190 THE MICROSCOPE. 
mushrooms found in the United States, with directions for se ecting, 
and preparing them for the table. The paper before us is a reprint 
from the annual report of the United States Department of 
Agriculture for 1885. A lithographic plate illuminates the text. 
We are sure that Dr. Taylor will receive the thanks of every lover 
of agarics for his admirable contribution to the subject. We regret 
to notice that the distinguished author has neglected to add the 
American Society of Microscopists to the list of societies of which 
he is a member.

This excellent magazine is devoted to those who minister to the 
sick and suffering. It is ably edited by Miss Margaret Elliot 
Frances, herself a trained nurse, and thus in a position to know just 
the needs of this class of readers. Besides the matters of especial 
interest to nurses, there is much in the magazine which will be 
found instructive to physicians, and especially to mothers and all 
who have to do with children. The price of The Trained Nurse is 
$1.50 a year. We can furnish it in club with Tue Mricroscorr for 
$2.00. 
Tue Bausch & Lomb Optical Co. have issued a supplementary
