ciete Mycologique de France, tome XXII, 2er Fascicule, 15 May 
1906. The new species H. stellata was found on the inferior face 
of a crust of Aspergillus repens. The diagnosis of the genus 
is as follows: Hemispora n. g. — Mycelium de Mucidinee-Ma- 
cronemee abondant, hyalin, fin, cloisonne, ramifie, Tubes fertiles, 
ramifies a la base. Chaque rameau conidiophore se termine par 
une vesicule (protoconidie) precedee d’un etranglement annu- 
laire a paroi epaissie, brune, rigide. La vesicule se transforme, en 
tout ou en partie, en une serie de segments sporiformes (deutero- 
conidies). Parfois elle s’allonge en un nouveau conidiophore ou 
emet des ramifications susceptibles de se comporter de meme. 
A part of the Botrytideae is included in the 95th Liefer- 
ung of Rabenhorst’s Kryptogamen-Flora, VIII Abt., Pilze, G. 
Lindau, issued 3 April 1905. The genera are numerous — Ovu- 
laria perhaps being the largest, having 50 or more species. 
In Notae Mycologicae, Auctore P. A. Saccardo, Annales 
Mycologici, 4:273-8, Juni 1906, three new genera and many new 
species are described. The new genus Endothiella represents the 
pycnidium of Endothia; Endothiella gyrosa n. sp. is the type. 
Muchmoria represents a new genus Dematiacearum, the new 
species (M. portoricensis) occurs in rimis corticis arboris emor- 
tuae indet. pr. Signal Tower Hill, Ponce, Porto Rico (Rev. L. J. 
Muchmore). Fairmania belongs to the Sphaeroidaceae—“prae- 
cipue forma peculiari sporulae, soleae calcaneum exacte orni- 
tantis, ab Epithyrio subgenere Coniothyrii dignoscitur. 
In Lieferungen 96 (Rabenhorst's Kryptogamen-Flora, 
Pilze, G. Lindau, issued 10 May 1905), the Botrytideae are fin¬ 
ished. There are enumerated between four and five dozen species 
of Botrytis. These are arranged under the sub-genera Eubotry- 
tis, Polyactis, Phymatotrichum and Cristatella. 
Hedwigia, Band XLV, Heft 3, 28 March 1906, contains 
two articles to be listed here, namely: Theodor Brandt, Beitrage 
zur Anatomischen Kenntnis der Flechtengattung Ramalina; and 
P. Magnus, Uropyxis rickiana P. Magn. und die von ihr hervor- 
gebrachte Krebsgeschwulst. 
P. Magnus gives an extended account of Uropyxis 
rickiana n. sp. und die von ihr hervorgebrachte Krebsge¬ 
schwulst, Hedwigia 45:173-177, PI. IX, 28 Mar. 1906. The 
species was found in Brazil by Prof. J. Rick on some Bignonia- 
ceae. “Die Gattung Uropyxis ist bisher in verhaltnismassig wen- 
igen Arten bekannt. . . . Mit Ausnahme der afrikanischen Uro¬ 
pyxis Steudneri P. Magn. und der asiatischen Ur. Fraxini 
(Kom.) P. Magn. stammen sie alle aus Amerika und treten dort 
zwei Gruppen von Uropxis-Arten auf Leguminoseen und auf 
Berberis auf. Zu ihnen tritt nun als dritte amerikanische Gruppe 
Uropyxis rickiana P. Magn. auf einer Bignoniaceae, und sicher
