Abstract
The well-known periodical Annales Mycologici, beginning in 1903, ended with its forty-second volume. The premises of the publisher were destroyed in an air attack in April 1945, and H. Sydow, the editor and founder of the journal, died in the following year. Dr. F. Petrak, the eminent mycologist of the Vienna Museum, has decided to re-start the journal with the title Sydowia. It will retain its international character and will appear twice a year, each number containing 12–15 sheets. The first number is to be published this year and will include some papers by Petrak which were contained in Nos. 3–6 of Vol. 42 of the Annales, the whole edition of which was destroyed. Mycologists are invited to send original articles for publication in English, French, German, Italian, Latin or Spanish. The price of each volume will be 40 Swiss francs. The publisher is Ferdinand Berger, Horn, Nied.-Öster-reich; the editor, Dr. F. Petrak, Botanische Abteilung des Naturhistorischen Museums, Vienna, Austria. British mycologists will wish Dr. Petrak success in his venture.
