M. Leon Rolland Gives Some Observations sur quelques 
especes critiques in the Revue Mycologique, October, 1904. The 
species commented on are Lactarius porninsis } Stropharia copri- 
nifacies, Lac car ia laccata forme retinispora Roll. n. f. and Bole¬

William A. Murrill Gives the Ninth Installment of 
His Polyporaceae of North America in the Bulletin of the 
Torrey Botanical Club, November, 1904. The genera enumer¬ 
ated are Ionotus, 11 species; Sesia, 4 species; Ischnoderma, Lae- 
toporus, Trichaptum, and Pogonomyces,— each one species; the 
last three are proposed as new genera. The new species are 
Inonotus texanus, I. jamaicensis, I. corrosus, I. wilsonii, I. pusil- 
lus, I. amplectans. Keys, notes and full synonym are given as 
in the previous Parts. The Inonotus pusillus is only 2 x 2 x 
0.5-1 mm. in size, one of the very smallest of Polyporaceae. The 
author says besides: Two other tiny plants are of interest in this 
connection, Prodiscus pendulus, which is also erumpent from 
lenticels, but has hyaline spores; and Coltriciella dependens , which 
is more like the present species in general appearance and struc¬ 
ture, but is stipitate instead of sessile, having the stipe attached 
to the vertex of the pileus like the handle of a tiny bell. 
Geotropism of Polyporus, Plant World, September, 1904, 
p. 224, is a note by C. E. Waters, referring to growth as semi- 
inverted bracket-fungi resulting from changed position by falling 
of old tree trunk.

dineae, by S. Kusano, the Botanical Magazine, November 20,

n. sp., P. diplachnis Arthur on Diplachne serotinae chinensis, and 
Phragmidium rubi-thunbergii Kusano n. sp. Outline figures of 
spores are given for the new species. 
Bruce Fink Gives Further Notes on Cladonias, IV. 
Cladonia verticillata in the November (1904) Bryologist. De¬ 
scriptions and notes on distribution, etc., are given of this and
