canadensis among galls caused by nematodes. 
Pleurotus Hollandianus sp. nov. by D. R. Sumstine is 
diagnosed in Latin, in the March (1906) No. of the Journal of 
Mycology. It is P. petaloidei affnis sed forma tomento pilei, 
latitudine lamellarum differt; collected on rotten trunks, La-

Rust notes for 1905, ry J. M. Bates, Journal of Mycology, 
March 1906. Records of cultures are given — April 6, Puccinia 
subnitens on Monolepis nuttalliana (some ripe aecidia noticed on 
May 12 but more on accompanying Roripa sinuata and Bursa 
bursa-pastoris) ; cultures also made on Sophia incisa — Lepidi- 
um apetalum also a good host. Culture of Puccinia amphigena 
on Smilax hispida — the latter covered with aecidia June 10. 
An Oenothera biennis with ripe aecidia covering the under side 
(hence not Aec. Peckii) associated with Carex pennsylvanica 
with uredo; elsewhere same was secured also III “which looks 
like a pale weak uredo” — pointing toward genetic connection 
and a new species.

The Tylostomeae by C. G. Lloyd, Cincinnati, Ohio, U. S. 
A., February 1906, pp. 1-28, Plates 74-85. Descriptions and 
abundance of figures (half tones). As treated they embrace all 
Gastromycetes with dry spores, having peridia borne on distinct 
stalks that are not prolonged as axes. As thus defined [the au¬ 
thor continues] it is a very natural tribe of Pufifballs,” differing 
from the Podaxineae which also have the peridia borne on stalks 
which, however, are continuous as axes of the gleba to the apices 
of the peridia. The genera he arranges as follows: 
Peridium without definite mouth, 
Volva none.Oueletia. 
Volva thick, permanent .Dictyocephalos. 
Volva not permanent.Schizostoma.
