AN HISTORICAL PICTURE. 



The followers of the late lamented Otto Kuntze will be pleased with 

 the illustration that we are enabled to reproduce from our esteemed contem- 

 porary "Le Pole MtHe," illustrating an important event in history of this 

 school of nomenclature. Perhaps the most momentous incident in the liter- 

 ature of the school was the discovery that Professor McGinty made of the 

 new genus "Anthropomorphus," by which he was enabled to change all the 

 names of the Geasters and added his name to them all. We had the great 

 honor to have been entrusted by Professor McGinty with the original pub- 

 lication of his article, and in view of its classical value we publish it again 

 on the previous page. 



Professor McGinty discovering the genus Anthropomorphus. 



The picture is a copy of an oil painting that hangs in the rooms of the Poseyville 

 Fungus Forage Club, and shows the Professor in the act of making his momentous discovery.
