A new species of Polyporus from Tennessee, namely, P. 
arculariformis Murrill, is described and figured by William A. 
Murrill, in Torreya 14 *.150-1, Oct. 1904. It is a small plant near

Fecundation in Plants, David M. Mottier, a book of 187 
pages, has been issued by the Carnegie Institute of Washington, 
Publication No. 15. Many fungi are illucidated from this point 
of view, the whole article presenting the subject of fecundation- 
in the vegetable kingdom by the discussion of concrete cases, 
selected from the great groups of plants certain typical represen¬ 
tatives in which the sexual process seems to have been most 
thoroughly investigated. The sexual process is called throughout 
the work fecundation , not fertilization. 
B. O. Longyear's Preliminary List of the Saprophytic 
fleshy Fungi known to occur in Michigan, Rep. Mich. Acad. Sci. 
(1902), 4:113-124, 1904, contains 486 names. Notes on habitat,, 
abundance, date of occurrence, etc., are given, but no descrip¬ 
tions except of the Michigan new species published in previous 
Reports. 
In the October No. of the Torrey Bulletin (1904) Julia 
T. Emerson publishes under the title, Relationships of Macro- 
phoma and Diplodia, her proof of the identity of a Macrophoma 
(Sphaeropsis palmarum Cke.) with Diplodia epicocos — “there 
certainly seems to be no doubt that the unicellular white Macro¬ 
phoma spores in the pycnidia are simply the immature forerunners 
of the mature Diplodia spores The material for the cultures (on 
agar, potato, bread and milk, bread and water, and pith and blade 
of cocoanut leaf) was obtained in Jamaica, from various collec¬ 
tions of cocoanut affected with diseases. 
In Volume XII (May-October, 1904), of the Centralblatt
