ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY, MICROSCOPY, ETC. 95 



Gallici, Hispanici et Italici, 40 species, sent from these different countries ; 

 one new genus, Heteroceras (Melanconiaceag), and a number of new 

 species are described. VIII. Fungi Aiistralienses, 2 species of micro- 

 fungi, one of them new. A. L. S. 



Fungi in " Scientific Results of the Expedition to Mesopotamia." 

 — Fe. Bubak (1914, 28, 189-218, 2 pis. ; see also A7i?i. Mycol, 1915, 

 13, 57-8). Many new species are included in this account ; they are 

 all of them minute and mostly parasitic species. There are several new 

 genera — Sderosphaeropsis, similar to a sclerotial Sphseropsis ; Basiascella 

 (Leptostromacea^), with one-celled brown spores ; Ramulariospora 

 (Excipulacese), with spores in chains. A. L. S. 



New Fungi from Saxony. — G. Bresadola {Ann. Mycol.^ 1915, 13, 

 194-6). The list is accompanied by a note from Krieger, explaining 

 that these are fungi sent by him to Bresadola. They are all microf ungi, 

 most of them parasites on branches, leaves, etc. A. L. S. 



Seventh Contribution to the Fungus Flora of the Tyrol. — Fr. 

 Bubak and J. E. Kabat {Ann. Mijcol, 1915, 13, 107-14). The 

 authors list 80 different species, most of them already determined ; a 

 small proportion are new to science. They are microfungi, and most of 

 them parasites on living plants. A. L. S. 



Contributions to the Knowledge of the Fungi of Dalmatia. — 

 Otto Jaap {Ann. Mycol., 1916, 14, 1-44). A very large number of 

 fungi (510) are here listed by the author. They belong to all the diffe- 

 rent groups. First on the list are nine species of Myxomycetes and two 

 species of Schizomycetes, bacilli which gave rise to disease of olive trees. 

 Habitat and locality are given in each case. Fifty new species of 

 microf ungi have been discovered and described by the author. A. L. S. 



Fungus Flora of the Tyrol. — Fr. Bubak {Ann. Mycol., 1916, 14, 

 145-58, figs.). This contribution — the eighth for the Tyrol — comprises 

 seventy different species, all of them microfungi and many of them 

 parasites. A large number of new species are described, and the following 

 new genera : — Cytostaganospora^ in which the pycnidia are covered by a 

 clypeus; Biplodothiorella, which differs from Dothiorella in the two- 

 celled spores. Bubak also slightly emends the genus Fedilospora von 

 Hohn., and adds a second species to it. A. L. S. 



Diagnoses of New Philippine Fungi. — H. and P. Sydow {Ann, 

 Ifycol., 1916, 14, 353-75, 1 fig.). The fungi determined were sent by 

 C. E. Baker in 1915. Sydow diagnoses a new genus of Puccineaceae, 

 Aiithomycetella, in which the teleutospores are in two series : the upper 

 series of one cell, the lower of six to eight cells, much narrower than the 

 upper. Setella, a new genus of Periosporiaceae, is distinguished by the 

 apical setulae of the perithecium and the septate spores ; Rhahdostroma^ 

 near to Scirrhiella, with subepidermal stromata and colourless spores, 

 one septate near the base ; Stegasph-eeria^ the representative of a new
