1302. OvBRHOLTS, L. O. Some New Hampshire fungi. Mycologia 13:24-37. 1921. — A 

 list of 195 species of fungi under 77 different genera collected mainly by the writer, the 

 Eu-Basidiomycetes being best represented. Hosts or substrata, and locality are given under 

 each species. — H. R. Rosen.

1304. PuTTEMANS, Arsene. Glocosporium Bombacis, n. sp. Bull. Soc. Path. Veg. 

 France 7: 74-75. 1920. — This fungus was found in the vicinity of Sao Paulo, Brazil, on the 

 bark of young shoots of Bomhax (Pachyra) insignis, forming irregular, clear, brown spots 

 later becoming darker. On these spots were found acervuli of what appears to be an unde- 

 scribed Glocosporium. The bark on the affected shoots becomes light colored and hard. 

 New shoots arise below the diseased ones and these soon become affected with disease. A 

 technical diagnosis of the fungus is given. — C .L. Shear. 



1305. Rabak, F. The effect of mold upon the oil of corn. Jour. Indust. Eng. Chem. 12: 

 46-48. 1920. — The spoilage of corn from the growth of mold is noticeably manifested in 

 connection with the fatty oil. — Henry Schmitz. 



1306. Ramsbottom, J. Canvas-destroying fungi. Nature 105:563-564. 1920. — War 

 experiences have shown this to be an important question, especially on "flax made" canvas. 

 Short account of investigations by W. Broughton-Alcock in Malta, Italy (Journal of Royal 

 Army Medical Corps, Dec, 1919), shows species of Macrosporium and Stemphylium to be 

 principal agents. Variation in color of spots due to representatives of several other genera. 

 Mycelium was found in canvas ready for making into tents, and it is suggested that its de- 

 velopment began during the retting process (not found on new cotton canvas). Willesden 

 method (cuprammonium) and "cutch" treatment prevented growth of fungi. Soft soap, 

 1 to 5000 solution, followed by a mixture of 1 per cent alum and CuSO* greatly inhibited 

 growth and gave good results at Malta. Author states that in Saloniki sodium chromate 

 proved superior to these. — O. A. Stevens.

 fungi of Bermuda with notes on the various groups and species included. Reference is made 

 to the "Memoirs of the New York Botanical Garden" for August, 1916, where a complete list 

 of the fungi of Bermuda is recorded. No new species of fungi are described in the present 

 volume. [See Bot. Absts. 8, Entries 687, 1320.] — J. M. Greenman.

 time naturally infecting Berberis canadensis, the infection being distributed over 8 counties 

 and found spreading to alternate hosts. — E. K. Seymour.
