NOTES FROM MYCOLOGICAL LITERATURE XVI. 
W. A. KELLERMAN. 
Mycological Notes, C. G. Lloyd, No. 20:221-244, PI. 55- 
69, June 1905, treats of the Lycoperdons of the United States. 
Only a brief discussion of characters is given, supplementary to 
the outline for the European species. The spores can be divided 
into two classes, (1) the large rough spores 6-8 mic., and (2) 
the small or medium (4-5 mic.) smooth or slightly rough spores. 
The three important papers noted are those of Peck, Trelease and 
Morgan. Mr. Lloyd makes the following sections, for the Ameri¬ 
can species, namely: Atropurpureum, Gemmatum, Pratense, Poly- 
morphum, and Spadiceum sections. Full notes and comments 
relative to the various species are given, and in each case a list 
of localities for the specimens in Mr. Lloyd’s collection. Thirty- 
five species of Lyncoperdons are included. 
Prof. E. W. D. Holway has begun the publication of a 
spendid monograph of the North American Uredineae. Vol. I, 
Part I, issued April 15, 1905, contains the Pucciniae of Ranuncu- 
laceae, Berberidaceae, Papaveraceae, Bromeliaceae, Commelin- 
aceae, Juncaceae, Liliaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Iridaceae, and 
Orchidaceae. The design of the work as stated: “is to fur¬ 
nish such descriptions and photomicrographs as will enable any¬ 
one to determine” the species of Uredineae. The descriptions 
are all drawn from specimens in the herbarium of the University 
of Minnesota. Complete synonomy is given and exsiccati cited. 
The photographs are all magnified two hundred diameters. The 
large page, 8J x 11, 10-pt. type, good paper, admirable photo¬ 
graphs of all the species, commend this work in the highest 
degree. At least for Uredineae we are now promised literature 
not inferior to that prevalent in Germany. 
C. G. Lloyd’s Mycological Notes No. 18:189-204, PI. 17- 
24, July, 1904, is devoted mainly to: (285) The Genus Trichaster, 
(286) Lanophila bi-color, 287) Lasiosphaeria fenzlii, (288) The 
genus Schizostoma and (289) Broomeia congregata. 
Charles Horton Peck publishes New Species of Fungi 
in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 32: 77-81, February 1905. They are the 
following: Lepiota maculans, Mycena denticulata, Pleurotus um- 
bonatus, Lactarius sumstinei, Marasmius sutliffae, Panus merulii- 
ceps, Flammula multifolia, Cortinarius braendlei, Cortinarius 
morrisii, Stropharia schraderi, Psathyra multipedata, and Geo¬ 
pyxis nebulosoides. 
C. G. Lloyd’s Mycological Notes No. 19, May 1905, is de¬ 
voted to the Genus Lycoperdon in Europe — with some additional
