». Worthington Smith was born in 1835, and was a contemporary 
of Berkeley and Cooke; by his death, therefore, mycologists’ are 
deprived of a most interesting link with the past. His principal 
published works were:—Diseases of Farm and Garden Crops 
(1884), a supplementary volume to Berkeley’s Outline of British 
Pung? (1891), Man, the Primeval Savage, and the well-known 
and useful Synopsis of British Basidiomycetes (1911). Amongst 
other awards received for his work as an artist was the Gold 
Pe of the Royal pcre os and the Silver Medal 
oi the R.H.S. of Ireland. In 1865 he was awarded the 
Kaighnn Medal of the former ma for his. researches on 
Potato Blight; the results of this work, however, have not been 
altogether accepted by later botanists. Worthington Smith was 
the first freeman of Dunstable, and was President of the British 
Mycological Society in 1903. He was awarded a Civil List 
Pension in 1902 for his services to archaeology and botanical 
illustration.
