their production can be ascribed only to the influence of the 

 fungus, and the invasion of these tissues and their fate demon- 

 strates directly its ability to act as a parasite; (c) inoculations 

 with the spores and mycelium of F. applanatus into living trees 

 resulted in an extensive browning of the inoculated wood with 

 a multiplication of tyloses — both far in excess of similar phe- 

 nomena due to traumatic stimulation." 



Oudemans' Work on Fungi 



The first volume of Oudemans' " Enumeratio Systematica 

 Fungorum," with about 1,360 pages of text, appeared in the latter 

 part of 1919. It contains a bibliography of 2,107 titles and a 

 host index of all the cryptogams and the monocotyledons (as far 

 as the orchids) that occur in Europe, either wild or in cultivation, 

 with the fungi that are parasitic upon them. Engler's nomencla- 

 ture has been followed in the main for the higher plants and Sac- 

 cardo's for the fungi. 



Oudemans died in 1906, having labored twenty-five years or 

 more on this work. Dr. Lotsy succeeded in getting a Society at 

 Haarlem to publish the manuscript, after it was revised and 

 completed up to the year 1910 by de Boer, Paerels, and Vuyck. 

 The first volume may be obtained for fifteen dollars from Mar- 

 tinus Mijhoff, Lange Voorhout 9, The Hague, Holland. The 

 remaining four volumes are expected to appear in a few years. 



This first volume is valuable because of its extended bibliog- 

 raphy and the numerous citations to the literature of the fungi 

 which it contains. As a host index for the fungi, it includes all 

 European plants, many of which occur in this country, and also 

 all plants grown in conservatories in Europe, among which will 

 be found many species from tropical America.

Errors in Lindau's " Thesaurus " and Saccardo's " Sylloge " 



Several years ago I sent in some corrections for Lindau and 

 Sydow's Thesaurus litteraturae mycologicae . . . ; a few more 

 have come to my attention which I think may possibly be of in- 

 terest to the readers of Mycologia.
