahn. New species and re- 

 lationships in the genus Coleosporium. Mycologia 12: 182-198. 1920. — A Peridermium on 

 needles of Pinus caribaea, P. palustris and P. taeda was found in close association with plants 

 of Amsonia ciliata bearing uredinia of Coleosporium apocynaceum. Inoculations with aecio- 

 spores were successful, uredinia and telia being produced on Amsonia. A new combination 

 is made and described: Peridermium apocynaceum (Cooke) Hedge. & Hunt. Infection ex- 

 periments, using aeciospores indicates that Peridermium fragile Hedge. & Hunt is the aecial 

 stage of Coleosporium I aciniariae Arthur. This species ranges from New Jersey to Florida 

 and Arkansas. As a result of successful inoculations with aeciospores of Peridermium 

 minutum Hedge. & Hunt on Adelia ligustrina, with the production of uredinia and telia, the 

 alternate host for this Peridermium is established and the new combination Coleosporium 

 minutum Hedge. & Hunt is made and described. Numerous infection experiments as well as 

 morphological differences indicate that Coleosporium elephantopodus (Schw.) Thum. and C. 

 carneum (Bosc) Jackson are different species. The new combination Peridermium elephanto- 

 podis (Schw.) Hedge. & Hahn is made and described "to distinguish it from other species of 

 the form genus Peridermium." Eleven species of Pinus are listed as aecial hosts and four 

 species of Elephantopus as uredial and telial hosts of Coleosporium elephantopodis. Peri- 

 dermium carneum (Bosc) Seym. & Earle is redescribed; fourteen species of Pinus and fourteen 

 species of Vernonia together with localities are listed under Coleosporium carneum. A new 

 leaf Peridermium, P. jloridanum, Hedge. & Hahn, is described on Pinus palustris collected 

 near Ocala, Florida. Peridermium intermedium Am. Auct. appears to be a mixture of two 

 species, P. carneum and P. elephantopodis. Seven species of Peridermium are listed as occur- 

 ring on Pinus echinata. Notes are presented on the period of fruiting of leaf Peridermiums on 

 pine. Eleven new pine hosts of various species of Coleosporium are listed, and thirteen new
