Vuillemin, P. 
The “Recherches sur les Champignons parasites de feuilles 
de Tilleul” (Cercospora, Phyllosticta, Helminthosporium) par le 
Prof. P. Vuillemin, in Annales Mycologici, October 1905, notes a 
number of species which attack the Lindens. Cercospora micro- 
sora Sacc. (C. tiliae Peck) and Helminthosporium tiliae Fries 
are more fully discussed and text figures are given. Also a new 
species, from France is discussed: Phyllosticta bacteroides Vuill. 
n. sp. on living leaves of Tilia silvestris associated with Cerco¬ 
spora microsora. 
Sumstine, D. R. 
“Another Fly Agaric” is the title of a note by D. R. Sum¬ 
stine in the November No. of the Journal of Mycology, 1905. 
The author states that flies which had remained on plants of 
Amanita olitaria Bull, for a short time fell over dead. “After 
two hours the box was again examined, but the flies which once 
were dead were now alive and had departed with no more serious 
results possibly than a severe headache from their mycological 
‘booze.’ ” 
Dietel, P. 
In P. Dietel’s “Beschreibungen einiger neuer Uredineen,” 
total fourteen species, we find the following pertaining to North 
America: Puccinia caricis-polystachyae Diet. n. sp. on Carex 
polystachva Wahl., Mexico, and P. solidaginis-mollis Diet. n. 
sp. on leaves of Solidago mollis Bartl., Utah. 
Rick. 
Rick, Fungi austro-americani Fasc. Ill u IV. 43-80.” An¬ 
nales Mycologici, August. 1906. New species are: Nectria fol- 
lax Rick n. sp.; Erinella subcervina Bres. n. sp.; Rosellinia 
rickii Bres. n. sp.; Chlorosplenium atroviride Bres. n. sp.; Lem- 
bosia pachyasca Bres. n. sp. 
Fairman, Charles E. 
The “Pyrenomycetae novae in leguminibus Robiniae” by 
Charles E. Fairman, includes descriptions of the following new 
species : Leptosphaeria lyndonville; L. eustoma f. leguminosa; 
Metasphaeria lyndonvillae; M. leguminosa; and Pleospora au- 
reliana. 
Maire, Rene. 
The interesting article by Rene Maire in the August No. of 
Annales Mycologi, 1906, entitled “Notes Mycologique,” deals 
with about a dozen species. One that should be noted here per¬ 
haps is the parasite of Lactarius deliciosus given in Saccardo’s 
Sylloge as Hypomyces deformans, but is Peckiella lateritia (Fr.)
