Bibliography.

T. FETCH, B.A., B.Sc. 

 The folloMng list includes articles relating to Ceylon mycology and 

 plant pathology (excluding insect injuries) published prior to January 1, 

 1911, so far as these can be ascertained from the hterature available. 

 This limitation is no doubt responsible for many omissions, and notice of 

 any such will be welcomed. 



Through the labours of Koenig, Gardner, and Thwaites, Ceylon fungi 

 formed a large percentage of the older collections of tropical fungi in 

 Euroj)ean Museums. Consequently Ceylon species figure largely in 

 systematic mycological Hterature, and the majority of the monographs of 

 specifel groups contain references to some Ceylon forms. Furthermore, 

 certain Ceylon diseases have achieved a world-wide reputation. Under 

 these circumstances it became a jDroblem what to include in a Hst which is 

 intended to afford assistance to future students of mycology in Ceylon. It 

 is obviously useless to cite the hundreds of references to coffee leaf disease 

 in Ceylon which have been pubhshed in British and Foreign Journals ; nor 

 is there any value in distributional records and theories when these aie 

 based merety on the records cited in " Saccardo." It was ultimatelj* 

 decided to enumerate only such works as furnished additional information, 

 based upon Ceylon material, thus excluding (1) papers which merely cite 

 previous Ceylon records ; (2) papers or monographs which contain supposed 

 fm-ther information concsrning Ceylon species, but not based upon an 

 examination of Ceylon specimens ; (3) reviews and abstracts of Ceylon 

 work, unless these contain corrections or additions.
