July 1905] Notes from Mycological Literature 
181 
notes, as Caulogossum transversarium, Queletia miribilis, Rev. G. 
Bresadola, Principles of Priority, Stations for Anthurus borealis, 
and Simblum rubescens. The characters of Lycoperdon are out¬ 
lined, the history sketched and the following sections of the genus 
made: Atropurpureum, Gemmatum, Pratense, and Spadiceum. 
Of the half-tones, Plate No. 40 shows Cauloglossum transversari¬ 
um ; 41-54 exhibit Lycoperdons partly from American but mostly 
from European specimens. 
Joseph Charles Arthur treats of the Ampitispores of 
the Grass and Sedge Rusts in the January No. of the Bulletin of 
the Torrey Botanical Club, 1905, pp. 35-41. Following a general 
sketch of the characters of amphispores an account is given, with 
text figures, of the following arid-region species that exhibit such 
spores: Puccinia vexans Farl. ( Uromyces brandagei Pk.) ; Puc- 
cinia tripsaci D. & PI. ( Uredo pallida I). &. PI.) ; Puccinia stipae 
Arth. ( Uredo eriomae Ell., U. luxurians E. & E., Puccinia sub- 
sterilis E. & E., P. micrantha Griff.) ; Puccinia tosta ( Uromyces 
scaber E. & E.) ; Puccinia cryptandri Ell. & Barth. ( Uromyces 
simulans Pk.) ; Uromyces rottboelliae Arth.; Puccinia caricis 
strictae Diet. ( Uromyces caricis Pk.) ; and Puccinia atrofusca (D. 
& T.) PIolw. ( Uromyces atrofuscus Dudl. & Thomps.). Dr. Ar¬ 
thur also describes as new the following: Puccinia ( ?) garrettii, 
which is remarkable as exhibiting sori which resemble teleutosori 
but contain only amphispores. “Not a single teleutospore could be 
found and the species is referred to the genus Puccinia on the 
ground that most Carcx rusts belong to it.They [the 
spores] are clearly entitled to recognition as a distinct sort of 
spore.” 
In Bulletin de l’PIerbier Boissier Tome V, 1905, 31 May' 
1905, there is published an article of ten pages entitled Encore 
La Schlamydomyxa par E. Penard; also one on Lichenes a cl. 
Damazio in Brasilia lecti, Auctore A. Zahlbruckner. 
Beitraege zur Biologie der Uredineen (Phragmidium sub- 
corticum [Schrank] Winter, Puccinia caricis montanae Ed Fisch¬ 
er) is an Inaugural-Dissertation zur Enlangung der Doktorwurde 
von Walter Bandi; pp. 1-36. Druck von C. Heinrich, Dresden, 
1903. 
The following mycoligical articles were published in 
1904 in the Bulletin de l’Academie internationale de Geographic 
bontanique (ancien Monde des Plantes) [Tome XIII] : Contri¬ 
bution a la Flore mycologique de TAuvergne, M. L. Breviere; 
Liste des Champignons superieure de la Vienne, M. J. Poirault. 
Terms applied to the surface and surface appendages of 
Fungi by William A. Murrill, published in the April No. of Tor- 
reya (1905) is an excellent glossary of mycological terms. A good 
feature of the paper is found in the fact that after the alphabetical
