“ Kryptogamen Flora voisr Deutschland, Oesterreich und der 
Schweiz. PiLZE.” 23 Liefening. Pyrenomycetes {Sphceriacem). Von 
Dr. G. Winter. 
This part includes pp. 593-656 of Vol. II. Besides the diagnoses and 
illustrative figures of Diaporthe, Mamiana^ Valsa, Anthostoma, Phynchos- 
toma and Kalmusia^ it includes descriptions of 105 species of Diaportlie^ 
and more to follow, as this is one of the largest genera of the Pyrenomy- 
cetes. This, like the preceding, is heartily welcomed on account of its 
high character and of its value to American mycologists.

•‘Saccardo’s Sylloge, Vol. IV,” is now published. It is devoted to 
the Hyphomycetes, and will prove a valuable aid to those engaged in 
the study of these perplexing productions. The principle of classifi¬ 
cation is the same as in the preceding volumes, and in its application 
here, as in Vol. Ill, is, perhaps, as satisfactory as any that can be 
devised. Three thousand five hundred and eighty-three species are 
enumerated, included in 113 genera. The next volume, which will 
be devoted to the Hymenomycetes, is expected to be ready about the 
end of this year. Copious additions to Vols. I-IV are also being 
made. E. 
“ Linhart’s Hungarian Fungi.” Of this valuable collection, five 
centuries have now been issued. The specimens are mostly satis¬ 
factory, and eighty-nine of the species are illustrated by good en¬ 
gravings. The collection is in book form (unbound), and, for a work 
so carefully prepared, the price, 12 marks per century, is very 
cheap. E.
