230 FUNGI. 



gated, although requiring revision. Less attention having been 

 given to the minute forms, and more to the Ilymenomycetcs than 

 in Franco and Belgium, may in part account for the larger pro- 

 portion of the latter in the Swiss flora.* 



In Spain and Portugal scarce anything has been done ; the 

 small collection made by Welwitsch can in no way be supposed 

 to represent the Peninsula. 



The fungi of Italy f include some species peculiar to the 

 Peninsula. The Tiileracei are well represented, and although 

 the Hymcnomycetes do not equal in number those of Britain or 

 Scandinavia, a good proportion is maintained. 



Bavaria and Austria (including Hungary and the Tyrol) are 

 being more thoroughly investigated than hitherto, but the works 

 of Schaaffer, Tratinnick, Corda, and Krombholz have made us 

 acquainted with the general features of their mycology, J to 

 which more recent lists and catalogues have contributed. The 

 publication of dried specimens has of late years greatly facili- 

 tated acquaintance with the fungi of different countries in 

 Europe, and those issued by Baron Thilmcn from Austria do not 

 differ materially from, those of Northern Germany, although 

 Dr. Rehm has made us acquainted with some new and inter- 

 esting forms from Bavaria. ||
