Note upon Sophronia modest a y fol. 1129, 



At ttie time this article was written, we had not received the Botanical 



— A 



Division of Captain Freycinet's Voyage, in which there is a genus of Fungi 

 named Sophronia. This being the case, it is necessary, in order to avoid 

 confusion, that we should alter our name ; our readers are therefore 

 requested to substitute Sophronitis for Sophronia^
