PUBLISHER'S NOTE. 



It has not been possible to represent all the genera of mushrooms which 

 contain species having value as esculents within the compass of this series 

 of five pamphlets, but the demand for these promises to justify the publi- 

 cation, at a future date, of a second series, which the author now has in 

 preparation. A. R. T.
