Eight species of Amanita collected in Nova Scotia are compared macroscopically and microscopically with previously published descriptions and some new data are given. Of these eight, five species and one variety are recorded from the province for the first time, and two (Amanita macrospora and A. solaniolens) are described as new species.

This paper considers 12 Hygrophorus species collected in Nova Scotia during 1967–68, stressing differences from previously published descriptions and presenting additional data. Of these, 10 are first records for the province. Four of the 10 are being reported for the first time in Canada, and 2 have been previously collected in Nova Scotia but referred to other species. One species, although previously recorded, is included because of significant differences from earlier accounts. One new species, H. murinus, is described.

In the Proceedings and Transactions of the Nova Scotian Institute of Natural Science (1868-9, p. 78-87), I have given a list of some specimens of Nova Scotian Lepidoptera, sent me for determination by the esteemed President of the Institute, J. Matthew Jones, Esq., of Halifax. Among these was included a new species of Anarta, the description of which I reprint here, as many of those interested in this department of Entomology may not have access to the original publication.

This brief paper considers five species of Hygrophorus collected in Kings Co., Nova Scotia, during 1972–1973. One variety is described as new, and three species are reported for the first time from the Maritime Provinces. Three of the five species included are not adequately described or illustrated in previous publications.

The guts of non-predaceous invertebrates in aquatic and moist terrestrial habitats are often colonized by an ecological group of microorganisms called trichomycetes. Taxonomically, these endobionts are currently a diverse, polyphyletic assemblage including both zygomycetous fungi as well as protistan species. Trichomycetes are worldwide in distribution and are from varied habitats, but the species inventory of gut fungi from hosts in Canada is far from complete. We summarize the findings from our earliest surveys (from 1997 to 2005) and collections of candidate dipteran hosts in Nova Scotia. Nine new species of gut fungi are added to the inventory list, including the following seven Smittium spp.: Smittium aggregatum, Smittium gronthidium, Smittium papillum, Smittium pavocaudatum, Smittium radiculans, Smittium sparsum, and Smittium verticillatum, and the following two Stachylina spp.: Stachylina brevicellaris and Stachylina subgrandis. Four of the other 13 Harpellales, Pennella digitata, Smittium megazygosporum, Stachylina penetralis, and Zancudomyces culisetae are reported for the first time in Atlantic Canada. Also recorded is Paramoebidium curvum, with many more specimens of this genus from various locations and hosts included as Paramoebidium spp. only. We suggest that future collections of Diptera, to further document and discover trichomycetes, are warranted across the varied host habitats that abound not only in eastern Canada but the rest of the country as well.

Recent studies in the mycological herbarium at Acadia University confirm previous reports and present additional data on the family Geoglossaceae occurring in Nova Scotia. This paper presents a key and detailed drawings of anatomical structures of 26 species in several genera of this family found in Nova Scotia, It is shown that one species name is being applied to species that are in different genera. One new species, Microglossum olivaceisquamulosum is described.

Eight Silurian gastropod species are described from the Arisaig Group of Nova Scotia and equivalent strata in Britain. Mimospira, Haplospira, and Brachytomaria are recorded from the Silurian for the first time. The following new species are described: Pharetrolites bambachi, Mimospira abbae, Haplospira sibeliuxeni, Naticonema kauffmani, Cyclonema (C.) lydiamariarum, Naticopsis trevorpatriciorum, Morania (?) boltoni.

Over 90% of 829 banded killifish from three Nova Scotian locations were infected with at least one parasitic species. Protozoans, monogeneans, digeneans, cestodes, nematodes, acanthocephalans, and a crustacean and a molluscan species occurred in the fish. All species recovered are reported for the first time from Fundulus diaphanus in Nova Scotia and 12 are new host records. Five of the non-digenean larval genera found were probably accidental parasites.

As a result of study of 18 samples, collected in Lake Teletskoye and inflowing rivers in 1992–1995, 34 diatom species of the genus Navicula Bory were found. Among them 21 taxa are new for the studied region, 7 species (Navicula arkona, N. hangaica, N. cf. pseudoreinhardtii, N. ricardae, N. scaniae, N. schweigeri, N. suecicarum) are recorded for the first time in Russia. One new species (N. pseudoharmoniae sp. nov.) is described. It is compared with N. harmoniae and N. digitoconvergens.

Euastrum lacustre is reported for Russia for the first time. This alcaliphilic species was found in the periphyton and plankton of three lakes in the Kursk Region (European Russia). A description of morphology, including the relief of cell wall, and habitats where this taxon is found are represented. LM and SEM microphotographs are provided. Morphological differences of E. lacustre from similar species are discussed. New species for region, namely Closterium aciculare, Cosmarium formosulum, C. granatum, C. pseudoinsigne, C. reniforme and Staurastrum pingue, are found in the samples together with E. lacustre.
