ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE SEEDS OR SPORES OF FUNGL 

 MAGNIFIED 1,000 DIAMETERS. 



Fig 1.— Shows the pale hlue spores of 

 Polyi)orus easius, common on old larch 

 wood : it would require 200, 000, 000 of these 

 spores, one deep, to cover a square inch 

 superficial. 



Fig. 2.— Spore of Agaricus (Armillaria) 

 mucidus, parisitic on old beeches. 



Fig. 3.— Spore of the curious Boldiis 

 ^arosiWciM, parasitic on Scleroderma r^iJyarc. 



Fig. 4. — Spore of Agaricus (Amanita) 

 vaginati'.s.

 vida, produced under the microscope from 

 the confluent germinating spores. 



Fig. 20. — Discs from human blood, drawn 

 to the same scale, 1,000 diameters, to give 

 an idea of the exceeding minuteness of the 

 objects, especially of Fig. 1, which, how- 

 ever, is by no means unique for smalbiess.
