 ogy. (Lecture I.) Jour. Trop. Med. and Hygiene 23: 101-110. Fig. 1-9. 1920.— A brief sur- 

 vey is given of the discovery of fungi pathogenic to man. The general classification of fungi 

 is given and in particular that of the families containing such pathogenes. Notes are given 

 on physiology and on the use of sets of fungi for biochemical analysis. — E. A. Bessey. 



361. Castellani, Aldo. Milroy lectures on the higher fungi in relation to human pathol- 

 ogy. (Lecture n.) Jour. Trop. Med. and Hygiene 23: 117-125. 10 fig. 1920.— The author 

 discusses thrush, broncho-mycoses, tonsillo-mycoses, certain mycoses of the nervous system 

 and organs of special sense, and certain mycoses of the urogenital system. A key is given 

 to the physiological determination of the pathogenic Monilia species, showing their reaction 

 to various carbohydrates, gelatin, litmus milk, etc. — E. A. Bessey. 



362. Castellani, Aldo. Milroy lectures on the higher fungi in relation to human pathol- 

 ogy. (Lecture III.) Jour. Trop. Med. and Hygiene 23 : 133-138. 2 pi, 6 fig. 1920.— The sub- 

 jects treated are trichomycoses and dermatomycoses. The former affect only the hairs and 

 may be caused by species of Aspergillus, Penicillium and Nocardia. The true dermatomy- 

 coses are very numerous and caused by a great variety of fungi, which are described in some 

 detail. — E. A. Bessey. 



363. Chalmers, Albert J., and Norman Macdonald. Bronchomoniliasis in the 

 Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and Egypt. Jour. Trop. Med. and Hygiene 23: 1-7. 1 pi. 1920.— The 

 article discusses several types of bronchomycosis and the causal fungi. The latter were 

 grown in culture and identified by the aid of cultural as well as morphological characteristics. 

 The species concerned were Monilia krusei, M. pinoyi, and M. pseudoguillermondi. A discus- 

 sion is given of the nomenclatorial history of the name Monilia. — E. A. Bessey.

 [New station for Myriostoma coliliforme in Italy.] Nuova Gior. Bot. Ital., Nucva Ser. 27: 

 7-11. 1920. — Myriostoma coliliforme was collected in Ossola (Piemootz) for the first time. 

 The fungus was found growing in close association with the roots of Polygonum persicaria, 

 forming with the latter an endotrophic relationship. Only once before, in 1902, has this 

 fungus been observed in Italy. — Ernst Artschwager.

367. KuNKEL, L. O. Further data on the orange rusts of Rubus. Jour. Agric. Res. 19: 

 501-512. PI D (colored) and 92-94. 1920.— Collections were made of the long-cycled rust, 

 Gymnoconia inter stitialis, and the short-cycled rust occurring on Rubus spp. about Wash- 

 ington, D. C. A study of these specimens has shown that the rust on the black raspberry is 

 always long cycled while the rust on the blackberry and dewberry is always short cycled. 

 Spores of the two rusts were germinated on water and Beyerinck agar at temperatures from 

 5° to 30°C. Spores taken from blackberry leaves always produced promycelia, while those 

 from black raspberry leaves produced long germ tubes. Additional morphological differ- 

 ences in the two rusts were observed. The spores of the short-cycled rust are small, angular, 

 and in mass cadmium orange, while the spores of Gymnoconia are larger, more regular, and in 

 mass xanthine yellow. The author considers that a genetic relationship exists between the 

 two rusts, since spores of the long-cycled species at times produce promycelia bearing sporidia. 

 The occurrence of a suppressed short cycle in Grjmnoconid leads him to believe that long- 

 cycled rusts are the more primitive. — \V. H. Burkholder.
