Preparation of manuscript for the fungous parts of North 
American Elora is proceeding very satisfactorily. Dr. Arthur 
will soon complete another part on plant rusts. Dr. Seaver will 
send a part to press within a few months. Mrs. Flora W. Pat- 
terson, who is monographing the Exoascales, has received prompt 
and generous responses to her requests for material and will soon 
be able to complete her researches in this group. Mr. L. O. 
Overholts has undertaken the genus Pholiota, which he hopes to 
complete within a year. Dr. C. H. Kauffman has practically 
completed Cortinarius and will now take up Inocybe. He would 
be glad to receive material for the study of this difficult genus. 
Professor W. C. Coker has undertaken the Clavariaceae and has 
already spent some time at the Garden and also at Albany study- 
ing herbarium material. Professor E. A. Burt will be prepared 
to publish his researches on the Thelephoraceae in North Ameri- 
can Elora as soon as the series of papers which he is publishing 
in the Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden have been com- 
pleted, which may require two or three years. A part on lichens 
has been arranged for by the cooperation of Professor Bruce 
Pink, Professor Lincoln W. Riddle, Professor A. H. Chivers, 
and Mr. W. C. Barbour.
