important contribution to the knowledge of Fungi affecting algal 
hosts — nearly two hundred species now being known. 
N. Patouillard in a Note sur le genre Paurocotylis 
Berk., Bull. Soc. Myc. France, 19:339-341, 31 Dec. 1903, pub¬ 
lishes his study of Paurocotylis pila of New Zealand and P. fulva 
of Ceylon and concludes as follows: En resume, raurocotylis 
est un groupe d’Ascomycetes forme d’elements heterogenes, 
duquel on devra retirer toutes les especes que ne repondent pas 
au type du P. pila. 
Sur l’identite reelle du Sphaeropsis Malorum Peck, 
by G. Delacroix, Bull. Soc. Myc. France, 19:350-2, 31 Dec. 1903, 
refers to a previous publication by the same author, then states 
that he has had an abundance of material for study collected in 
various countries. He says Sphaeropsis malorum is different 
from both Diplodia maura C. & Ell. and Botryodiplodia mali P. 
Braunaud; Enfin le Sphaeropsis malorum Peck est absolute- 
ment identique a Diplodia pseudo-diplodia Fuck. Je considere, 
d’un autre cote, que le Macrophoma malorum (Berk.) Berk et 
Vogl. n’est autre que le stade jeune du Sphaeropsis. 
The articles in the Bulletin de la Societe Mycolo- 
guique de France, tome XIX, qe Fascicule are as follows: 
Patouillard, Sur le genre Paurocotylis Berk.; Rolland, Note 
sul l’lnocybe repanda Bull, et l’lnocybe hiulca Fries; Delacroix, 
[Travaux Stat. Path. Veg.] Sur le “blanc” des feuilles de Muries 
de Madagascar produit par Ovulariopsis moricola nov. sp. G. 
Del., A propos de Stromatinia linhartiana Prill, et Del. (Sclero- 
tinia cydoniae Schellenberg), Sur l’identite reelle du Sphaeropsis 
Malorum Peck, Sur le parasitisme du Dothichiza populea Sacc. 
et Briard sur diverses especes de Peupliers, Sur la pourriture des 
Pommes des terre; Empoissonnement par l’Amanita muscaria, 
par un Pleurote et une Clavaire. 
Monographia Uredinearum, P. et PI. Sydow, Volumen 
I, Fasciculus IV, appeared 1 November 1903. It includes pp„ 
593-768 and the serial numbers are 880 to 1094 inclusive. The 
species of Puccinia enumerated are those on the hosts belonging 
to Orchidaceae, Marantaceae, Cannaceae, Zingiberaceae, Iri- 
daceae, Amaryllidaceae, Haemoraceae, Liliaceae, Bromeliaceae, 
Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, and Graminaceae. It might be noted that 
the authors do not adhere to strict priority in the use of names 
of polymorphic species. Thus they do not follow Arthur’s name 
of Puccinia sambuci (Aecidium sambuci 1834, P. atkinsomana 
1897, and P. bolleyana 1889) but retain Puccinia bolleyana with 
the others as synonyms; again, Puccinia hibisciata (Sch.) Kel- 
lerm. (Aecidium hibisciatum Schw. 1834, Puccinia muhlen- 
bergiae Arth. & Holw. 1902) is listed as P. muhlenbergiae Arth. 
& Holw. with other names as synonyms.
