156 PAPERS, ETC. 



The above contribution towards the mycology of Somer- 

 setshire does not profess to contaln all the species which 

 have been observed, stiU less to define their distribution. 

 Many of the more minute are either new to Britain or alto- 

 gether undescribed previous to their occurrence in this dis- 

 trict. Such have been noticed lately in the Annais of 

 Natural History ; and they are inserted here with a view 

 to their rarity or novelty, which wiU explain why numbers 

 of very common species do not occurin the list, It is hoped 

 that botanists resident in different parts of the county will 

 contribute their aid towards torming a complete history of 

 its mycology.
