prints of the most important species will average twenty to the 
century. For mycologists who wish them, water color copies of 
original drawings will be furnished of the fleshy fungi at the rate 
of ten cents per copy. The labels will be printed in Latin, and 
will be as full as possible. The price of the collection will be 
twelve dolars per century. 
From the Buchhandlung und Druckerei of E. J. Brills, 
Leiden, has been recently (1904) issued leones Fungorum Javan- 
icorum von O. Penzig und P. A. Saccardo. The text occupies 
124 pages and the lithographic plates are 80 in number. All the 
new species, and new genera are included that were published by 
these authors in Malpighia (1897-1902), three articles entitled 
“Diagnoses fungorum novorum in insula Java collectorum.” The 
authors well say: Da auch iiberhaupt, im Vergleich zu der un- 
geheueren Anzahl der bisher bekannten Micromyceten nur ver- 
haltnissmassig wenige Formen derselben durch Habitusbilder und 
Wiedergabe der mikroskopischen Charaktere illustrirt sind, so 
wird vielleicht die Abbildung aller jener neuen javanischen Pilze, 
die eine grosse Menge von Gattungen und Familien repraesen- 
tiren, nicht unwillkommen sein. The work can not be too highly 
praised nor its usefulness overestimated. 
In Atti dell’ Instituto Botanico deli/ Universita di 
Pavia, Volume Ottavo, 1904, the following mycological articles 
appear: Uredo Aurantiaca n. sp., nuova uredinea parassita delle 
Orchidee, nota del Dott. Luigi Montemartini; Intorno ad nuovo 
tipo di Licheni a tallo conidifero che vivono sulla vite finora rite- 
nuti per funghi, Ricerche di G. Briosi e R. Farneti; Contribu- 
zione alio studio della Micologia Ligustica pel Dott. Angelo Mag- 
naghi. 
In Dott. Angelo Magnaghi's Contribuzione allo Studio 
della Micologia Ligustica (Atti 1 st. Bot. Univ. Pavia, 8:121- 
133, 1904) we find the descriptions of many new species of fungi, 
the hosts in many cases being cultivated in our greenhouses; for 
example: Macrophoma ligusticum Magn. in ramis emortuis 
Hydrangea hortensis; Macrophoma helicinum Magn. in foliis 
dejectis and Hederae helicis; Cytosporella citri Magn. in ramis 
emortuis Citri aurantii; Sphaeropsis magnoliae Magn. in foliis 
vivis Magnoliae grandiflorae; Aschochyta cliviae Magn. in foliis 
vivis Cliviae nobilis; Gloeosporium begoniae Magn. in foliis vivis 
Begoniae sp.; Colletotrichum pollaccii Magn. in foliis vivis Au- 
cubae japonicae. 
A Lichen Society on Sandstone Riprap is discussed by

are: Description of the Riprap, Ecologic Factors, Composition 
of the Lichen Society, Types of Thalli represented, Varying Eco¬
