A box of miscellaneous fleshy and woody fungi from Alberta,

Among the species in this collection are: Armillaria evanescens, 
Ceriomyces viscidus, Clavaria pistillaris, Coprinus comatiis, Co-

Several years ago, a single hymenophore of Boletus luteus was 
found under a young pine tree east of the large range of public 
conservatories. The past autumn, about the middle of October,

Studies in the Agarics of Denmark, by Jakob E. Lange, are 
appearing in parts in the Dansk Botanisk Arkiv. Part i appeared 
in 1914 in the first volume of this periodical and included a gen- 
eral introduction and a treatment of the genus Mycena. Part 2 
appeared in 1915 and included Amanita (14 species), Lepiota 
(31 species), and Coprinus (33 species), with keys and descrip- 
tions of all species and two plates of illustrations. The author 
considers Amanitopsis a subgenus of Amanita and Armillaria a
