cases of importation. He calls attention to the fact that Sphaer- 
otheca tomentosa (Otth.) Jacz.—of which Erysiphe gigantasca 
Sorok., reported on Euphorbia virgata from Moskow, is a 
synonym — is somewhat different from Sphaerotheca mors-uvae 
(Schw.) with which Salmon in his Monograph of the Erysi- 
phaceae, unites it. Magnus is therefore of the opinion that the 
form on Euphorbia is really a different species, saying more¬ 
over “bei der verschiedenen geographischen Verbeitung beider 
Formen zweifle ich nicht, dass sie zwei verschiedenen Arten ent- 
sprechen.” 
Professor P. Hennings has published in Hedwigia, March, 
1902, under the title, “Fungi blumenavienses II, a cl. Alfr. 
Moller lecti,” an article of 33 pages, containing an enumeration 
of the Ascomycetes from Blumenau (South Brazil) obtained 
in 1891-3. Some of the species had been previously reported, 
but are also included in this article. They are all grouped in 
proper systematic order under Pyrenomycetes and Discomycetes, 
8 families of the former and 12 of the latter. The new genera 
proposed are Aschersoniopsis (Hypocreaceae), Moelleroclavus 
(Xylariaceae), Stilbohypoxylon (Xylariaceae), Midotiopsis (Der- 
mateaceae), Bulgariopsis (Bulgariaceae), and Moellerodiscus 
(Cudoniaceae). Seventy-two new species are described, the diag¬ 
noses in Latin. 
OHIO FUNGI EXSICCATI. 
The fifth fascicle of the Ohio Fungi is today issued. It 
completes a century — the fascicles averaging 20 specimens. The 
100 specimens belong to the following genera : Aecidium (8 sp.), 
Albugo (1 sp.), Cercospora (2 sp.), Cintractia (2 sp.), Exoascus 
(1 sp.), Gymnoconia (1 sp.), Gymnosporangium (2 sp.), Me- 
lampsora (2 sp.), Microsphaera (1 sp.), Peronospora (1 sp.), 
Piggotia (1 sp.), Phyllachora (2 sp.), Phyllosticta (3 sp.), Plas- 
mopara (1 sp.), Polystictus (1 sp.), Puccinia (25 sp.), Rhytisma 
(1 sp.), Septoria (6 sp.), Urocystis (2 sp.), Uromyces (8 sp.), 
Ustilago (4 sp.), Venturia (1 sp.). Although instituted for the 
purpose of exchange with botanists many requests for the pur¬ 
chase of the specimens suggested at once the enlargement of 
the edition; now all can be accommodated who may wish the fas¬ 
cicles as they are issued. The price fixed, intended to cover 
but part of the actual cost, is $5.00 for each five fascicles (100 
specimens). Four or five fascicles will probably appear during 
the coming year, the labels as heretofore having a reprint of the 
original description of the species.
