Arthur, J. C. 
J. C. Arthur's Cultures of Uredineae in 1904, see Jour¬ 
nal of Mycology, March 1905, involved 264 sowings of spores 
representing 40 species of rusts for which purpose were required 
119 species of hosts temporarily grown in pots in the greenhouse. 
A new description of Melampsora bigelowii Thiim. is furnished 
— this rust occurring on Salix amygdaloides Anderss. and many 
other species of Salix throughout the United States and Canada. 
A description of Aecidium clematitis Schw. is given, also of Puc- 
cinia stipae Arth., for which heretofore the aecidium had not 
been characterized (on Aster multiflorus Ait., A. ericoides L. & 
A. novae-angliae L). The summary gives a list of the success¬ 
ful cultures, 16 species previously reported and 5 reported now 
for the first time. The latter are quoted: “I. Melampsora bige¬ 
lowii Thuem. — Teleutospores on Salix amygdaloides Anders, 
sown on Larix decidua Mill.; 2. Puccinia tomipara Trel. — 
Teleutospores on Bromus ciliatus L. sown on Clematis Virginiana 
L.; 3. Puccinia stipae Arth. — Teleutospores on Stipa spartea 
Trin. sown on Aster multiflorus Ait., A. ericoides L., and A. 
Novae-An gliae L.; 4. Puccinia sorghi Schw. — Aecidiospores 
on Oxalis cymosa Small sown on Zea Mays L.; 5. Puccinia 
podophylli Schw. — Aecidiospores on Podophyllum peltatum L. 
sown on same host.”

The First Supplement to New Genera of Fungi Pub¬ 
lished Since the Year 1900, with Citation and Original Descrip¬ 
tions, compiled by W. A. Kellerman and P. L. Ricker, gives the 
citation and reproduces the descriptions of nearly 100 genera 
most of which were published in 1904. The alphabetical arrange-
