Ernest S. Salmon gives an account of his cultural experi¬ 
ments with an Oidium on Euonymus japonicus Linn. f. in the 
Annales Mycologici, Februar 1905, 3:1-15, plate I. The species 
was indeterminable specifically since no production of perithecia 
was observed. In the course of the discussion a new term is pro¬ 
posed, namely, xenoparasitism, which the author defines as fol¬ 
lows : those cases where a form of a fungus which is specialized 
to certain host species and confined to them under normal circum¬ 
stances, proves able to infect injured parts of a strange host.

J. C. Arthur, Baeodromus Holwayi Arth., a New Ure¬ 
dineous Fungus from Mexico, Annales Mycologici, Feb. 1905, 
[3:18-20], gives an account of an interesting Rust collected by 
Professor Holway in central Mexico, alt. 3000-3400 metres, at a 
glance resembling a Leptopuccinia but the promycelium and large 
sporidia have bright orange contents. A new genus, Baeodro¬ 
mus is proposed for this Rust, the name derived from Greek 
baios, short, and dromus , course. As to to affinities the author 
says: “The relationship of these fungi is not clear. The gross 
appearance is that of the Pucciniaceae, and one might at first think 
that they belonged near the genus Kuehneola, yet the germination 
closely resembles that of the Coleosporiaceae. But from the com¬ 
pact structure of the sorus and the external promycelium, I am 
at present inclined to place the genus near Pucciniastrum, among 
the Melampsoraceae.” 
In Pests of the Ornamental Shrubbery, by C. M. 
Cooke, Jour. Roy. Hort. Soc. 29:1-25, PI. XVI-XVIII, Dec. 
1904, many species are popularly described and forty-six are illus¬ 
trated on three colored plates.
