light either plant. Lysuru^ tcxensis Ellis, and Laternea triscapa 

 Turp. are the two plants reported from Texas, but apparently the 

 specimens are lost as both Burt and myself have been unable to 

 locate them.

NOTES FROM MYCOLOGICAL LITERATURE. XXIII. 



W. A, KELLERMAN. 



Peck, Charles H. 



"A New Species of Galera" — G. kellermani — is described 

 in the July No. of the Journal of Mycology by Professor Peck, 

 who adds : The distinguishing characters of this species are its 

 broadly expanded or plane grayish brown pileus with its minutely 

 granulose or mealy surface, its persistently striate margin and 

 its very narrow gills becoming brownish with age. The indica- 

 tion of a veil is also unusual. A full-page half tone illustrates 

 the new species.

These authors outline a "New Method of Mounting Fungi 

 Grown in Cultures for the Herbarium." The plan is to grow 

 the specimens on rather stiff agar-agar and protect them (the 

 agar plates having been divided into square blocks) by means 

 of perforated cardboard — see Journal of Mycology for July 

 1906. They say that "This method of mounting has proven very 

 convenient with specimens of Stilbum, Graphium, Ceratosto- 

 mella, Hormodendron and other similar fungi ; it is best, how- 

 ever, to poison the specimen after mounting, by spraying it with 

 a strychnine solution."
