attention of mycologists ; on the chance that it may have escaped 

 notice I am appending it. 



Saccardo in his " Sylloge fungorum," v. 2, p. 352, cites as 

 synonyms of Ophiobolus herpotrichus 



Rhaph. herpotriche (Fr.) Fuck. Symb. Myc. p. 125. 

 Rhaph. lacroixii Mont. Syll. Crypt, n. 895. 

 In the " Synonymia" (v. 15 of the " Sylloge," p. 320) the spe- 

 cies are given as Rhaphidophora herpotricha and R. lacroixii. 

 In both cases the name used by Fuckel and Montagne is Rha- 

 phidospora and not Rhaphidophora. This error should also 

 be corrected in the Index to the "Sylloge" (v. 12, p. 663) : 

 Rhaphidophora Fr. et Mont, should read Rhaphidospora Fr. 

 et Mont. 



It might also be well to call attention to the fact that the 

 abbreviation " Car. et de Not." which occurs in a number of 

 places, especially under Ophiobolus in v. 2 and in v. 15, p. 320, 

 under Rhaphidophora, should read " Ces. et de Not."
