MASSEE, G., Fungi exotici, XIV (Kew Bull. 1912, 253 — 255). 
The fungi here diagnosed were gathered in the neighbourhood of 
Calcutta. The specimens were accompanied by coloured drawings. The 
new species are apportioned as follows: Lepiota (4 species), Clitocybe 
(1 sp.), Tricholoma (I sp.), Volvaria (2 spp.), Annularia (1 sp.), Stropharia 
(1 sp.) and Agaricus (1 sp.). J. Ramsbottom (London). 
MASSEE, G., Fungi exotici XV (Kew Bull. 1912, 357—359; 1 pl.). 
In this contribution five new species are described and figured. 
Pleur otus Colae on young fruits of Cola acutninata , Diplodia Arecae 
on the seed of Areca Catechu, and Isaria Pattersonii parasitic on a 
“scale insect” are from the Gold Coast, West Africa; Dothidiella 
Pterocarpi and Helmintkosporium obovahim , both on living leaves of 
Pterocarpus indiens (the latter possibly being the conidial stage of the 
former) from Malaya. Isaria parasitica may be considered a beneficial 
parasite as it attacks injurious scale insects. The other species are injurious 
parasites on economic plants. J. Ramsbottom (London). 
MASSEE, G., Fungi exotici: XVI (Kew Bull 1913, 104—105).
