FUNGI OF EAST DORSET. 149 



summer to co-operate with me in collecting material for this 

 paper, he promptly accepted my invitation ; and with some 

 previous knowledge of this class of plant he has done 

 remarkably good work in observing so many species in a 

 single season, and has added much to the value of my 

 contribution to the knowledge of the Fungi of East Dorset. 

 At my suggestion Mr. Green availed himself of the special 

 knowledge of Mr. J. F. Rayner, F.R.H.S., by submitting to 

 him all those species which he was not quite familiar with, 

 so that all his records about which there was any doubt have 

 been confirmed by a specialist. I take the opportunity of 

 again expressing my great obligation to Mr. Rayner for the 

 assistance which he has so willingly accorded both to Mr. 

 Green and to myself. 



My thanks are also due to the Director of the Royal Gardens, 

 Kew, for having some of the microscopic Fungi named b^y 

 members of his staff. 



In this portion of my paper the supplementary records 

 of the Agaricineae are dealt with first, and the remaining 

 Families, &c., follow in due order. For convenience, the 

 Synopsis of Classes, Orders and Families is reprinted as a 

 Table of Contents. An Index of the Genera mentioned in 

 the course of this paper will be found at the end. 



Mr. C. B. Green's initials are appended to all localities or 

 groups of localities reported by him ; and Mrs. Baker's and 

 Mrs. Pringle's names follow the records which they have 

 respectively contributed.
