Oct. Ib 02 ] Notes from Mycological Literature 
the fallen leaves, or that the mycelium in these gave rise to a 
new crop for spring infection.” Details need not be here tran¬ 
scribed relative to the Injury, Prevention, Time of appearance, 
Artificial cultures, and Microscopic structures. Under the head 
of Nomenclature it is pointed out that the earliest name given 
the scab stage (fructigenous form) was Spilocaea pomi Fries, 
Nov. FI. Suec. 5:79. 1819. Eleven different names were subse¬ 
quently used by various authors. ‘Tn 1833 Wallroth unques¬ 
tionably found the leaf form and named it Cladosporium dendri- 
ticum.” Cooke in 1866 (Seem. Jour. Bot.) described the apple- 
leaf Venturia as a new species, namely Sphaerella inaequalis. 
Mr. Clinton therefore follows Aderhold and sanctions the name 
Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Winter. It seems to us on the con¬ 
trary that the evidence is ample to justify the name Venturia 
pomi (Fries.). Half-tones and outline drawings, 18 pages, are 
used in illustrating this thorough and commendable Bulletin. 
Still another important portion should be mentioned, namely, 
the Bibliography; this covers 12 pages and includes about 170 
items. 
Three New Genera of tpie Higher Fungi, by Professor 
Atkinson, are described, each with one species only, in the July 
No. of the Botanical Gazette (34:36-43, 1902). Three half-tones 
of outline drawings illustrate these three interesting forms. 
Eomycenella, a new genus of Hymenomycetes, is based on speci¬ 
mens found on fallen leaves of Rhododendron, in September 1899. 
They are very small, 3-8 mm. high, pileus 0.5-0.75 mm. broad, 
stem slender and fleshy, very delicate, entirely white, the hyme- 
nium plane or in large forms with a few short, narrow, distant 
lamellae, not reaching the stipe. Eoterfezia, the type of a new 
genus and family of Elaphomycetes, is based on specimens that 
appeared as a parasite on Sordaria grown in the laboratory in 
1897 on cow dung. There appeared on the perithecia of Sordaria 
white, knot-like protuberances, subglobose or kidney-shaped, 
nearly the entire interior of the body being occupied by minute 
asci scattered and intermingled with the mycelium. The Dicty- 
bole, a new genus of Phalloids, is based upon specimens collected 
m sandy soil in Texas in 1901, having a dimorphic gleba, the 
upper part traversed by sterile, radiating, imbricate plates, the 
lower part latticed something after the fashion of Simblum. The 
upper part of the volva remains adherent to the pileus, rupturing 
in a circumscissile manner, often leaving the pileus more or less 
irregularly lobed and pendent around the upper part of the re¬ 
ceptacle. 
Dr. J. C. Arthur summarizes Eriksson’s paper on the 
Rusts of cereals, published in the first two issues of the Annales 
des Sciences Naturelles for 1902, in an admirable manner, in 
the Tuly No. of the Botanical Gazette under Notes for Students.
