lels of latitude, we include a brief statement of our knowledge of 

 the fungi of other portions of North America beyond the limits of 

 the United States. 



Canada. 



A few of the early northwest passage explorers collected fungi 

 from the Arctic regions and carried them to England. Some of 

 them found their way to Hooker's collection (now at Kew) and 

 were described by Berkeley. Later collections have been made 

 by John Macoun, the Dominion botanist, by John Dearness, of 

 Ontario, and Rev. A. E. Waghorne, of Newfoundland. Most of 

 these have been sent to Mr. Ellis for determination so that duplicates 

 are in his herbarium. Few papers have yet appeared bearing on 

 the fungi of the Dominion, but many species exist in collections 

 and some descriptions are scattered widely through our literature. 



The following bear directly on the Canadian flora : 



Berkeley. Descriptions of exotic Fungi in the Collection of Sir 

 W. J. Hooker, etc. Ann. Nat. Hist. 3: 375-401. 1839 i 7- 



451-454. 1841. 



Enumeration of the Fungi collected during the Arctic 



Expedition, 1875-76. Jour. Linn. Soc. 17: 13-17. 1880. 



Ellis & Everhart. Canadian Fungi. Jour. Mycol. i: 85-87. 

 1885. 



List of thirty-four species with descriptions of five new species. 



Ellis & Dearness. New Species of Canadian Fungi. Can. Rec- 

 ord Sci. — : 267-272. 1893. 



Descriptions of twenty-one species. 



Macoun. List of Plants collected on the Coasts of Labrador, 

 Hudson's Strait and Bay, by Robert Bell in 1884. Rep. Geol. 

 Nat. Hist. Survey, Canada, 1 882-1 884. App. DD. 38-47. 1885. 



List of ten fungi. 



Thumen. Contribution a la flore mycologique de la province 

 de Quebec. Nat. Canadien, 10: 8-10. 1878. 



Greenland. 



Naturally the investigation of the fungi of this Danish possession 

 should be looked for in Danish publications. A summary of the 

 knowledge of Greenland fungi appears in the following paper : 



Rostrup. Fungi Groenlandiae : 0\'ersigt over Gronlands 

 Svampe. Meddelelser om Gronland, 3: 517-590. 1888. 



Notes on 290 species including several new species.
