One New Species

Ten species of the genus Crepidotus are described from Hawaii. They are Crepidotus alabamensis, C. amygdalosporus, C. appalachianensis, C. applanatus var. globigera, C. avellaneus, C. citrinus, C. mollis, C. nephrodes, and C. rhizomorphus. One new species, C. bakerae, is proposed. Keys and distinctive characters of each species are provided. It is suggested that most of the species came from the North American continent.

Five new species of Thecaphora collected in Mexico are described, some of which are parasitic on genera of Compositae not previously reported as hosts. Species of Thecaphora on Compositae for the North American continent now total 11. New species include Thecaphora denticulata, T. heliopsidis, T. hennenea, T. melampodii, and T. neo-mexicana. New host genera for North America include Bidens, Heliopsis, and Melampodium. Morphological characteristics of Thecaphora species and taxonomic criteria to delimit them are discussed. Keys to the species, interpretations of spore ball morphology and spore sculpturing, and scanning electron and bright-field micrographs are presented.

Austrian Minister

On September 26, 1786, Don Francisco de Miranda, adventurer and patriot, secured a passport from the Austrian Minister in Constantinople which enabled him to continue his “grand tour” to Russia. The nature of Miranda’s subsequent visit, and the extent to which his reception at the court of Catherine II influenced Spanish and Russian policy, assumes significance in the light of events on the North American continent immediately preceding and during his stay in Russia.

Early Phases

During the Viking period, Norse seafarers from Greenland attempted to plant a settlement on the North American continent. This Vinland settlement faltered in its early phases and was not successful. Its failure may be best understood from the broader perspective of the Scandinavian expansion across the North Atlantic islands which began ca. AD 800. Adaptive shifts in the older North Atlantic colonies, geographical factors, and the resistance of Native Americans may have combined to doom this Western-most medieval colony.
