Edible Plants of the World. E. Lewis Sturtevant (Agric. 

 Science, iii. 174-178). 



The author has here tabulated the number of species re- 

 corded as edible in each of the natural plant orders. The Legu- 

 minosai are at the head in point of edible species, 320 being re- 

 corded, 119 of which are cultivated for food. Of the Fungi 

 there are 339 reported as edible, 3 cultivated. The list is one of 

 great interest and value to the student of economic botany.

This paper deals with the Lycoperdacecs. Geaster hygrome- 

 tricus, Pers., is relegated to a new genus {Astr^rus) and we shall 

 hereafter know this fungus as AstrcBus hygromctricus, (Pers.) 

 Morg. The author says : " It is impossible to define accurately 

 the genus Geaster and retain this species with it."
