APPENDIX I. 

 GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. 



The real study of the phalloids, as I view it, is the correct characters of 

 the species, the simplest grouping of them into genera, and their distribution. 

 We present a synopsis of the number of phalloids known to occur in various 

 countries, and where the same species occurs in different countries it is in- 

 cluded in each. We include as different phalloids all the various forms named 

 in this pamphlet, and all the alleged species so named, whether doubtful or 

 well known. 



General Distribution. 



When the subject is well known, I think, it will be found that several 

 species are of very wide distribution, but at present we only know two. 



Phallus indusiatus occurs without doubt in every tropical country of the 

 world. We give on page 18 the countries from which we have seen specimens, 

 and the list does not embrace perhaps half of the countries where it occurs. 



Phallus rubicundus (under the names aurantiacus, gracilis, etc.) also seems 

 to occur in most warm countries. 



Europe. 



There are but six phalloids in Europe (including one form). Phallus 

 impudicus is the most common and widespread. The form Phallus imperialis 

 is rare and local. Mutinus caninus is not rare. Clathrus cancellatus is of a 

 southern range. It occurs mostly in southern France, Italy, etc. Colus hirudi- 

 nosus is confined to the Mediterranean region. It occurs in Corsica, Southern 

 France, Portugal. Lysurus borealis is probably an introduced species. It is 

 known from one collection in Germany and two in England.
