preserved at Leiden. Letter No. 87.

JUNGHUHN was among the first to name foreign species of fungi. 
He made large collections in Java and published a paper that was 
finely illustrated, in 1839. If all of his types were destroyed many 
of his species would still live, for he gave good accounts of them 
and good figures of many of them. All of the figures that he cites 
were not published as it was his intention to continue the work, 
and he numbered his paper „Fasc. 1,” but no further paper were 
issued by him on the subject. Dr. GOETHART assures me that the 
originals of JUNGHUHN’s figures are not preserved in the museum 
at Leiden. 
However, there are at Leiden colored drawings of a large 
number of Javanese fungi, and they are the best 1 have ever seen 
of tropical fungi. The name of the author of these icones has been 
lost, but l think L have found evidence to trace them to ZiPPELrus. 
Most of them are named as new species and it was evidently the 
intention to publish them, and it is unfortunate that they were 
not published as they were mostly „new species” at that time. 
Many of them have been named since. [ hope to have more to say 
as to these icones in a future letter. 
JUNGHUHN's specimens are mostly preserved, and of the thirty- 
three species that he named [ found the types of twenty-seven. 
The remaining six have probably been misplaced in covers where 
they do not belong, or bis labels for the specimens have been lost,
