XoTE. — Bequests for Itouud copies of the Mycological Bulletin, Vol. 

 I, have been complied with, and a very few copies ma^^ be obtained at an 

 advance of 25 cents in price, namelj", 75 cents a copy. 



Two Objects.— This No. of the Bnlletin is designed to introduce the 

 genus of Mushrooms called Am-a-ni-ta, which unfortunately contains 

 poisonous species; and at the same time to renew the notice relative to At- 

 kinson's book on ' •Mushrooms Edible and Poisonous," which I regard as 

 the best work for ever}' body to use. 



Portrait. — The portrait of Professor Geo. F. Atkinson (with autograph) 

 is presented on the second page, and at the same time acknowledgement is 

 made for the illustrations in this Xo.. all of which are taken from his admir- 

 able book on Mushrooms. We will therefore call this issue of the Bulletin 

 the Atkinson Dumber.
