awaiting the finding of more ample material to submit to 

 acknowledged authorities in special branches. 



No species of doubtful determination has been included in 

 the list so far as we know. A host of unreliable names has 

 not been our object. All the recent species here recorded have 

 passed through the writer's hands. His thanks are due and are 

 cordially paid to Dr. M. C. Cooke, A.L.S., Mr. G. Massee, 

 F.L.S., V.M. H., Royal Herbarium, Kew, Mr. Worthington 

 G. Smith, British Museum (Nat. Hist.), Prof. Dr. H. Rehm, 

 Munich, Dr. E. Boudier, Montmorency, and others for valu- 

 able assistance rendered by examining material submitted to 

 them. In a very special sense are they due to Mr. Massee. 



The classification adopted is that of Prof. Saccardo's 

 " Sylloge Fungorum," with a few slight exceptions. Bolton's 

 names in many cases vary from those at present in use, but it 

 has been thought quite sufficient to give the plate (Tab.) 

 number, and thus avoid cumbering the pages with synonyms.
