SUMMARY OF CURRKNT RESEARCHES. 
Lichens of Cirenaica. — Eva Mameli ( Atti i 1st. Bot. Univ. Pavia, 
1920, 17 , 175-83). This is the second contribution to the lichens of 
Cirenaica, and the list comprises species collected by the Rev. P. 1). 
Vito Zanow in 1917, and by Doctor Armando Mangin in 1919. Four 
species and eight varieties are new for the Libyan country, and the genus 
Anayhychia is recorded from there for the first time, with three species 
and one variety, A. L. S. 
Mycetozoa. 
Mycetozoa of New Caledonia. — G. Lister (Journ. Linn. Soc., 
1922, 46 , 94-96.). The collection contains ten species which were 
found by R. H. Compton in the high forest within 30 miles of Noumea, 
and all on dead wood or leaves. It seems that in the lower lying woods 
the moisture is too great. The author gives interesting notes on the 
species, and finds that the remarkable constancy of the specific characters 
of the Mycetozoa is confirmed by her examination of the various 
specimens. A. Lorrain Smith.
