An Index of the Mycological Writings of C. G. Lloyd, Vol. 
I, 1898-1905, [May 1905], Cincinnati, Ohio, U. S. A., is a 
pamphlet of 20 pages. Mr. Lloyd states: I have been working 
on the Gastromycetes for four or five years and have published 
the results as they appealed to me. This is an Index of the 
publications as far as the work has gone. As it is designated as 
Vol. I, “The intention is evident that others are expected to 
follow.” 
G. K. Merrill in Lichen Notes No. 2, see Bryologist for 
January 1906, refers (1) to the recent finding of Umbilicaria 
pustulata papulosa on a lower limb of a young spruce — very re¬ 
markable since the genus Umbilicaria is typically saxicoline; 
and (2) to the finding by Mrs. Agnes Ashworth, Central Point, 
Oregon, inmixed with Evernia vulpina; Mr. Merrill designates 
it Cetraria islandica (L) Ach. M. [modification] arborialis (con¬ 
ditional nomination). 
New Species of Edible Philippine Fungi by Edwin Bing¬ 
ham Copeland, No. 28, July, 1905, Department of the Interior, 
Bureau of Government Laboratories, is a paper with English 
descriptions of several new species of Agarics and a Lycoperdon, 
these being translations of the Latin descriptions of the species as 
published in Annales Mycologici, Vol. 3, No. 1. Two species 
are illustrated by half-tones. The Basidiomycete flora of that 
country is said to be a very rich one in species if not in indi¬ 
viduals. 
In Malpighia Anno. XVIII. Fasc. X-XII, 1904, we find the

Contributo alia Flora Micologica della Provincia di Napoli — a

Alnus japonica S. et Z.; by S. Kusano, in the Botanical Maga¬

Ernest S. Salmon reports on the present aspect of the Epi¬ 
demic of the American Gooseberry-Mildew in Europe in the 
Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, Vol. XXIX, parts 1, 
2 and 3, 1905. This [Sphaerotheca mors-uvae (Schw.) B. & 
C.] was recorded from Ireland in 1900; now it is reported from 
nine localities in six countries: From Russia it is reported from 
ten widely separated districts. The writer calls attention to the
