Kellerman, W. A. 



An itinerary of a "Mycological Expedition to Guatemala" is 

 given in the July number of the Journal of Mycology (1906), 

 with some account of the general topography of the country, the 

 climate, hydrography, the general character of the vegetation in 

 the several regions visited, including Lakes Atitlan and Amatitlan, 

 also three of the highest volcanoes. 



Charles, Vera K. 



The "Occurrence of Lasiodiplodia on Theobroma cacao and 

 Mangifera indica," see Journal of Mycology, July, 1906, deals 

 with a preliminary study of infected plants from Brazil and 

 Florida. It is supposed that the species is L. tubericola E. & E. 

 — to be determined by cultures, and reported later. 



Bergen, Joseph Y, and Davis, Bradley M. 



In a new and excellent text book called "Principles of Bot- 

 any," Messrs. Bergen and Davis devote two chapters to Fungi, 

 the first entitled "The Fungi and Their Relation to Fermentation 

 and Disease" (pp. 227-271), and the second, "Summary of the 

 Life Histories and Evolution of the Fungi," (pp. 272-4). The 

 five classes are considered : Bacteria, Schizomycetes; Yeasts 

 Saccharomycetes ; the alga-like fungi, Phycomycetes; the sac 

 fungi, Ascomycetes; and the basidia fungi, Basidiomycetes. Many 

 text figures are used, also two full-page plates — one (colored) 

 illustrating a Lichen, and the other an Agaric, a wound parasite 

 ( PI euro tus ulmarius ) . 



Garrett, A. O. 



Fasicle Two of "Fungi Utahenses," collected and distributed 

 by A. O. Garrett, High School, Salt Lake City, Utah, is devoted 

 exclusively to Puccinias, including two species of Aecidium. 

 "Commencing with the next fascicle, the printing of the original 

 descriptions will be discontinued."
