of its very close affinity to the Isaria stage of Cordyceps 
clavulata.” 
Clavaria mucida Pers. as growing on alga-covered 
wood, said by Morgan “usually growing on a thin greenish 
stratum, Chlorococcus”, is noted by W. C. Cooker in the Botanical 
Gazette, 37:62, Jan. 1904. The hyphae do not enter the alga 
and have no haustoria, but show about the same close relation 
(says the author) with the alga as in the case of the lichen, 
Collema. He adds: From its constant occurrence and close 
association with this alga there seems scarcely a doubt that 
Clavaria mucida is in the initial stages of becoming a basidiomy- 
cetous lichen. 
In the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club for 
January 1904, J. C. Arthur publishes New Species of Ure- 
dineae — III. The article includes two species of Uromyces, 
six species of Puccinia, two species of Ravenelia, one species of 
Uredo, five species of Aecidium; total sixteen species. Two 
third of the species are Trans-Mississippian and the remainder 
from Porto Rico. The author calls attention to the fact that 
with the exception of four species the descriptions are incom¬ 
plete — including but one or two of the possible three, four or 
even more spore forms. A new species, Puccinia sieversiae, adds 
one to the very few belonging to this genus occurring upon 
Rosaceae. We note that the much-beridden Malvas are loaded 
with still another Aecidium ( Ae . malvicola )—previously re¬ 
ported and well-distinguished species being Aecidium tubercu¬ 
latum E. & K., Ae. napaeae A. & H. (Ae. callirrhoes E. & K.), 
and Ae. roestelioides E. & E. 
J. Bresadola gives nine new species, also one new 
genus, under the title Mycologia Lusitanica, Diagnoses Fun- 
gorum novorum, in Broteria Revista de Sciencias Naturaes do 
Collegio de S. Fiel, 2 :87~92, 1903. The new genus is Hyposcy- 
pha, a genere Dasyscypha dififert deficientia pili genuini in 
ascomate. 
Observations on the Cytology of Araiospora pulchra 
Thaxter by Cyrus Ambrose King, forms No. 5 of Vol. 31 of 
the Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History, p. 
211-245. It E an exhaustive paper accompanied by six heliotype 
plates. Literature is cited, 40 items, in chronological order from 
1881 to 1901. A convenient summary is given covering two 
pages. The author refers the genus Araiospora to the Pero- 
nosporineae — “but should be placed between Pytliium and the 
Saprolegniaceae.”
