The first part of a Key to the North American spe¬ 
cies of Inocybe — Sections Squarrosae and Lacerae, — is given 
by F. S. Earle in Torreya, 3:168-170, Nov. 1903. 
The form and structure of the Mycodomatia of Myrica 
cerifera L., is published in the Proceedings of the Academy of 
Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, 551352-362, PI. XVI-XVII, 
1903, by John W. Harshberger. This is a new host for Frankia 
brunchorstii Moller; the author describes his investigations and 
observations, and says it is probable that this species “ is more 
in the nature of an endotrophic mycorhiza, to be placed inter¬ 
mediate between the ectotrophic mycorhiza found on the Indian 
Pipe Monotropa, and the typical endotrophic mycorhiza found in 
Thismia and certain other plants, where a definite relationship is 
established between the nucleus of the host and the fungous hy- 
phae.” A chronological Bibliographical Index of 18 items, con¬ 
cludes the article. The hosts on which Mycodomatia have been 
reported to date are: Alnus glutinosa, A. incana, A. serrulata, 
A. undulata, Elaeagnus, Hippophae rhamnoides, Shepherdia, 
[Frankia alni (Moller) Atks.] ; Myrica gale, M. cerifera [F. 
brunchorstii Moller] ; Ceanothus americanus [F. ceanothi Atks.].

(separate), outlines the study of the nuclear phenomena in the 
rusts by previous investigators, and details important investiga¬ 
tions by the authors which agree in general with previous results. 
In regard to the life history of the Coleosporium the authors say: 
“From the teleutospore to the sporidium we find uni-nucleated 
cells; from the sporidium to the teleutospore we have bi-nucle- 
ated cells. . . . There is as yet no evidence of any proper cell 
fusion in the rusts though the fusion of the nuclei in the teleuto¬ 
spore has the essential characteristics of a sexual fertilization in 
the origin of the nucli and in the behavior of the teleutospore after 
fusion as described above.Sexual reproduction in the
