FUNGI OF NOVA SCOTIA : FIRST SUPPLEMENTARY LIST. BY 

 A. H. MACKAY, LL. D., F. R. S. C., HALIFAX. 



Read llth December 1905 ; revised to November 1907. 



This list is the first supplement to the " provisional list " 

 presented to the Institute on the 8th December, 1902 three 

 years ago a'nd published in the Transactions, vol. xi, page 122. 

 My colleagues contributing to this list are (1) , Mr. E. K. 

 Gates, M. A., of Middleton, Annapolis county [in 1907, doing 

 post-graduate work at Chicago University] ; (2) , Mr. Clarence 

 L. Moore, M. A., of Pictou Academy [at present, 1907, 

 principal of county academy and public schools, Sydney] 

 and formerly a* post-graduate student in Johns Hopkins 

 University; (3), Miss Minnie C. Hewitt, science teacher in 

 the Lunenburg Academy; and (4), Mr. W. P. Fraser, B. A., 

 science master in the Pictou Academy (last collection in 

 1906). The list is not large, and some of the determinations 

 may be inexact, but it is hoped that the annual publication of 

 new species found will stimulate these and our other students 

 of the fungi to more energetic and systematic exploration and 

 study of the species indigenous to the province. 



It is also expected that the corps of workers now taking 

 an interest in our fungi will, before long, enable us to correct 

 any wrong determinations, if there are any, in this a'nd in the 

 provisional list of 1902. The nomenclature will then be revised 

 so as to keep in touch with the most modern classification, and a 

 new and more complete list be published. In the meantime, 

 the general order and nomenclature of M. C. Cooke , which 

 were followed by our earliest fungologists and by the pro- 

 visional list, will generally govern the order and nomenclature 

 of this supplementary list as far as convenient. The author-
