1142. Paul, David. Presidential address. On the earlier study of fungi in Britain. 

 Trans. British Mycol. Soc. 6:91-103. 1918. — This is a detailed discussion of the rise of 

 mycology in Greal Britain from the earliest times down to the day of Berkeley. The I 



notice of fungi in the English language is regarded as that published in 1516 in the Create 

 Herbal! No attempt is made to follow the advance in the study of mycology outside of the 

 British Isles, but the influence of Fries is mentioned. All of the earlier workers arc discussed 

 in chronological order, and the various steps in the evolution of the subject are clearly shown.

1145. Pearson, A. A. On two-spored basidia and other matters. Trans. British Mycol. 

 Soc. 6: 39-46. 1918. — The tendency of students of the fleshy basidiomycetes to ignore micro- 

 scopic characters is pointed out and deplored. The occurrence of bi-spored species is espe- 

 cially emphasized. Also the importance of studying the cystidia, and of making careful 

 drawings of these and the spores is discussed. A brief review of the literature is given from 

 this standpoint. — H. M. Fitzpatrick. 



1146. Pearson, A. A. A new Mycena. Trans. British Mycol. Soc. 6: 135-136. 1919.— 

 M. epipterygioides n. sp. regarded as related to M. epipterygia (Scop.) Fr. but provided with 

 peculiar finely ciliated brush-like cystidia and with a greenish yellow pileus. — H. M. Fitz- 

 patrick. 



1147. Pele. Note sur Aleuria Ricciae Crouan = Lachnea Ricciae Gillet. [Remarks on 

 Aleuria Ricciae Crouan = Lachnea Ricciae Gillet.] Bull. Trimest. Soc. Mycolog. France 35: 

 150, 151. 1919. — The author mentions the collection of Aleuria Ricciae on Riccia glauca in 

 191S, a fungus, which was omitted in the classification of European Discomycetes by Boudier. 

 The author lists the description of this fungus by Crouan and adds to this his personal obser- 

 vations. — Fred C. Werkenthin.. 



1148. Petch, T. Mocharas and the genus Haematomyces. Ann. Botany 33: 405-419. 

 2 fig. 1919. — Haematomyces spadiceus was described by Berkeley and Broome, in 1S73, as 

 a new genus of fungi from Ceylon. The author finds that this is not a fungus at all but a 

 gum-like exudation, called Mocharas in Ceylon, from wounded or, more commonly, felled 

 Bombax malabaricum. The old genus thus falls, but the author prefers to retain Haemato- 

 myces emended, for species subsequently described by Peck and others. According to his 

 new conception of the genus, it should be placed in the Helvellaceae, and not in the Bulgarieae. 

 A new species, H. carneus, is described. — E. W. Olive.
