attention of mycologists; on the chance that it may have escaped 
notice I am appending it. 
Saccardo in his “ Sylloge fungorum,” v. 2, p. 352, cites as 
synonyms of Ophiobolus herpotrichus 
Rhaph. herpotriche (Fr.) Fuck. Symb. Myc. p. 125. 
RhapJi. lacroixii Mont. Syll. Crypt. 11. 895. 
In the “ Synonymia” (v. 15 of the “ Sylloge,” p. 320) the spe¬ 
cies are given as Rhaphidophora herpotricha and R. lacroixii: 
In both cases the name used by Fuckel and Montagne is Rha- 
phidospora and not Rhaphidophora. This error should also 
be corrected in the Index to the “Sylloge” (v. 12, p, 663) : 
Rhaphidophora Fr. et Mont. should read Rhaphidospora Fr. 
et Mont. 
It might also be well to call attention to the fact that the 
abbreviation “Car. et de Not.” which occurs in a number of 
places, especially under Ophiobolus in v. 2 and in v. 15, p. 320, 
under Rhaphidophora, should read “ Ces. et de Not.”
