Trans. Cal. Acad. Sci.
[two articles by a pair of authors published in 2886 in the Journal of Mycology]
It is reasonable to assume that this translates to Transactions of the California Academy of Sciences. We have unable to find such a publication in a library catalogue. NOTE: The three references to this abbreviation all occur in only two issues of one journal in 1886.
  • DIALONECTRIA GALLII, Plow. & Hark. Trans. Cal. Acad. Sci., 1884, p.26 on p.135 of an article by J. B. Ellis, B. M. Everhart in The Journal of Mycology, Vol. 2, No. 12 (Dec., 1886), pp. 133-137
  • Same ref, same citing authors on p.125 in Vol. 2, No. 11 (Nov., 1886), pp. 121-125
  • just a repeat of the 2nd ref.
It seems likely that these two authors wrongly cited a classic article by Dr. C. B. Plowright and H. W. Harkness.
