 Simply dry the specimens and send them in. 



P. A. SACCARDO 



About ten years ago we gave in Mycological Notes, page 

 a small portrait of Prof. Saccardo taken in 1891. We are g)' 

 able to present a larger, and more recent photograph, m 

 ten years ago, 1906. Prof. Saccardo was born in 1845 and i~ 

 of age at present. 



Few men have been able to accomplish as much work 

 time as has been done by Saccardo, who has issued 22 * iumes of 

 Sylloge Fungorum, containing Latin descriptions of 72,438 fungi, 

 translated from every language of the world. We are advised thai 

 another volume is now under way. 



As we gave in our previous notice of Prof. Saccardo an expression 

 of the magnitude of this work and the thoroughness with which it 

 has been done, we will not repeat it here. We will only add that 

 we doubt if any other branch of science has as thorough, accurate 

 and complete a summary of the proposed species as has mycology 

 in the twenty-two volumes that have been issued. We hope that 

 Prof. Saccardo has many years ahead of him to continue the work, 

 and we doubt if anyone else would have the courage or the facilities 

 to undertake it. 



PHELLORINA STROBILINA 



FROM MISS A. V. DUTHIE, SOUTH AFRICA 



Miss Duthie does have the luck to get a lot of rare "puff balls." 

 This is the fourth rarity that she has sent me. Phellorina strobilina 

 has heretofore been known from two collections, both from Australia. 

 One is at Berlin, named as above (1880), the other at Kew, named 

 Xylopodium ochroleucum, by Cooke (1887). This is the first speci- 

 men I have ever received, and the first specimen collected in Africa, 

 nor has it been collected in Australia for thirty years.
