Some Questions ivhich they Suggest. 81 



booksellers are often stupid about getting it, as we believe 

 that they get no profit on it, and therefore if ordered 

 through a bookseller particular instructions should be 

 given to get it from the South Kensington Museum. This 

 little book is very admirable, and by itself will enable a 

 student to identify most or all of his specimens. Mr. 

 Lister's other book, " A Monograph of the Mycetozoa," 

 which is not confined to British species, was also published 

 by the Trustees of the British Museum, but is sold by 

 Longmans and other booksellers. The price of this book, 

 which is beautifully illustrated, is sixteen shillings. Mr. 

 Massee has also published a " Monograph of the Myxo- 

 gastres," 1892, illustrated with coloured plates. De 

 Bary's " Comparative Morphology and Fungi, Mycetozoa, 

 and Bacteria," of which an English translation has been 

 published by the Clarendon Press, should be consulted by 

 the student who desires further knowledge. The text- 

 books on general botany and on general cryptogamic 

 botany, such as Sach's Text Book, Kerner's " Natural 

 History of Plants," Bennett and Murray's "Cryptogamic 

 Botany," and Dr. Scott's " Structural Botany, Part II.," 

 may all usefully be consulted. 



For the student who desires to go further into the 

 literature of the subject, the following bibliography may 

 prove useful :
