those collected by Professor Atkinson or liis associates and deposited in 

 the herl);iriiiiii <)f the Alabama IN)Iyte;;hnic Institute, the material col- 

 lected by (1. VV. Carver of the Tuskegee JSormal and Industrial Insti- 

 tute in Macon (3ounty, and the si)ecies reported upon by the authors 

 iu later i)aiK'rs from material collected in 189.") and subsequently. 



The following list of the Alabama fungi has been kindly furnished 

 by Prof. F. S. Earle. The writer takes this occasion to express his 

 gratitude for this valuable contribution to his catalogue of Alabama 

 plants. 



Introductory to this list Professor Karle makes the following remarks: 



111 the rreliniiiiarj- List of Alabama Fungi, of Uiuleiwootl and Karle, published 

 (luring the summer of 18!t7 ' 1,110 species were noted as occurring iu the State, and the 

 distribution by counties was given. At about the same time Professor Atkinson 

 published his list of 644 species, which appeared as Bulletin, Vol. 3, No. 1, of the 

 Cornell University. Two hundred and thirty-two of the species were not given iu 

 Bulletin 80. 



These two publications are the basis of the following list, though it contains a 

 number of additional species not reported in either of them. 



The nomenclature adopted is essentially that of P^ngler & Prantl, Die Natuer- 

 lichen Pflanzenfamilien. This necessitates the change for good reason of a few of 

 the Saccardian generic names that were used in the above publication. The setiuence 

 of orders and families is that of Engler & Prantl's work, the genera and species 

 being arranged alphabetically. 



To this the writer has to add that, in order to bring his list into 

 accord with the idan adopted in the present work, the genera had also 

 to be systematically arranged according to the work of the above 

 authors, and the authority for each genus had to be given. Further 

 have been added citations for the more recently described species,- the 

 names of collectors in Alabama, and the distribution of species by 

 States, as far as could be ascertained from the various State floras, 

 occurrence iu Europe being also noted.
