It differs from Mucvosfovium in its penicillate branching, and in its conidia 
produced singly at the tips of the branches. The plate gives a drawing 
of the species. 
For the Mainland and Achill Island 667 species are recorded, 232 
of which are new to Ireland, 5 new to the British Isles and one Hygro- 
'phoms squamulosus (which is described), new to science. This is stated 
as at first resembling some forms of H . oliv aceo- albus but at once distin¬ 
guished by the floccose squamules and tomentose margin of the pileus 
in which latter respect it resembles Tricholoma album. There are also 
notes on the interesting fungi of the lists. J. Ramsbottom (London). 
LISTER, Arthur, A Monograph of the Mycetozoa. A descriptive 
catalogue of the species in the Herbarium of the British Museum. 
2nd edition, revised by Gulielma Lister. (British Museum, 1911, 
302 pp., 202 halfpage plates and 56 woodcuts.) 
The first edition of this well-known work on Mycetozoa was pu¬ 
blished in 1894. „The widespread interest aroused in the study of the 
Mycetozoa by the publication of Mr. Lister’s work has found expression 
in a large influx of material, the study of which has led to the recog¬ 
nition of new genera and species, and an extension of our knowledge of 
the geographical distribution of known forms; and has in some instances 
rendered necessary a re-consideration of views previously held. These 
considerations, together with the revision of the nomenclature in confor¬ 
mity with the international rules, practically necessitated re-writing the 
book when the need arose for a new edition. In the preparation of this 
edition Miss Lister has continued the work in which she was for so long 
and so intimately associated with her father, and for which she is so emi¬ 
nently well equipped. 
A special feature of the second edition is the replacement of the 
collotype plates by a new and more complete series. A large proportion 
have been reproduced by the three-colour process, and greater justice 
has thus been done to the original drawings by Mr. and Miss Lister, 
than was possible by the method of reproduction formerly employed. A 
bibliography has been added, and also a short glossary which supplements 
the explanation of terms given in the introduction“ (Preface). 
120 of the plates are coloured; altogether 251 species and varieties 
are depicted. J. Ramsbottom (London).

Lagarde hatte Plicaria Personii und PL Planchonis in eine Species 
vereinigt und diese als PL Personii (Crouan) Boudier bezeichnet. Da 
aber Verf. die Vereinigung jener zwei Arten nicht billigt, so kann er obige 
Benennung nicht acceptieren; Lagarde hätte vielmehr schreiben müssen 
PL Personii (Crouan) Lagarde. Mit PL Planchonis ist dagegen wahr¬ 
scheinlich Peziza atro-violacea De Seynes identisch. Ed. Fischer.
