AsGomycetella quercina ; and Gerard on Some Fungi from Kew Mexico. 

 lu the Botanical Gazette are New Species of Fungi, by Peck, and New 

 Species of Maryland Fungi, by Miss Banning; and in Grevillea Calif or- 

 7iian Fungi and Fungi on Eucalyptus, by Cooke and Harkness; and New 

 Jersey Fungi, by Cooke and Ellis. The Gymnosporangia of the United 

 States, by Farlow, which appeared as one of the papers in the volume 

 of Anniversary Memoirs of the Boston Natural History Society, gives 

 descriptions and figures of the American species, and observations on 

 the genetic connection between the genera Gymnosporanglum and 

 ■ Bcesfelia, the writer not finding that Oersted's view as to the counection 

 of certain species was confirmed by observations in this country. Sup- 

 plementary to this paper is a Note on Oymnosporangia in the Torrey 

 Bulletin. The sixth and seventh centuries of Ellis's North American 

 Fungi appeared this year. 



Species of fungi new to Great Britain were published in Grevillea by 

 Cooke, Plowright, and Philips, and by Berkeley and Broome, in the 

 Annals and Mag. Nat. Hist. A new illustratpd work by Cooke, called 

 Illustrations of British Fungi, to include plates of Hymcnomyceies, has 

 appeared, and will be continued in parts. Oudemans has issued a Re- 

 vision des champignons trouves . . . dans les PaysBas. Hedwigia con- 

 tains a number of mycological papers: Einige ncue Pyrenomycetcn, in 

 which Niessl describes some species sent to him for examination by 

 Eabenhorst shortly before his death, and notes on Microthelia and Didy- 

 mospha^ria by the same author, who does not agree with Rehm in uniting 

 the genera; and three papers by Winter, Fungi Helvetici Novi, Pcziza; 

 Sauterianm, and notes on Discomycetes. A list of works relating to 

 Italian fungi is given in Michelia by Saccardo and Penzig. The Atti 

 della Soe. Critt. Ital. contains an addition to the Mycologia Venota, by 

 Spegazzini, and the Giomale Botanico, a continuation of the Funghi Par- 

 mensi, by Passerini. Fungi Trldentini contains colored plates by J. 

 Bresadola. Fungi of Finland have been described by Karsten in 

 Hedwigia, and the same writer gives an enumeration of Finnish Poly- 

 porei, Auricularini, Hydnei, and Clavariei in the Eevue Mycologique, 

 where he forms a considerable number of genera out of older ones. 

 Gillet has issued a supplement to his Champignons de la France, con- 

 taining plates of Hymenomycetes. The Revue Mycologique contains a 

 number of papers on French fungi, among them continuations of Fungi 

 Gallici, by Roumegu^re ; an account of species collected in the Vosges 

 by Quelet and others; and of species from the department of the Saone 

 and Loire, by Lucand and Gillot. The Revue also contains an account 

 of some Algerian species by Saccardo, under the title Fungi Algerienses 

 Trabutiani. The new edition of Rabenhorst's Kryptogamen Flora, of 

 which the fungi are written by Winter, is an important work, of which 

 several parts have been issued, including Schizomycetes, Saccharomycetes, 

 Ustilaginece Uredinece, and Tremellini. Fungi from Australia have been 

 described in the Journal of the Linnean Society by Berkeley, and in
