Lange, J. E., Studies in the Agarics of Denmark. Part II. 

 Amanita. Lepiota. Coprinus. (Dansk. Bot. Arkiv. IL N" 3. 50 pp. 1 

 Textfig. 2 Plates. 1915.) 



As Part I of this publication contained the authors studies in 

 Mycena, so he deals here with the 3 above named genera, giving a 

 series of critical surveys, based on personal observations through 

 many years. The paper, which intends to serve as a letter-press to 

 the authors „Illustrations of the Agarics of Den mark", a coUection 

 of more than 700 water-colour drawings, belonging to the Library of 

 the Botanical Garden of Copenhagen, has a key to each of the 

 genera, based on both macro- and microscopical characters. Most 

 of the descriptions are, it is a matter of regret, only additional or 

 critical notes to the descriptions of others, especially concerning 

 the microscopical qualities of the fungi. Füll descriptions giving the 

 authors whole interpretation of the species would have been still 

 more valuable. 



14 AmanitaSj 31 Lepiotas and 33 Coprini are dealt with, and 

 besides several varieties. 



New are: Lepiota gracüis Quel. v. laevigata var. nov. L. Cortina- 

 rius sp. n., Coprinus cortinatus sp. n., C. Hansenü sp. n. and C. bi- 

 sporus sp. n. 



A very fine coloured plate with 12 species of Lepiota and Co- 

 prinus and another in black complete the paper.

Dans la famille des Verticilliacees, la section Euverticillieae se 

 distingue de la section Gloioverticilliae par les conidies libres, en 

 chapelets dans le genre Spicaria^ isolees d'apres la d^finition dans 

 le genre Verticilliwn. Dans le genre Be auveria V mll&mva., ^Insienrs 

 conidies se forment successivement suivant le mode sympodique. 

 Sur une moisissure des Russula et Collyhia, l'auteur a reconnu la 

 disposition sympodique; mais les sterigmates sont parfois si courts 

 et si rapproches que les spores arrivent ä former un capitule dense. 

 II estime que la pluralite des conidies et leur disposition sympo- 

 dique ne suffisent pas ä justifier le d^membrement du genre Verti- 

 cillium. P. Vuillemin.
