River near its mouth. Forest patches occur almost entirely in deep kloofs on the southern 

 side of the mountains and hills close to the sea. From the phytogeographical point of view 

 the divisions suggested by Bolus are adopted but the eastern boundary of the southwest 

 coast region is placed not at Van Stadens but in a line from Port Elizabeth through the Bethels- 

 dorp hills. — E. P. Phillips.

108. Waksman, Selman A. Fungi commonly found in soil. [Abstract.] Absts. Bact. 

 4: 5. 1920. — "Soils, rich in organic matter, will be found to contain, if the moisture and 

 temperature conditions are favorable, an abundant fungus growth. Soils with a low organic 

 matter content may show a fungus growth, under special conditions which are not definitely 

 established as yet, possibly at a high moisture content and at a relatively high temperature. 

 The same species of fungi were found in localities as far apart as Alberta, Canada, Hawaiian 

 Islands, Louisiana, Maine, and newly-formed soils from Tortugas Island. This tends to 

 confirm the fact that even those fungi which have not been demonstrated to exist in a vege- 

 tative mycelial stage in all these localities, do produce a vegetative growth. When the con- 

 ditions become unfavorable for the growth of these fungi, due to the climatic variations, the 

 mycelium may be destroyed, but the spores, which are much more resistant to adverse condi- 

 tions, survive, only to germinate and produce a fresh vegetative growth when conditions 

 become favorable." — Organisms are mentioned only by family or genus. [From author's 

 Abst. of paper read at scientific session, Soc. Amer. Bact.] — D. Reddick.

 2 pi., 8 fig. 1919. — After a bibliographical introduction and a statement of the general char- 

 acteristics of dune plants, the author discusses the specific influences of position, rainfall, 

 temperature, wind, and other climatic factors on the movement and other behavior of the 

 sands and the plants which live on them and hold them in place. — G. J. Peirce.
