42 Ohio Mycological Bulletin No. ii. 



periment and for the pleasure and benefit of a few persons, it has grown 

 into a periodical of considerable popular interest — the large, mostly 

 unsolicited membership, perhaps, warranting such a statement. The text 

 offered, no less than the syl-lab-i-fi-ca'-tion and ac-cen-tu-a'-tion used, 

 has undoubtedly justified the claim that this Leaflet is primarily intended 

 for children in years and children in knowledge. It is hoped that the 

 numerous pictures of mushrooms have afforded both pleasure and profit. 

 Hearty thanks are extended to all who have taken interest in this mat- 

 ter, and special obligations are again expressed for the numerous spec- 

 imens, notes, sketches, and photographs kindly sent to the editor. A 

 special request is made that all subscribers forward at once the fee, ten 

 cents, for the Bulletin for 1904. No. 13 (first number for 1904), will be 

 sent out during January or early in February. It would be much appre- 

 ciated if members would kindly send subscriptions for some of their 

 friends, or take opportunity to call attention to the Bulletin. The fre- 

 quency of issue during the year will depend on the financial receipts — 

 and let us hope that two copies a month may appear during the Spring and 

 Fall, when mushrooms more conspicuously abound. 



Membership of the Ohio Mycological Club. — The list of members 

 the current year reached the surprising number of seven hundred sixty- 

 Hve. An inspection of the published lists reveals the fact that equal 

 interest in mushrooms is to be credited to children, pupils, teachers, stu- 

 dents, amateurs, professional botanists and mycologists. It will be a re- 

 ciprocal benefit if the roll of members is largely increased for next year. 

 The experience of some of the high school teachers warrants a special 

 suggestion that classes in botany can advantageously devote a portion of 

 time to the higher fungi and that the Bulletin would be a material aid. 



Back Numbers of The Bulletin. — It is most unfortunate that a 

 considerable demand for this Leaflet could not have been foreseen. Prac- 

 tically all of the first Numbers are exhausted. The price of the few com- 

 plete copies of Volume I must be placed at 50 cents — the proceeds to 

 apply on Bulletins for next year. A larger edition will be issued hereafter. 



Portrait of an Eminent Mycologist. — It is with special pleasure 

 that I print as a worthy frontispiece to Volume I, a portrait of Professor 

 Charles H. Peck, of Albany, New York, to whom, far above all others, 

 we owe our extensive knowledge of the Mushrooms of the United States. 

 His numerous illustrated reports as State Botanist of New York are as 

 admirable as useful. It is fortunate that some of them are now placed 

 on sale by Mr. Fred. J. H. Merrill, Director of the New York State 

 Museum, Albany, N. Y.
