diagnosis. Attempts to culture the fungus on various soils and media 
failed except in the case when certain black-looking soil was moistened, 
shut up in tin boxes and a dead worm buried in it when in about half 
of the cultures the fungus appeared. “There thus seems to be some 
association between the worm and the fungus, for the fungus never 
appeared in the control boxes of soil which did not contain worms.” The 
distinction between this species and A. dispiroides is noted. “The great 
resemblance of this fungus to the perithecial stage of a Gynnoascus seems 
to suggest that it may perhaps be a conidial form of some species of that 
genus.” J. Ramsbottom (London). 
REA, C., Glischroderma cinctum Fckl. (Trans. Brit. Mycol. Soc. 
1913, 4, 64—65; 1 col. pi.). 
The writer of the paper came across three different gatherings of 
Glischroderma cinctum but only the last collection enabled an identi¬ 
fication which was afterwards confirmed by Boudier and Bresadola. 
Fuckel’s definition of the genus species is given. “The definition of the 
genus, however, requires emending in the following points, the peridium 
is only moderately tough and durable and it dehisces by a well defined 
central pore that gradually enlarges. There is a well developed capillitium 
attached to the inner walls of the peridium”. The British specimens are 
fully described. Bresadola considers that this Gastromycete “belongs to 
the Plectobasidiineae and constitutes the type of a family that should be 
placed near to the Tulostomatacead\ J. Ramsbottom (London).

Rend. Acad. Sc. 1913, 156, Nr. 22 (2. Juin], 1699—1701; 2 fig.). 
Le A eptobasidium albidum Pat. se montre au Tonkin exclusivement 
conidifère. Les conidies se forment en chaînettes, par cloisonnement, à 
l’extrémité des rameaux, puis se désarticulent. La connaissance d’un 
S eptobasidium exclusivement conidifère permet d’émettre l’hypothèse que 
le Bometina corium Mang. et Viala serait une Septobasidiacêe.

Systematik und Synonymie der Pilze (Österr. Bot. Zeitschr. 1913,

Das Verzeichnis bezweckt die leichte Auffindung der in den 53 Publi- 
cationen des Verf. enthaltenen Angaben über die Systematik und Synonymie 
von Pilzen und zerfällt in drei Teile: 1. Vollständiges Verzeichnis der Publi- 
cationen des Verf. in chronologischer Reihenfolge. 2. Alphabetische Auf¬ 
zählung der gültigen Namen der Gattungen und Arten mit fortlaufender 
Nummerierung. 3. Synonymenindex, dessen Nummern angeben, zu welcher 
Art oder Gattung der betreffende Name gehört, Lakon (Tharandt.)

The two new species are Ascobolus Carletoni “ad stercus Tetrao7iis 
urogallD and Calycella Menziesi on argillaceous earth. Both were found 
in Scotland. Full descriptions and distinguishing characters are given in 
each case. J. Ramsbottom (London).
