WILLIAM ALPHONSO MURRILL. 



You can travel the museums of the world over and you will not meet a pleas- 

 anter, more affable gentleman than W. A. Murrill, assistant director of the New 

 York Botanical Garden, in charge of the mycological department. Together we 

 have enjoyed several visits, and I am much pleased to be able to publish his pho- 

 tograph in our series of prominent mycologists. It is quite appropriate to include 

 it in this pamphlet, as Mr. Murrill first came into prominence through his publica- 

 tion on the Polyporus.
