Specimens have been received of a considerable number of extra- 
limital species. A list of these, together with the other contributions 
and of the contributors, is marked (8). 
New species and descriptions thereof, previously unreported 
species, remarkable varieties and observations, are given in a section 
marked (4). 
The large and interesting genus Puccinia is represented in our 
State by forty species. Of these, several are new and of others only 
brief and unsatisfactory descriptions have been published, and none 
of the descriptions that I have seen give the dimensions of the spores. 
It has been thought desirable, therefore, to give a full synopsis of our 
species. This is marked (5). It is illustrated by drawings of the 
magnified spores of all the species. 
The work of making colored sketches of the fieshy fungi as fast as 
collected has been continued and in some cases extended to the 
microscopic species and the details of their fructification. The num- 
ber of species figured is sixty-three. 
A marked deficiency in the production of Agarics and other fleshy 
fungi the past season has been reported to me by several correspond- 
ents. The season has not been excessively dry except in the western 
part of the State, and I am at a loss to know to what cause to attri- 
bute this result. The prevailing low temperature doubtless had 
some influence in producing the scarcity, but this alone is scarcely a 
sufficient cause.
