178 MORPHOLOGY AND TAXONOMY OF FUNGI ETC. [Bot. Absts., Vol. VI, 



uredinial and telial hosts of various genera including C. ribicola on Grossularia cynosbati 

 from Wisconsin, and on G. innominata and G. reclinata from District of Columbia. — H. R. 

 Rosen. 



1220. Lixgelsheim, A. Uber "steinreizker" in Schlesien. ["Steinreizker" in Silesia.] 

 Hedwigia 61: 380-382. 1920. — Verticillium silesiacum n. sp. is described as the conidial stage 

 of Hypomyces lateritius. The specimen was found on the market in Frankenstein as a para- 

 site of Lactaria theiogola. The name is suggested by the hardness of the hypertrophied tissue 

 as compared with tissue affected with Hypomyces ochraceus (V. agaricinum). Mycelium of 

 V. silesiacum is yellow and the conidia measure 18 X 7^. — Verticillium niveostratosum Lin- 

 dau on Fuligo septica and Stemonitis fusca probably is identical with the conidial stage of 

 Hypomyces violaceus. — D. Reddick. 



1221. Loubiere, A. Sur la flore fongique du fromagede Brie. [The fungal flora of de Brie 

 cheese.] Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. Paris 170: 336-339. 2 fig. 1920.— In addition to species 

 of Penicillium the fungi present in the order of their frequency are Fusarium sarochroum 

 Desm., Geotrichum candidum Link, Trichosporium sp., Botryotrichum piluliferum Sacc. & 

 March, Hormodendron cladosporioides (Fresen.) Sacc, Gymnoascus luteus Zuk., Lasiobotrys 

 sp. Reproduction of Trichosporium by chlamydospores and conidia is described, as is also 

 the formation of conidiophores and arthrospores in Hormodendron.— C. H. and W. K. Farr. 



1222. Riddle, Lincoln W. Observations on the genus Acrospermum. Mycologia 12: 

 175-181. PL 11. 1920. — Since the fruiting body appears to be a perithecium the author fol- 

 lows Ellis in placing the genus under the Hypocreales rather than under the Hysteriales. 

 Variations of Acrospermum compressum are noted; A. graminum Libert and A. foliicolum 

 Berk, are considered as varieties of it, the latter as var. foliicolum (Berk.) Riddle comb. nov. 

 Acrospermum Maxoni Farlow is described as a new species occurring on the underside of liv- 

 ing fronds of Polypodium induens and P. cretatum. Acrospermum corrugatum Ellis and A. 

 fultum Harnkess are said to be the same species and "is identical with the long known but 

 comparatively rare European species: Lophium dolabriforme Wallr." — H. R. Rosen. 



1223. Saccardo, P. A. Notae mycologicae, ser. XXIX — Micromycetes Dakotenses et 

 Utahensis a Doct. J. F. Brenckle lecti et communicati. [Fungi of Dakota and Utah collected 

 by J. F. Brenckle.] Mycologia 12: 199-205. 1920. — Twenty-five perfect and eight imperfect 

 fungi are listed, some with brief descriptive notes. One new genus and several new species 

 are described: Rosellinia subsimilis Sacc. sp. nov., Phaeotrype Sacc. gen. nov., P. Brencklei 

 Sacc. sp. nov., Diatrype paurospora Sacc. sp. nov., Chorostate utahensis Sacc. sp. nov., Dia- 

 porlhe (Euporthe) Brenckleana Sacc. sp. nov., Lachnum crystalligerum Sacc. sp. nov., Pati- 

 nella Brenckleana Sacc. sp. nov., Septoria Lunelliana Sacc. sp. nov., Melanconium botryosum 

 Sacc. sp. nov., Steganosporium utahense Sacc. sp. nov. — H. R. Rosen. 



1224. Sartory, A. Sur un champignon nouveau du genre Aspergillus isole dans un cas 

 d'onychomycose. [A new fungus of the genus Aspergillus isolated from a case of onychomycosis. ] 

 Compt. Rend. Acad. Sci. Paris 170: 523, 534. 1920.— C. H. and W. K. Farr. 



1225. van Overeem, C. Beitrage zur Kenntnis einiger Helotiaceen. [Contribution to a 

 knowledge of the Helotiaceae.] Hedwigia 61: 383-389. PI. 4, 2 fig. 1920.— Critical discus- 

 sions with extended descriptions from an abundance of material of the following: Gorgoniceps 

 aridida, Helotium sxdphurinum, H. pallescens. Rutstroemia firma has 3 types of asexual spores 

 Verticillium-like, Oidium-like and conidia formed at the ends of the ascospores. Ciboria 

 rhizophila is new to the Dutch flora. — Helotium virgultorum is exceedingly variable in form, 

 depending on conditions of growth, and the two varieties of Rehm, salicinum and fructigenum 

 are wholly unwarranted. — D. Reddick. 



1226. van Overeem, C. Uber zwei wenig bekannte Schmarotzer von Discomyceten. 

 [Two little-known parasites of discomycetes.] Hedwigia 61: 375-379. 1 fig. 1920. — Stcpha- 

 noma slrigosum Wallr. and Sepedonium simplex Cda. were found on Lachnea hemisphaerica
