REMARKS. 



As our work thus far with the polyporoids has been largely introduc- 

 tory, the names used are to an extent tentative. For the European polypo- 

 roids we expect to adopt in the main the names used by Fries, for they 

 are definite, well known, and well established. Fries did most excellent 

 work with the polyporoids, as he did with all Hymenomycetes, and I can see 

 no object in pulling down his structure for the purpose of substituting an- 

 other that probably would not be half as good. When I do not adopt 

 Fries' names, it will be in cases where I find that he has been mistaken as 

 to facts, for Fries did not have the opportunities to get specimens that we 

 have now. He drew his conclusions regarding the plants of Europe (with 

 the exception of Sweden) largely from books, and no doubt he has included 

 some errors. Personally, I do not approve of the work of the class of mod- 

 ern name-jugglers, who work over the so-called synonyms and shuffle the
