Le Pilobolus longipes et le Pilobolus nanus possedent tous deux 
des caracteres tres nets. 
Le Pilobolus intermedius , Coemans, est a mon avis un Pii. longipes. 
Le genre Pilobolus, se rattache au genre Mucor par l'interm^- 
diaire du genre Pilaira. 
Les especes qui indiquent le mieux la parente des genres Pilo- 
bolus et Pilaira sont : du cote des Pilobolus, le P. nanus, du cot£ 
des Pilaira, le Pilaira dimidiata.

Netherlands Fungus Flora. 
Professor Oudemans, of Amsterdam, has just published the first 
volume of his revision of Netherlands Fungi,* which is chiefly of 
interest to us as enabling us to contrast our own Fungus Flora with 
that of continental countries in the closest proximity. The present 
volume is quite an imposing book of 638 imperial octavo pages, 
with excellent typography, but without any illustrations. It 
includes the Hymenomycetes, Gastromycetes, and Hypodermeae, 
following the arrangement of Saccardo’s Sylloge. The total 
number of species recorded is, for — 
Netherlands Hymenomycetes, 859 
,, Gastromycetes, 39 
„ Hypodermeae, 190 
Comparing this with Lambotte’s Fungi of Belgium we find — 
Belgian Hymenomycetes, 1056 
,, Gastromycetes, 31 
„ Hypodermeae, 155 
We may also compare the Hymenomycetes with the Hymeno- 
mycetes of France, published by Gillet, in which are recorded, 
Hymenomycetes, 1898. 
This leads us to the records of our own islands, and we find 
them to be — 
British Hymenomycetes, 1950 
„ Gastromycetes, 78 
„ Hypodermese, 257 
The inference, therefore, is that Britain has more than double the 
number of Hymenomycetes that are found in the Netherlands, 
nearly double those of Belgium, and, assuming that the list is a 
complete one, a little in excess of those inhabiting France. W e 
have no full record of the Gastromycetes of France, but those of 
Britain are more than double the number found either in the 
Netherlands or in Belgium. The Hypodermese are also in excess. 
It is equally interesting to compare also the Agaricini in these
