NEW YORK FUNGI. 
The First Century is now ready for distribution, and others will follow as soon as 
prepared. It is intended to make these sets as complete as possible in Hymenomy- 
cetes. Prof. Chas. H. Peck has kindly promised to examine all species of which he 
is the author. It is hoped that the science of Mycology may be rendered some service 
by making accessible authentic specimens, and thus helping to avoid the multiplica- 
tion of synonyms. Price for the First Century, bound, $7.00; unbound, $6.00. For- 
eign subscriptions 25 cents extra for postage. Those desiring to subscribe or seeking 
further information, please address

VIRGINIA PLANTS. 
During the coming spring and summer I shall collect along the south- 
ern boundary of Virginia, from the coast to the mountains, a region un- 
explored botanically, and one that will beyond a doubt yield a number 
of new and many rare plants. An endeavor will also be made to obtain 
all the new species, about a dozen in all, collected by myself and others 
during the past three years in adjacent territory. An effort will be made 
not only to keep up the standard of previous collections, but also to im- 
prove upon them in every way possible. Anyone desiring sets, should 
please address
