OF AMERICA<br />
TO: Members <strong>of</strong> the Mgcologica.1 <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong><br />
We hope this year to see many <strong>of</strong> you at the Annual<br />
Meeting <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Society</strong> in Minneapolis. We will commemorate<br />
not only the Silver Anniversary <strong>of</strong> the <strong>America</strong>n Institute<br />
<strong>of</strong> Biol<strong>of</strong>?ical Sciences, but also %he be~inning <strong>of</strong> the fifth<br />
decade <strong>of</strong> the \!geological <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong>. Our <strong>Society</strong><br />
can be only as strong as the input <strong>of</strong> its members, and<br />
participation in the annual meetinqs is one way to<br />
accomplish this.<br />
Ps a personal note, I take this opportunity to thank<br />
you for the honor <strong>of</strong> serving as your President this year.<br />
It has been also pleasurable because <strong>of</strong> my association with<br />
the many mycolorists who have worked this year for the<br />
<strong>Society</strong>. My special thanks go to Dr. Alma Barksdale, our<br />
Secre targ-Treasurer, who has kept the <strong>Society</strong>'s affairs<br />
running smoothly end efficiently.<br />

6. NEW LIST OF CULTURES FROM C. B.S.:<br />
A new "List <strong>of</strong> Cultures1!, comprising 18, 000 strains <strong>of</strong> fungi (including 3, 000 yeasts) will<br />
be published in September 1972. By supplying cultures and carrying out identifications the CBS<br />
renders an international service to all those interested in fungi. A staff <strong>of</strong> 15 mycologists,<br />
specialized in the diverse groups <strong>of</strong> fungi, are employed in the identification service. The fees<br />
for cultures and identifications are uniform. Cultures for scientific institutions: 25. (about<br />
$8. ). Cultures for industrial purposes: 60. (about $20. ). The price <strong>of</strong> the new List <strong>of</strong><br />
Cultures will be 15. ($5. ), including seamail. Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures<br />
