" South African Perisporiaceae. Ill : Notes on Four Species of Meliola

The fungi considered in the paper are all from Natal and the eastern 
part of the Cape Province, and have been identified from recent collections. 
" Reproduction of Fishes in Table Bay." By J. D. F. Gilchrist. 
The eggs and young of 21 species of fishes were procured in about 60 
tow-nettings made at more or less regular intervals throughout the year. 
Fourteen of these were referred to known species. The eggs procured and 
larvae hatched from them are described and figured. The eggs of the 
Sardine {Sarclina sagax) and of the Anchovy {Engraulis ca^jensis) indicate 
that these fish are present in abundance, though as yet not utilised for 
economic purposes.
