Durand, Elias J. 
Elias J. Durand gives in the Jan. No. of the Journal 
of Mycology (1906) his conclusions from an extended study of 
Peziza fusicarpa Ger. and Peziza semitosta B. & C. He says 
these observations are based on about 50 separate collections, be¬ 
sides numerous ungathered plants in the field. He says: “My 
conclusions based upon a study of the material indicated may 
be stated briefly as follows: Peziza fusicarpa. Ger. (1873), P. 
pubida B. & C. (1875), and P. morgani Mass. (1902) are spe¬ 
cifically identical and synonymous; P. semitosta B. & C., while 
closely allied to P. pubida B. & C., is not identical with it, but is 
specifically distinct; P. hainesii Ell. (1881) is identical with P. 
semitosta B. & C. (1875), as recently stated by Ellis himself.

Uredinous Culture Experiments with Puccinia sorghi, 
1905, W. A. Kellerman, Journal of Mycology, Jan. 1906, notes 
experiments in April and May 1905, using teleutospores from 
sweet corn and obtaining Aecidia on Oxalis. An outline of pre¬ 
vious work with this Rust is given, — inoculation of the maize 
plant with material from teleutosporic pustules then was prob¬ 
ably due to the fact that a few uredospores viable were harbored 
by these sori. “Doubtless then the Rust of Maize is carried over 
from year to year in part by means of surviving uredospores.
