Rehm, H. 



Ten new species are described and critical notes on a few 

 others are .s^iven in the Annales Mycologici for December 1905, 

 under the title "Ascomycetes Americae borealis." 



Hoehnel, Franz v. 



In "Mycologische Fragmente" the author publishes notes 

 No. CVI-CXVII in the December No. of Annales Mycologici, 

 1905. A wide range of careful study is indicated — for the most 

 part pertaining to European species. The author proposes a 

 new genus, namely Lenfomifella; Wie Lentomita, aber die Sporen 

 mit aussen aufgesetzten feinen Laengstreifen versehen, daher am 

 optischen Querschnitte ringsum mit kleinen Waerzchen besetzt. 



Beardslee, H. C. 



Professor Beardslee here ( in Journal of Mycology, Jan. 

 1907) gives some notes on "The Lepiotas of Sweden," which he 

 in company with Mr. C. G. Lloyd collected in the sum.mer of 

 I9<^5- The same pertains to six species — L. procera, naucina, 

 rhacodes, cristaca, metulaespora and amianthina. These are some 

 excerpts : L-. procera agreed with our plant in every detail. . . . 

 Of L. naucina the spores are found to be identical with those of 

 the American plant [i. e., A. naucinoides]. . . . L. rachodes 

 is rare in the U. S., the red color not as bright in the specimens 

 in Sweden. . . . L. cristata and L. amianthina were in agree- 

 ment with the plants known by the same names with us. . . . 

 The Ashville specimens of L. metulaespora have slightly shorter 

 spores, but agree in all of the details with the Swedish plants 



Kern, Frank D. 



The "Fourth contribution to Guatemalan Mycology" in con- 

 nection with Professor KcUerman's study and exploration in 

 Guatemala was published by Mr. Kern in the January No. of the 

 Journal of Mycology, 1907. It comprises a critical study of 

 40 species, one-eighth of them being new. Specialists named the 

 hosts and Mr. Kern states that in all determinations and the 

 drawing up of descriptions of new species he w^as aided by Prof. 

 J. C. Arthur, and enjoyed the privilege of access to his her- 

 barium and library. This is the first report ever made on Rusts of 

 that country and in many instances new hosts have been added 

 and the geographical distribution has been extended. Those not 

 before listed are Puccinia heliotropii Kern & Kellerm. n. sp. on 

 Heliotropium indicum L. ; Aecidium guatemalensis Kern & Kel- 

 lerm. n. sp. on Heliotropium indicum L. ; Aecidium brysonimae 

 Kern & Kellerm. n. sp. on Brysonima crassifolia (L.) H.B.K. ; 

 Uredo cabreriana Kern & Kellerm. n. sp. on Buettneria lateralis 

 Presl. ( ?) ; and Uredo trixitis Kern & Kellerm. n. sp. on Trixis 

 frutescens P. Br.
