PIymenomycetes novi vel minus coGNiTi cura Ab. J. Bresa- 
dola (Ann. Mycolog. 3:159-164, April 1905) though referring 
to European species may here be noted. They are nearly all new 
and the list is as follows: Tricholoma sulphurescens, Pleurotus 
rhodophyllus, Volvaria fuscidula, Pluteus murinus, P. diettrichii, 
Inocybe muricellata, I. similis, I. umbrinella, I. patouillardii, Nau- 
coria flava, Clarkeinda cellaris, Polyporus subtestacens, P. friesii, 
Trametes nigrescens, Corticium roseocremeum, C. flavescens, C. 
trigonospermum, Septobasidium hagliettoanum. S. mariani, and 
S. cavarae. 
In Notae Mycologicae auctore P. A. Saccardo, Ann. 
Mycolog. 3 : 165-171, April 1905, there are twenty-five new species 
described, the following being American (Mexican) : Orbilia 
coleosporoides on Didymaea mollis, Septoria hiascens on Arbutus, 
and Phleospora bonanseana on Schinus mollis. New genera pro¬ 
posed are Orbiliopsis (subg.), and Fioriella. 
George Francis Atkinson is the author of a College 
Text-book of Botany, pp. I-XVI, 1-737, published by Henry 
Holt & Co., New York, 1905. Chapters XIX to XXII inclusive 
are devoted to the Fungi. A good general account is given of 
several representatives illustrated by many etchings and half¬ 
tones. The final chapter is devoted to the classification of fungi, 
the genera orders and families being briefly diagnosed, — based 
on that presented in Engler & Prantl’s Pflanzenfamilien.

In New Work upon Wheat Rust, Science, N. S., 22 : 50-1, 
14 July, 1905, Henry L. Bolley states that it will be interesting 
news to mycologists to know that we have at last definitely estab¬ 
lished the fact of the wintering of the red spores (uredospores) 
of a number of the important rusts in viable form, including the 
important species Puccinia graminis. In some cases Professor
