 Aug. 30, 1917. — Thirty new species and five new forms and varieties of fungi collected in Erit- 

 rea, Northern Abyssinia and the southern Negri region, from the collections of Chiovenda 

 and Pappi are described. The plants are deposited in the herbarium of the Italian colonial 

 department. The new species represent the genera Lentinus, Trametes, Hydnum, Stereum, 

 Aecidium, Puccinia, Gymnoconia, Ravenelia, Sorosporium, Capnodium, Sphaerella, Rosellinia, 

 Xylaria, Pleospora, Trabutia, Sphaeronema, Phoma, Macrophoma, Melasmia, Coniolhyrium, 

 Diplodiella, Haplosporella, Colletotricum, and Macrosporium. — /. A. Nieuwland.

 1919.— The author attempts to work out a better basis for the classification of the Hypocreales 

 and the Pyrenomycetes in general than that now in use. He would discard the characters 

 used by students up to the present time such as the presence or absence of the stroma, its 

 structure, consistence, and the relation of the perithecia to the substratum and even the 

 spore characters although the latter are considered of more value than the former. He hesi- 

 tates to apply to the Pyrenomycetes characters such as those used by Boudier in the classi- 

 fication of the Discomycetes, i.e., the structure and chemical composition of the ascus, on 

 account of the incompleteness of our knowledge of the morphology of the Pyrenomycetes. 

 In this work, the author seeks merely to discover characters less artificial than those of the 

 stroma and less difficult to apply than those of the spores. He attaches considerable impor- 

 tance to the manner of the disposition of the asci in the perithecia and concludes that this 

 would be a good basis for a revision of the classification of the Pyrenomycetes when we have 

 a detailed knowledge of the development of a sufficiently large number of species. — Fred J.
