 K. Norske Videnskab. Selskab [Trondhjem] 1918: 1-13. PL 1, 2, 2 fig. 1919.— The collection 

 studied by the author was made in 1914 by H. Printz, botanist of the Norwegian Scientific 

 Expedition to southern Siberia and the Urjankai country. It consists of fragmentary' speci- 

 mens growing in tufts of Carex or on the soil adherent to the roots of other vascular plants. 

 The species listed include S hepatics, 7 peat mosses, and 57 true mosses. Two of the latter, 

 Brachxjthecium ahakanense and Rhytidiadelphus Printzii, are described as new and illustrated 

 on the 2 plates, which were drawn by Printz. — A. W . Evans.

 tion of his taxonomic treatment of the North American rusts the author in Part 4 presents a 

 key to the 269 recognized American species of Dicaeoma and gives a complete treatment of 

 88 species. For each of these is given complete synonymy, descriptions of the several stages 

 and the known host plants on which each occurs. Exsiccatae are cited, and the distribution 

 and the type locality for each species is given together with the published illustrations. For 

 those species that occur on Poaceae Fred Denton Fromme is named as collaborator. A 

 total of 44 new species or new combinations is given. The latter in most cases represent 

 transfers from Puccinia, Aecidium, Uredo, and Roestelia. Two transfers are made from 

 Diorchidium and one from Uromyces. — In Part 5 the treatment of Dicaeoma is continued 

 with the presentation of descriptions of 112 species. For species on Carex the author has 

 collaborated with Frank Dunn Kern. A total of 63 new species or new combinations is 

 given, the latter representing transfers chiefly from Puccinia, Aecidium, Uredo, and Cae- 

 oma. One transfer is made from Rostrupia. — In Part 6 Dicaeoma is completed and Herbert 

 Spencer Jackson is named as collaborator for the species which occur on Carduaceae. In 

 this part is given a similar treatment of the genus Pucciniola with 25 species and Allodus
