The publication of the Preliminary List of the Lower 
Fungi of the Philippine Islands in Leaflets of Philippine 
Botany, Vol. VI, pages 2065 to 2190, immediately called 
forth from various friends of this work, many corrections, 
additions, bibliographical citations and taxonomic sugges- 
tions. At the same time the studies of Philippine material 
by Sydow, Rehm, Saccardo, and others in Europe, were being 
rapidly continued and published. The European war having 
caused a temporary discontinuance of new work, this be- 
comes an opportune time to bring all further contributions 
together, down to date. 
The field work of two of my student assistants, S. A. 
Reyes, and M. B. Raimundo, has become increasingly fruit- 
ful and important. They are only able to give odd mo- 
ments to it, but even with this, their most unusual powers 
of observation have produced great results. I have mever 
known of anything better among American students. I have 
». also received very valuable assistance from others of my 
students, notably from J. J. Mirasol, G. Evaristo, N. G. 
Teodoro, and E. Sablan, all as effective as I should expect 
from the average American Agricultural College student un- 
der similar cireumstances.
