1536. Anonymous. A rare lichen. Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales 45: 265. 1920. — 

 A note is recorded on a lichen collected on Mount Kosciusko by Miss A. V. Duthie. One 

 specimen collected in 1890 by Rev. F. R. M. Wilson is labelled Dufourea madreporiformis

 apothecia are present. — Eloise Gerry.

 This is a list of 74 species of lichens, mostly new to the flora of Portugal. Brief characteriza- 

 tions accompany each species mentioned and there is careful citation of localities. New 

 combinations occur in Bacidia, Buellia, Catillaria, Lecania, Lecanora, Lopadium, and Solen- 

 ospora. — Lecanora gerezina Samp. (nom. nov.) is proposed for L. tristis Samp, (non Merezk). — 

 Acarospora Zahlbrueckneri Samp, and Lecanora lisbonensis Samp, are proposed as new. —

 of human boils. The mycological features of the cultures and the inoculations are given.

 lesions on preserved vegetables. — Henri Micheels.

MYXOMYCETES 



1541. Meylax, Ch. Notes sur quelques especes deMyxomycetes. [Notes on several species 

 of Myxomycetes.] Bull. Soc. Vaudoise Sci. Nat. 52 : 447-450. 1919. — The author made a study 

 of 3 forms derived from Persoon's original Trichia botrytis: (1) T. botrytis Pers. gen., (2) T. 

 lateritia Lev., and (3) T. suhfusca, the latter 2 being regarded by some authors as varieties 

 of the first, and by others as independent species. He concludes that 3 good species are here 

 represented, and defines the specific differences. T. lateritia alone always bears the sporangia 

 aggregated in groups of 4-10, and apparently' served as tj'pe for Persoon's T. botrytis. T. 

 subfusca is distnguished from the other 2 by a marked difference in color of Plasmodium. — A 

 new species of Hemitrichia is proposed, H. obrussea; a new species of Lamproderma, L.
