geriana Rehm is merely a Euporthe form of Diaporthe coneglanensis Sacc. & Speg. The occur- 

 rence of D. marginalis Peck in Europe on branches of the green alder is recorded and a de- 

 scription furnished. D. cerasina'Rehni is considered to be only a form of Valsa {Leucostoma) 

 cincta Fr., and the new combination and variety Leucostoma cincta (Fr.) v. H. var. cerasina 

 (Rehm) v. H. is proposed; Valsa sphaerostoma Nitschke is thought to be the same. — H. S.

2062. Keissler, Karl von. Revision der von Sauter aufgestellten Pilze (an Handen 

 dessen Herbars). [Revision of the fungi published by Sauter (on the basis of specimens in 

 his herbarium).] Hedwigia 60: 352-361. 1919. — Sauter described between 1800 and 1881 

 a large number of fungi, chiefly discomycetes, and since his descriptions of these are very 

 short and often inadequate, a knowledge of the type specimens in his herbarium has been 

 desirable. Keissler has studied these and records his observations here. Of 143 species 

 described by Sauter, he finds practically none to be valid. — H. M. Fitzpatrick. 



2063. KiLLERMANN, S. Neuer Fund von Sarcosoma globosum (Schmidel) Rehm bei 

 Regensburg. [New discovery of Sarcosoma globosum near Regensburg.] Hedwigia 59: 

 313-318. PI. S, 2 fig. 1918. — The rediscovery of this rare fungus is announced, and the belief 

 is expressed that it constitutes a valid genus and species. — H. M. Fitzpatrick.

 development of Dothidella Ulmi (Duv.) Winter.] Rev. Gen. Bot. 32: 534-551. PI. 16-19. 

 1920. — The development of this organism causing a leaf-spot of the elm was studied morpho- 

 logically and histologically. The paper is divided into2 parts. The 1st part contains a detailed 

 description of the development of conidia and ascospores. The 2nd part is a discussion and 

 comparison of the morphology of Dothidella and other asc omycetes and the Uredinales. The 

 author concludes that the ascomycetes and the Uredinales had a common ancestry. — J. C. 

 Gilman.

 albae Desm. [Concerning Gloeosporium Tremulae and G. Populi-albae.] Ann. Mycol. 17: 

 110-113. Fig. 1. 1919 [1920]. — These species of Gloeosporium are considered identical with 

 G. circinans (Fckl.) Sacc. and agree with it in having the spores, in part, united laterally by 

 short connecting processes into complex groups of various shapes. Based upon this charac- 

 ter, Titaeosporina is proposed as a new genus of the Melanconiaceae-Hyalosporae with T. 

 Tremulae (Lib.) van Luyk as the type species. A full synonymy and description is furnished. 

 The hosts are Populus alba, P. tremula, and P. canescens. The genus is thought to be an- 

 alogous to Titaeospora Bubak but differs from the latter in the absence of septation in the 

 spores. — H. S. Jackson. 



2066. Orton, W.A. Compilation of list of new fungi. Phytopathology 11:29-30. 1921,— 

 "The British Mycological Society intends to publish the original diagnoses of the genera of 

 fungi which have appeared since the last volume (22) of Saccardo's Sylloge, and to keep the 

 list up to date by annual installments. Doctor J. Ramsbottom, general secretary of the 

 Society, British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London, S. W. 7, has undertaken 

 to compile this list, and would welcome separates in which new genera have been described, 

 or assistance in any way. It is believed that the list will be valuable to all interested in 

 mycological studies." — H. M. Fitzpatrick.

 meration of fungi.] Vol. 1. cxxvi + 1230 p. Martinus Nijhoff: The Hague, 1919. — This 

 is the 1st volume of a 5 volume set. The4 additional volumes will appear at irregular intervals. 

 The work constitutes a host index enumerating all fungi living as parasites on the plants of 

 Europe. Citations to mycological literature have been added to the names of the fungi 

 listed, thus making possible the location of the original references to the parasitism of each
