at least ten months. Details are to be published later in Bull. No. 
251, N. Y. Agr. Exp. Station. 
Edward Bingham Copeland's New or Interesting Califor¬ 
nia Fungi II, Annales Mycologici, 2:507-510, Nov. 1904, contains 
the following new species: Omphalia californica, Corprinus 
bakeri, Polyporus polychromus, Trametes sequoiae, Solenia gra¬ 
cilis, Verpa chicoensis, Helvella faulknerae, and Helvella hegani. 
The Verpa and Helvellas are illustrated. The diagnoses are in 
Latin. 
Revised List of Indiana Plant Rusts by J. C. Arthur is 
published in the Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Sciences 
for 1903, separates distributed December 1904. It is given in the 
latest nomenclature. The purpose is to embody the latest con¬ 
clusions and reaffirm those remaining unchanged, as well as to 
correct a few errors and add a few species to the previous lists; 
now 105 are enumerated, but the unattached aecidia and uredo 
are not included. Some of the familiar names are changed, e. g., 
Thecaphora hvdrangeae ( Uredo hydrangeae), Hyalopsora poly- 
podii ( Uredo polypodii) , Aregma (Phragmidium) , Caeomurus 
(Uroniyccs) , Dicaeoma (Puccinia) , and Jackya cnici ( Puccinia 
cirsii-lanceolati). 
Lentodiopsis Bubak n. g.— Eine neue Agaricaceen-Gattung 
aus Bohmen, von Prof. D. Fr. Bubak — is published in Hedwigia, 
43 :I 95~6, 16 Mai 1904 — the type species being striking “durch 
seine parasitische Natur und durch das deutlich entwickelte 
Velum.” This white Agaric occurred on exposed roots of living 
Fir. Besides the two characters mentioned it is of interest in that 
“die schmalen weit am Stiele herablaufenden Lamellen an ihrem 
ende am Stiele zellenformige Anastomasen bilden.” The fungus 
is said to be nearly related to Lentinus and forms an interesting 
link between this genus and Morgan’s Ohio Lentodium. 
The following titles indicate the mycological matter con¬ 
tained in Hedwigia, Band 43, Heft 4, (12 Juni 1904) : P. Hen¬ 
nings, Fungi S. Paulenses III. a cl. Puttemans collecti (Schluss) ; 
P. Dietel, Kurze Bemerkungen liber Triphragmium Ulmariae 
(Sebum.) ; P. Hennings, Fungi amazonici II. a cl. Ernesto Ule 
collecti; George Bitter, Zur Soredienbildung; v. Hohnel, Zur 
Kenntnis einiger Fadenpilze; E. Jahn, Myxomyceten aus Ama¬ 
zonas (Anfang). 
In an article by H. Diedicke in Annales Mycologici, 2-511- 
4, Nov. 1904, entitled Neue oder seltene Pilze aus Thiiringen, we 
notice many new species whose hosts are common plants, native 
or introduced, of this country; for example, Fusicoccum ligustri 
Died. n. sp. on Ligustrum vulgare, Cytospora koelreuteriae Died, 
n. sp. and Microdiplodia koelreuteriae Died. n. sp. on Koelreute- 
ria paniculata, Camarosporium juglandis Died. n. sp. on Juglans
