NEW WORK ON BRITISH FUNGI. 



We are delighted to welcome the appearance, last month, of the eagerly ex- 

 pected work on British Discomycetes by William Phillips, F.L.S., nor 

 does the volume disappoint the sanguine expectations of mycologists. In our 

 next issue will appear a fuller notice of this valuable contribution to British 

 Mycology. Meanwhile we may mention that it forms the new volume of the 

 International Science series.
