'Hilary mycelium is produced, consisting of binucleate cells with clamp conni md 



which is capable <>f producing the fruil ing body, does not seem to the reviewer to have been 

 fully substantiated. "Her figures are undoubtedly faithful representations of her prepara- 

 tions, hut her interpretations are not adequately supported." — H. It. Ro ■ n.

 Soc. 6: SS -01. 1018.— A total of fifty-two species is given. Critical notes call attention to 

 the more unusual and interesting collections. — H. M. Fitzpalrick.

 milieu. [Remarks on the variation of an Agaricus due to the influence of its substratum.] 

 Bull. Trimest. Soc. Mycolog. France 35:147-140. 1 fig. 1010.— The author mentions the 

 collection of Rhodopaxillus nudus, which was found growing in the midst of some Agaricus 

 campeslris in a substratum quite different from the ones on which we expect to find it. The 

 change in substratum had caused various changes in the structure of this mushroom. — Fred 

 C. Werkenlhin.

1127. McCallum, A. W. The occurrence of Bulgaria platydiscus in Canada. Mycologia 

 11:203-205. PI. U. 1010.— The peculiar apothecia of Bulgaria platydiscus Casp., (Sar- 

 cosoma globosum var. platydiscus Casp.), are described. In attempting to germinate the 

 ascospores it was found that the percentage of germination was very much higher on Czapek's 

 agar than on potato agar and suggests the use of the former medium for spore germination 

 in other related fungi. — H. R. Rosen. 



1128. McKixxey, H. H. Nomenclature of the potato scab organism. Phytopath. 9: 327- 

 320. 1010. The writer studied three strains of potato scab organisms all pathogenic upon 

 potato and all of which produced characteristic pigmentation on gelatin and agar media. 

 These differed slightly in virulence and pigment formation but were considered identical 

 with the scab fungus described by Drechsler and therefore to be given the binomial Actino- 

 myces scabies (Thax.) Gussow and classed among the Hyphomycetes in the family Muce- 

 dinaceae. — Maude Miller.
