BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



The following short list of comparatively recent works indicates 

 where more detailed descriptions and illustrations of European 

 Agarics may be consulted. 



GENERAL WORKS, CONTAINING DESCRIPTIONS OF THE 

 AGARICS OF MORE THAN ONE COUNTRY. 



Hymenomycetes Europaei, sive Epicriseos Systematis Mycologici ; 

 Elias Fries. Ed. n. Upsala, 1876. 



(Although not of recent date, this work cannot be omitted, inas- 

 much as it embodies the experience of over fifty years of continuous 

 observation on the part of the author, and is the sheet-anchor of the 

 present generation of mycologists. Written in Latin.) 



Sylloge Fungorum omnium hucusque cognitorum ; P. A. Saccardo. 

 Vol. v. Padua, 1887. 



(Contains descriptions of all European Agarics up to date of 

 publication. Later discoveries are contained in various supplements. 

 Written in Latin.) 



Rysslands, Finlands och den Skandinaviska halfons Hattsvampar ; 

 P. A. Karsten. Helsingfors, 1879. 



(Descriptions of Russian, Finnish and Scandinavian Agarics, in 

 Swedish. It is in this work where Fries' subgenera, as Amanita, etc. 

 are first raised to specific rank. Written in Swedish.) 



Die Pilze Deutschlands, Oesterreichs und der Schweiz; Georg 

 Winter. Leipzig, 1884. 



(This forms the first volume of Rabenhorst's ' Kryptogamen-Flora 

 von Deutschland, Oesterreich und der Schweiz,' and contains along 

 with other fungi, descriptions of the Agarics of Germany, Austria 

 and Switzerland, in German.) 



Flore Mycologique de la France et des Pays limitrophes ; Lucien 

 Quelet. Paris, 1888. 



(This is undoubtedly the best and latest work containing detailed 

 descriptions of the Basidiomycetes of Central and Western Europe. 

 The systematic arrangement is new and somewhat perplexing, and 

 the index is a terror. Written in French.) 



GREAT BRITAIN. 



Illustrations of British Fungi; M. C. Cooke. London, 1881-1891. 



(This is by far the most important, and at the same time the most 

 comprehensive series of coloured figures of Agarics ever published in 

 any country, including 1199 plates.)
