NOTES FROM MYCOLOGICAL LITERATURE. IV. 
W. A. KELLERMAN. 
Mushrooms, A. M. Longenecker, Plant World, 5:213- 
218, 2 pi., November 1902, is an interesting illustrated popular 
account of this group of eight or nine hundred species, of which 
“at least 650 have been proven edible.” 
In Supplementary Notes on the Erysiphace^e, Addenda, 
Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 29:647-9, Nov. 1902, E. S. Salmon men¬ 
tions two interesting species of Uncinula from Japan, and refers 
again to the reported occurrence of the American Sphaerotheca 
mors-uvae in Belgium (an error to be expunged), and in Russia; 
in respect to the latter, Mr. N. A. Mossolow, of St. Petersburg, 
says “there is no reason to believe that the parasite could have 
been introduced into Russia from America.” 
One hundred ninety eight new species, and three new 
genera of fungi, were described (according to list in index) 
in the Journal of Mycology, volume 8, 1902. 
In a pamphlet of fifty pages, by O. Penzig et P. A. Sac- 
cardo, entitled Diagnoses Fungorum Novorum in Insula Java 
collectorum, Series Tertia, 1902, extracted from Malpighia 1901, 
there are described 164 new species and varieties; and 13 new 
genera are estableshed. 
The following mycological titles are taken from the pro¬ 
grams of the Daily Announcement of the Washington Meeting 
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, 
and affiliated societies, Dec. 27, 1902 to Jan. 3, 1903. Problems
