pedicellate." We quote Mr. Lloyd further: "We would extend 

 the limits of the genus Bovistella as above, for the following 

 reasons. When Prof. Morgan proposed the genus he knew but 

 one species and he clearly defined it as having a sterile base and 

 short, separate capillitium threads. If we had but this one species 

 it would be easy to define our genus, but there are many related 

 plants in the world ; some agreeing in both these characters, some 

 having only one of them, and others neither. The genus 

 Bovistella shades by a continuous series of species into Lycoperdon 

 on one hand and Bovista on the other." Plates 33, 70, 86, 87, 88, 

 89 illustrate the twenty-one species described. 



Hariot, P. et Patouillard, N. 



In the Bulletin de la Societe de France, vol. 23, Fasc. 3, we 

 find description and illustration of a curious new genus, the 

 authors remarking that le genre Colletomanginia est done une 

 sorte d'Hvpoxvlon compose, au meme titre que le receptacle 

 dune Morille est une agregation de Pezizes. It is placed, how- 

 ever, in the group Xylariaceae with the following description: 

 Colletomanginia n. 'g. — Major, lignoso-carnosa, superficie 

 cristato-alveolata ; cristis steribilus sporiferam partem in alveo- 

 lis dispositam circumscribentibus ; peritheciis immersis ; ascis 

 octosporis, paraphysatis ; sporis continuis._ atris. Only one 

 species is given, C. paradoxa, from East Africa.

This number is a continuation of the genus Torula ^yith a 

 few small genera of the same group, followed by the Echinobo- 

 tr)'eae, the Periconicae, and the Arthrinicae. Several new species 

 are described by the author, Dr. G. Lindau.
