It may not be amiss to set mile-stones for the liui.i.iniN 

 for each five years. Accordingly we have given an hulex for 

 X'olnmes l-\ , during which time the pagination was continuous ; 

 those who wish to bind them into one volume will appreciate a 

 single index for all. The value is still enhanced by indexing 

 the illustrations separately from the subject matter. 



Our second quinquennial period begins with this issue, and 

 accordingly we begin again with page 1. The practically un- 

 changing list of steady subscribers is appreciated, and suggests 

 that tile Bui.i.KTiN is organized on a satisfactory basis. However, 

 it is believed that a type somewhat larger will be welcomed, and 

 we hope nothing of neatness will be thereby sacrificed ; in fact, 

 we are sure the appearance will be improved.

'I'Ik- (Icatli of Professor Morgan has removed from us a 

 genuine naturalist, an eminent mycologist, and splendid man. 

 I'.ut it is a pleasure to state that the deep interest in nature, 

 particularly the vegetable world, which his daily life, study, and 

 publications evinced, had nothing of sordid motive — this was 

 iiol a means of accumulating wealth or even a method of earn- 

 ing a li\elihood. His latter twenty-three years, on the farm, 

 were (|uile favoral)le to sympathetic enjoyment of nature and 

 most fulK eml)raced. My own visit at his home a summer or 

 two ago. with a short ramble through his fields and woods, put 

 me in touch with a type of naturalist too rare these later days; 

 revealed to me a soul alive to the beauties of nature and respons- 

 ive to her sweetest influences. 



He devoted much study to the nuishrooms and other higher 



fungi- — not neglecting, however, other interesting plants, for 



exam])le, Discomvcetes. the Slime-moulds or Myxomycetes, etc.. 



^ Most important for us of his numerous ])ublications should 



CT> be mentioned his Mycologic Flora of the Miami Valley. ]nib- 



JT lislietl in the Journal of the Cincinnati Society of Natural His- 



g,Q tor\-, and his various papers on Agarics, published recently in 



the Join-nal of Mycology.
