BREFELD’s “ MYK0L0GIE.” 
Part X., when issued, will contain a continuation of the 
Ascomycetes . 
The entire ten parts will contain 90 quarto lithographic plates, 
including many hundreds of figures, and certainly very finely 
executed, but not comprehensible without the text, and therefore 
appealing only to the student, educated well up to the point. 
Taking the last part issued as an example, we cannot say that we 
think 60 pages of German and 4 plates, for sixteen shillings, 
offers any special inducement in an age of cheap books. If it 
should be argued that there existed no intention of producing a 
cheap book, but an indispensable one, which from its originality 
would command a sale at any cost, then it may be retorted, we 
think, that there are no specialists in this country, to whom the 
work is indispensable, who have not already obtained it, but, if 
there should be one or two still destitute, all the parts can be 
obtained through the ordinary channels of trade. 
NEW BRITISH FUNGI. 
By M. C. Cooke. 
( Continued from Vol. xix., p. 86.) 
Kalmusia stromatica, Cke. fy Mass. 
Stroma eutypoid, effused, elevated, black, perithecia immersed, 
with distinct prominent ostiola, asci clavately cylindrical. Sporidia 
elongated, fusiform, 4 to 7 septate, not constricted, brown, 30 x 
6 /*• 
On decorticated branches, near Oxford. (Baxter.) 
Resembling somewhat Kalmusia eutypoides, but sporidia 
different. 
Coryneum camellias, Massee. 
Epiphyllous, on irregular large bleached spots, limited by a dark 
margin. Pustules gregarious on the spots, splitting the cuticle 
in a linear, triangular, or irregular manner. Sporules lanceolate, 
(30 x 10 p), with two to four coloured median cells, and a 
hyaline triangular apical and basal cell, seated on sporophores of 
about equal length. 
On living Camellia leaves. Kew. 
It is possible that this is only Pestalozzia Guepini with the 
terminal awns suppressed, but technically it is a Coryneum in the 
present condition. 
Ramularia petuniae, Cooke. 
Epiphyllous. Spots large, orbicular or irregular, ochraceous. 
Conidia cylindrical, rounded at the ends, continuous, then 
uniseptate, hyaline (20-22 X 4 p), on short basidia, sometimes 
covering the entire leaf, and destructive. 
On leaves of Petunia. Plymouth.
