THE ILLUSTRATIONS. 



It is hoped that the Figures given will help to elucidate the text, 

 and will assist beginners in mastering the details of structure and 

 classification. 



It has been found practicable to advance somewhat beyond the 

 limits laid down in the body of this woi'k, and to illustrate, by 

 means of typical species, the vast majority of the Genera of Fungi 

 found in the British Isles. Unavoidable omissions there are, but 

 they are neither numerous nor important. 



Appended is a set of tables illustrating the essential structural 

 points on which the Subgenera of Agaricus have been founded.
