328 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



contains some interesting views of places associated with Douglas's 

 journeys and a picture of the memorial tablet erected to his memory 

 on the front wall of Kawaiahao Church, Honolulu. 



The friends of the late Clarence Bicknell (see Journ. Bot. 1918, 

 303) are anxious to place in Bordighera some memorial of his forty 

 years' residence there. ** In addition to his keen scientific work in 

 inany varied fields, he took the deepest interest in the welfare of the 

 poor and was one of their best friends and most generous benefactors, 

 and it is proposed that the memorial should take the form of a dis- 

 pensary for the gratuitous treatment of the poor and an increased 

 endowment of the Home for the aged. Many botanists who have 

 visited Bordighera have benefited by Bicknell's knowledge and kind- 

 ness, and it is thought that there may be some who would like to 

 cooperate in the scheme" : contributions should be sent to P. D. Leake, 

 Esq., K 1 The Albany, Piccadilly, London, W.l. 



We note with pleasure the greatly improved appearance of the 

 Transactions of the British Mycological Society for 1918 (Cam- 

 bridge University Press, price 10s. 6f?.) for which we think our 

 continued protests have been at least partly responsible. Among the 

 contents may be noted the presidential address of Dr. David Paul, 

 *' On the Earlier Study of Fungi in Britain " ; notes on some Sapro- 

 phytic Fungi of Potatoes, by Dr. Pethybridge, with two plates ; notes 

 on Coins Gardneri (1 plate) by Mr. Petch ; New British Fungi, by 

 Miss Wakefield ; New or Rare Microfungi b}^ Miss A. L. Smith ; a 

 Revision of British Clavarise, by Mr. A. D. Cotton and Miss Wake- 

 field, with a new species, C. Broomei ; Some Concepts in Mycology, 

 by Mr. W. B. Brierley ; Mycena epipterygioides, n. sp. (not localized), 

 b}^ Mr. A. A. Pearson. 



The Rev. E. F. Linton has re-issued his Flora of Bournemouth, 

 which appeared in 1900, with an appendix containing numerous 

 additional localities and a list of Ruhi b^^ the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, 

 as well as one or two additional species, to which we think attention 

 should have been called in the prefatory note. Of these the most 

 interesting is Lobelia urens " on a heathy piece of woodland, to 

 which I was conducted by the Rev. C. 0. S. Hatton, in Hinton, where 

 we were both of opinion that it was a native station." 



Mr. Martin Nijhoff of the Hague announces the publication of 

 the first volume of an Enumeratio Systematica Fungoritm by the 

 late C. A. J. A. Oudemans (t 1906). In the preface, which has been 

 distributed as a circular, the editor, Mr. J. W. Moll, gives an 

 interesting account of the work and of the botanists who have con- 

 tributed in its production. When completed it will consist of five 

 volumes of about 1200 pages each : the price of each is £3. 



Dr. S. H. Vines is retiring from the Professorship of Botany at 

 Oxford at the end of this j^ear. 



The attention of our readers is called to the advei*tisement of the 

 volumes of the Journal which appears on p. 3 of the wrapper of this 

 number.
