I may add that the method pursued in this mycological research was as 

 follows : — 



Each afternoon, when possible, baskets and bottles for small specimens 

 were taken, and we visited the hardwood bushes of the neighborhood and collected 

 specimens till dark or nearly so. On our return to the Laboratory, we arranged 

 our collections upon white paper in such a manner that spores would be shed over 

 night and this means of identification utilized. The following morning we identi- 

 fied as many as possible and took description of those we could not identify, after 

 which we preserved all but the Boleti and the Bracket fungi in 4% formalin in 

 jars, tagged with numbers corresponding to our list, which contained either the 

 species or the description and date and place where the species was found. Bracket 

 fungi we preserved dry in cigar boxes or, when large, in large boxes. Boleti, we 

 preserved in a mixture of 4% formalin and 30% alcohol, as they broke down in 

 4% formalin. In many cases one day's collecting furnished material for two or 

 more days' work in classification. Where trips were longer, a whole day was re- 

 quired for collecting. The collecting covered the area around the station near the 

 shores, within a radius of 7 miles among the islands and about 7 miles up the Go 

 Home river. In no cases were we able to take long trips inland because of the 

 roughness of the country and the difficulty of finding our boat on our return to 

 the shore.
