365. Lloyd, C. G. Xylaria Notes, no. 1. P. 1-16, fig. 1200-1236. Cincinnati. 1918— The 

 author is now interesting himself in those Ascomycetes which have a large fruiting structure. 

 He desires that collectors send these to him, and he asks here especially for material of 

 Xylaria. In this paper he discusses the problems which confront the student undertaking 

 monographic work in this group, and states that much of the systematic work on Xylaria 

 has been inaccurately done. In certain species of Xylaria the interior of the stroma disap- 

 pears leaving the center of the club hollow. These species are here discussed as "the hollow 

 Xylarias." Approximately fifteen species are figured and described. Notes and photo- 

 graphs are also given for other interesting species of Xylaria received from correspondents. 

 These include X. Ridleyi, X. discoidea, X. mellisii, X. ectogramma, and X. gomphus. Isaria 

 flabelliformis is figured and its possible connection with Xylaria corniformis is discussed. —

366. Lloyd, C. G. Xylaria Notes, no. 2. P. 17-32, fig. 1324-1357. Cincinnati, 1918. — 

 Notes and figures of the following species are given: Xylaria castorea, X. chordae for mis, X. 

 pistillaris, X. filiformis, X. apiculata, X. arbuscula, X. herculea, X. scruposa, X. anisopleura, 

 X. torquescens, X. cookei, X. multiplex, X. obesa, X. lancea, X. luxurians, X. bipindensis, 

 X. pallide-ostiolata, X. moriformis, X.faveolis, and X. cristulata. The possible connection of 

 Isaria flabelliformis with X. corniformis is discussed. — //. M. Fitzpatrick. 



367. Lloyd, C. G. Mycological Notes, no. 56. P. 798-812, fig. 1239-1266. Cincinnati, 

 1918. — The title page of this number bears the photograph of Doctor George A. Rex. An 

 accompanying note makes reference to the value of his work in American Myxomycetes, and 

 contains a brief account of his life. The fungi discussed in the number were in most cases 

 received from Brazil. Of these may be mentioned Rickella transiens, Geaster stipitatus, 

 Hydnum villipes, Polyporus inopinus, Rimbachia cyphelloides, R. vitellina. Dacryomitra depal- 

 lens, Geaster trichifer, and Polyporus humilis. The genus Endogone is briefly discussed and 

 E. tuberculosa is described and figured. Sarcosphaeria coronaria is figured and discussed. A 

 collection made by S. H. Burnham in New York is regarded as the first American collection 

 of this species. Cordyceps ophioglossoides is said to occur on a locust in Japan. Notes and 

 photographs are also given for the following: Lenzites beckleri, Isaria cosmopsaltriae, Stereum 

 plicatum, Polyporus salebrosus, Auricularia Hunterii, A. delicata, Merulius castaneus, Podo- 

 crea cornu-damae, Polyporus profissilis, P. antilopus, Lenzites glabra, L. ungulaformis, and 

 Polyporus conjunctus. — H. M. Fitzpatrick. 



368. Moreau, Fernand. La biomorphogenese chez les lichens. [Biomorphogenesis of 

 lichens.] Bull. Trimest. Soc. Mycolog. France 34: 84-85, 1918. — The author shows that bio- 

 morphogeny is found in Lichens. In his first chapter, entitled Bimorphogeny brought 

 about by a foreign alga within the gonidial layer of Lichen, he states that within the outer 

 or inner surface of the Peltigeraceae a green alga oftentimes produces knots, which are 

 known as cephalodia. ' These cephalodia consist of a mixture of algal cells and fungal fila- 

 ments, similar to the gonidial layer. Biomorphogenesis is evident in this case. In his second 

 chapter the author shows how biomorphogeny is brought about by the alga within the gonidial 

 layer. — Fred C. Werkenthin.
