Cooke has described Puccinia Ipomaeae as having an aecidium- 
stage on Ipomaea pes Caprae, but the authors think, that lt is 
Albugo Ipomaeae-pandurae (Schw.) Swingle, which Cooke has 
wrongly thought to belong to this fungus; hence it must be consi- 
dered a mistake, that H. and P. Sydow (in Monograph. Ured. 
I. Puccinia. p. 324) state P. Ipomaeae Cke. (sensu autoris) as syno- 
nymous with P. Ipomaeae-panduranae Syd. in spite of the hetero- 
geneity of the first named species. Nor do the authors agree with 
Mr. Sydows opinion of Uredo Lilloi Speg.; Spegazzini’s description 
is quite in conformit}^ with the specimens of the Uredo of Puccinia 
appendiculata Wt., examined by the authors, hence Uredo Lilloi must 
be transferred to this species and not to Puccinia elegans Schroet., 
Puccinia Leonotidicola, which P. Hennings has described from Afri- 
ca is here for the first time mentioned from America. Of Rosse- 
linia subiculata (Schwein.) Sacc., Xylaria subtrachinella P. Henn. and 
Pucciniopsis Caricae Earle, which have hitherto been incompletely 
described, the authors were able to give a more detailed diagnosis. 
As both a Sphaerostilbe hypocreoides Kalchbr. & Cke and a Sphae- 
rostilbe hypocreoides P. Henn. existed, the latter is renamed Sphae¬ 
rostilbe Henningsii Ferd. & Wge. 
And as a Hypoxylon areolatum B. & C. and a species Hypoxylon 
areolatum Starb, existed, the latter is renamed Hypoxylon Starbaeckii 
Ferd. & Wge. 
19 new species are described (in Latin) viz.: 
Puccinia Raunkjaerii, in foliis, caulibus, petiolisque Rivinae humilis\ 
Aecidium Rivinae belongs to this species; Asterina Coccolobae, ad 
folium vivum Coccolobae uvijerae; Nectria ( Lepidonectria) grammi- 
cospora, ad ramum corticatum; Nectria ( Lasionectria) setosa, ad 
vaginas siccas putridasque Musae sp.; Sphaerostilbe intermedia, ad 
corticem arborum; Hypoxylon ( Placoxylon) St. Janianum; Nummu- 
laria cincta, ad ramos corticatos; Nummidaria dura , ad lignum cor¬ 
ticatum; Rosselinia metachroa, ad lignum corticatum vel nudum; 
Rosselinia St. Cruciana, ad petiolum siccum Cocoes nuciferae; Xylaria 
(. Xyloglossa ) appendiculata, ad folia sicca Crescentiae cucurbitinae (.?), 
Xylaria ( Xyloglossa ) lignosa, ad truncos; Xylaria ( Xyloglossa ) sessilis, 
ad ramulum corticatum; Phyllachora conspicua, ad folia viva Jacqui- 
niae armillaris; Melophia Eugeniae, ad folia viva Eugeniae sp.; 
Pseudodiplodia Xylariae, ad clavulas Xylariae sp.; Chromosporium 
formicarum , was found in a brittled trunk, occupied by ants, the 
ant-nests showed fungus-cultures on the walls of the walks, while 
the antwalks in the wood were covered all over with a brown- 
yellow layer of conidia; Cromosporium pachyderma, ad lignum decor- 
ticatum; Heterosporium repandum, ad ramulos siccos. 
2 plates with very fine and ’instructive figures illustrate all the 
new species. ’ I. Lind (Copenhagen).

France. XXIV. p. 169—171. fig. texte. 1908.) 
D’apres des eehantillons provenant du Jura, la description de 
Rostrup se rapporte ä un etat de maturite imparfaite. Les stylo- 
spores s’allongent presque du double, prennent 2—3 cloisons et les 
peritheces deviennent plus saillants. P. Vuillemin.
