Fungi Utahensis, Fascicle one, collected and distributed 
by A. O. Garrett, [received in December 1904] consists of exsic- 
cata with reprints of the original description for each species 
accompanied by the following announcement: “It is the inten¬ 
tion to issue Fungi Utahensis in uniform sets of twenty-five 
specimens to the set, the fascicles to be distributed to subscribers 
as rapidly as material is acquired. An attempt will be made to 
have each fascicle contain specimens belonging to closely related 
groups. As will be seen from the accompanying list, all the 
numbers in this fascicle are representatives of the Uredineae. 
The plan pursued in the “make-up” of the sets will be similar 
to that of Professor Kellerman’s Ohio Fungi.” 
The First Part of the First Volume of the Biograph¬ 
ical Index of North American Fungi, by William G. Farlow, 
has been issued by the Carnegie Institution at Washington (1905), 
consisting of a preface (pp. I-IX), abbreviations of authors and 
publications cited (XI-XXIV), and the Index from Abrothallus 
to Badhamia (pp. 1-312). The author says it should be borne 
in mind that the Index does not purport to be a summary of all 
references to North American fungi, but it is limited to those 
which concern the systematic Mycologist, and does not include 
references to papers on fungicides and other technical and agri¬ 
cultural subjects as such, but cites them only when they also 
contain notes of interest to the systematists. The importance 
of the work is at once recognized and doubtless the remaining 
parts and volumes will soon appear. A sample will show the 
plan Dr. Farlow has adopted in carrying out his Index:
