CataUxjHe of Flowering Flanfs, Ferns and Fungi. 



43 



of the ordei's as have been made necessary by recent investigations. 

 As far as the order C'a/>r(/oZiacer/.', tlie arrangement in Watson's Biblio- 

 graphical Index to North American Botany has been followed. After 

 that the arrangement in Gray's Manual. Some genera have been 

 merged in old ones, and some species of one genus transfen-ed to an- 

 other. Whenever such has been the case in late years, synonvms are 

 given. 



The list of fungi lias been copied bo. lily from the excellent catalogue 

 of Mr. Lea, published in 1849. As this is now out of print, and 

 almost impossible to procure, I have thought that a reprint of this 

 part of his work would be a benefit to such workers as may be inclined 

 to take hold of the subject. A very few have been added as found by 

 my brother, and mention is made of such species of the list as he has 

 identified. Mr. Lea is almost the onl}' one who has collected the lower 

 Gryptogamia in this neighborhood extensively, and his list is valuable 

 not onh' as an index of what we ma^' expect to find here, but also for 

 the valuable notes on the locations of the species, as well as descrip- 

 tions of new ones. The name of Rev. M. J, Berkelej', to whom the 

 arrangement of this portion of Mr. Lea's collection was intrusted, i.s 

 sufficient guarantee of its accuracy, and the corrections in nomencla- 

 ture and orthography, which have kindly been made by Prof. Chas. H. 

 Peck, of Albany, New York, make this portion of the catalogue as cor- 

 rect as the present state of knowledge permits.
