OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY American Board of Ophthalmology JOHN GREEN, M.D. 3720 WASHINGTON BOULEVARD ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI MISS LEA M. STELZER, Registrar 6830 Waterman Ave. St. Louis, Missouri August 18, 1938. Dear Doctor: The American Board of Ophthalmology will hold an examination at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, 218 Second Ave., New York City, Friday, October 7th, at 8:00 A.M. Kindly register promptly at 8:00 A.M. with the Registrar. Your examination will cover the following subjects: External Diseases -Slit Lamp Ophthalmoscopy Histology and Pathology Anatomy and Embryology Refraction-Retinoscopy Muscles-Motility Perimetry General Diseases-Neurology Therapeutics - Operations Practical Surgery Optics and Visual Physiology The examination will occupy the entire day and unfinished subjects may require completion in Washington on Saturday or Sunday.

In Refraction candidates will be required to show a thorough understanding of the technique of the fogging method, of the use of astigmatic dials in measuring astigmatism, and of the cross-cylinder tests for strength and axis of astigmatism. A set of microscopic slides illustrating phases of ophthalmic histology and pathology can be obtained through this office upon deposit of $25.00 which will be refunded upon return of the slides in good condition. For 1939, the Board announces an examination in St. Louis in the Spring at the time of the meeting of the American Medical Association, and also at the place of the meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Oto-Laryngology, usually in October. Kindly fill in attached card and mail to me at once regardless of previous arrangement or correspondence.

Argopsis 2 while his figure of the crossection of a cephalodium suggests the cerebriform type. Zhalbruckner tried to reconcile the literature without a critical study of material of either species, resulting in misstatements such as citing A. megalospora from Kerguelen rather than from Campbell Island and stating that the eight small spores coalesce to form a degenerate brown mass. Fortunately the type of Stereocaulon Argus Tav.l. and a duplicate of the type collection of S. cymosum Crombie are present and fruiting in the Taylor Herbarium at the Boston Society of Natural History. The former specimen agrees with Th. Fries' description of Argopsis, the second with the description of A. Friesiana Müll. Arg. Both are similar in podetial characters and cephalodia to Stereocaulon ramulosum. S.Argus has a hyaline paratheciun and hypothecium, asci apparently not more than 2-spored, of which one early degenerates, leaving a single large muriform spore very similar to those of Lopadium, remaining hyaline until late, then becoming slightly yellowish brown, not the deep brown muriform spore of Rhizocarpon. S. cymosum has a brownish paratheciun (not carbonaceous in the apothecium sectioned), asci 4-8- spored; ascospores with three transverse septa and an occasional longi- tudinal or oblique septum, producing a few-celled muriform spore simi- lar to those in Collema sect. Blennthallia. Were it not for the ex- treme form of S.Argus, there is little to distinguish S.cymosum from from Stereocaulon where the sterile material was referred. Until more information is available, it is largely a matter of individual opinion whether the generic limits should be circumscribed to include only S.Argus or enlarged to include S. cymosum. I have adopted the latter course. Both species seem to be endemic to small areas, but it is possible that they have been referred to some variety of S. ramulosum

Argopsis 3 without microscopic examination in other herbaria. Argopsis Argus (Hook. f. & Tayl.) Dodge, comb. nov. Stereocaulon Argus Hook. f. & Tayl., London Jour. Bot. 3:653. 1844; Cryptog. Antarct. 84. 1845; Fl. Antarct. : . 184 Argopsis megalospora Th. Fr., Nova Acta R. Soc. Sci. Upsal. III. 2:325. 1858. Type: Campbell Island, on rocks on mountains, J. D. Hooker (Voy. Erebus & Terror in Taylor Herb. at Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. Type of A. megalospora based on a duplicate of this collection in Upsala. The sheet marked "Stereocaulon Argus Tavl." contains four plants glued to the sheet. When they were studied by Müller Argau in 1887, he letter- ed the plants "a" and "b" and annotated the sheet: a. Argopsis megalo- spora Th. Fr.; b. Stereocaulon ramulosum v. macrocarpum Bab. Nyl. The following description is based on the two individuals marked a by Müller Argau. The confusion is not surprising as the specimens resemble each other very closely in macroscopic characters, having the same type of branching and phyllocladia. The primary branches of Argop- sis are somewhat flattened, the cephalodia are much less conspicuous and darker in colour, the exciple is verrucose and the disc tends to remain flatter: all characters which would have been considered trivial in Taylor's time. Taylor, however, mentions all these characters in his description although all his specimens do not show them. Thallus 4-5 cm. tall, branching near the base, closely dichotomous, appearing sympodial, base 2.5 mm in diameter, somewhat flattened and obscurely striate sulcate longitudinally; decorticate, smooth, secondary branches more terete, verrucose, the verrucae passing into short, terete obtuse phyllocladia, cortex dull and peeling off, leaving a slightly tomentose surface; cephalodia not abundant, small, cerebriform, of the Stereocaulon ramulosum type.
