from July to October, it began to increase in November, was greatest from mid-December to 

 the end of February, remained constant from January to March, decreased 0.2 to 0.3 inches 

 during April, and again remained constant during May and June. Sections showed that 

 cambial growth began a month before girth increase was measurable. Figures of the 

 parasitic activities of Cassytha melantha are given. — Eloise Gerry.

PTERIDOPHYTES 



695. Font Quer, P. Pteridofitas de las Pitiusas. [Pteridophytes of the Pityuses.] Bol. 

 R. Soc. Espanola Hist. Nat. 19 : 507-511. 1919.— The Department of Botany of the Museum of 

 Natural Sciences of Barcelona has undertaken the study of the flora of the Pityuse Isles, in 

 the Mediterranean about sixty miles east of the mainland of Spain. Several collecting trips 

 extending over parts of two years brought to light a number of pteridophytes not reported 

 before from these islands. Thirteen species are enumerated by the author as having been col- 

 lected during the trips from the Barcelona Museum, localities and other information being 

 given for the various entries. Mention is made of other botanists who have collected in these 

 islands and considerable discussion is devoted to some of the species found or reported by 

 them. Altogether the pteridophytes now known to occur in the Pityuse Isles number twenty- 

 nine. — 0. E. Jennings.
