THE LAST LESSON IN THE BOOK. 



What! Have we come to the last lesson in the book! And 

 (lid yon enjoy the Mnshrooms? Yes? Well, we will issue 

 arother volume of the same kind — only better we hope. More 

 notes and more photos sent by the subscribers will surely be 

 an improvement ; and may be our own experience will con- 

 tribute to slight advancement. 



The Frontispiece for Volume IV. — We take pleasure in pre- 

 senting the portrait of ore so eminent as Dr. W. G. Farlow 

 of Harvard L'niversity. the professor of cryptogamic botany 

 in that Institution. Well can the portrait grace our fourth 

 volume. Dr. Farlow has been ore of the leaders in mycology 

 in this country, and he has done much in advancing our know- 

 ledge of Mushrooms. 



Editing at a Distance. — On the day this No. reaches the 

 subscribers the editor will set sail for Central America. There- 

 fore from Guatemala again the editorial pen will reach back 

 for issuarce of the winter Nos. Ever\^ effort will be made 

 to send these out promptly (the first week of each month), 

 and if rot well served complaints mav be cabled without delay, 



ZDto a countrv where nature is kind, where birds sing and flowers 

 blow, a lar.d of sunshine and orladness, where it is suiumer all 



jvjwmter!
