SUPPLEMENT. 



FUNGI EXSICCATI AM.-SEPTENTRIONALIS, A LIST OF PUBLISHED SETS OF DRIED FUNGI, 

 WHICH INCLUDE SPECIMENS FROM THE UNITED STATES. 



Fungi Carolinian! Exsiccati. Fungi of 

 Carolina, illustrated by natural specimens of the 

 species by H. W. Ravenel. Fasc. 1, 1852; 2, 

 1853; 3, 4, 1855; 5, 1860. Charleston, S. C. 



Each fasciculus contains 100 specimens, bound in quarto, 

 with a systematic index; and 5 contains an alphabetical 

 index of the whole series. Each fasciculus is numbered 

 separately. Only 30 copies of this series were issued and 

 complete sets are now very rare. The specimens were 

 mostly collected by Ravenel himself, and M. A. Curtis aided 

 in the determination of species. For notices of this work, see 

 Am. Jour. Sci. Arts, XVI. 2 ser. 129; XVII. 285; XX. 284; 

 XXIII. 439; and Charleston Med. Jour, and Rev. VII. 

 690 et seq. 



Fungi American! Exsiccati. H. W. Ravenel 

 and M. C. Cooke. Cent. 1--8. 1878-1882. 



This work includes fungi collected by Ravenel principally 

 in South Carolina, Georgia, and Texas. The specimens were 

 determined by Cooke and issued in centuries on loose sheets 

 of quarto size, 4 specimens on each sheet, similar in form to 

 Fungi Britannici, 2d edition. About 30 sets were issued, 

 the place of publication being London. The centuries were 

 issued two at a time, as follows : 1 and 2, 1878 ; 3 and 4, 1879 ; 

 5 and 6, 1881 ; 7 and 8, 1882. There are no indexes accom- 

 panying the centuries, but an enumeration of the species, 

 with comments and descriptions of the new species in this 

 series, will be found as follows: Grevillea, VI. 129-146; 

 VII. 32-35, 43-54; XI. 106-111; XII. 22-33; Hedwigia,

Herbarium Vivum Mycologicum sistens 

 f ungortim per totara Germaniam crescentium col- 

 lectionem perfectam. 



Tliis series of fungi exsiccati includes 20 centuries, of which 

 the first was issued at Berlin in 1832, by J. F. Klot/sch. A 

 notice of the first fasciculus appeared in Linnaca, LiUeratnr- 

 Berickt fur 1833, p. 17. Two parts \vcrc issued by Klot/sch, 

 but the remaining parts were issued by L. Rabenhorst under 

 the title " Klotzschii Herbarium vivuiii mycologicum," etc. 

 Dresden. 1842-1855. For notice of Rabenhorst in connec- 

 tion with this series, see Linnnea, 1842, pp. 333, 334. The 

 centuries issued by Rabenhorst are bound in quarto covers. 

 There appeared two indexes: "Index in Klot/schii Her- 

 barium vivum mycologicom," Cent. 9; and " Index alpha- 

 beticus et conspectus systcmaticns in Klot/schii herbarium 

 mycologicum," curante Ludovico Rabenhorst, pp. 12, 1851, 



including the first 14 centuries. Complete copies of this series 

 arc very rare, and very few have the first three centuries 

 complete, since, apparently, the specimens of the first two 

 centuries at least had the specimens loose and not bound 

 like the later centuries. 



Klotzschii Herbarium Vivum Mycologi- 

 cum, etc. Editio nova, cura Dr. L. Rabenhorst. 

 Cent. 1-8. Dresden. 1855-1858. 



A continuation of the previous series and similar in form. 

 An index on a loose sheet with each century. 



N. B. At some subsequent period what purported to be 

 sets of this series were sold by Rabenhorst, but the species 

 do not correspond to those of the original issue. The title- 

 pages of these spurious sets bear dates from 1845 to 1859, 

 without any regular order, and are evidently nothing but old 

 titles left over from this and the preceding series. 



Fungi Europaei Exsiccati. Klotzschii her- 

 barii vivi mycologici continuatio. Editio nova. 

 Series secunda. "Cent. 1-36. Dresden. 1859- 

 1886. To be continued. 



A continuation of the preceding and of the same form. 

 Previous to Cent. 27 there were no indexes, since then an 

 alphabetical index bound with each century. This series was 

 edited by Rabenhorst until his death and since then, begin- 

 ning with Cent. 27, the editor has been G. Winter. At the 

 same date the title was changed to " Fungi Europaei et 

 Extraeuropaei." With Cent. 21, the numbering of the title- 

 pages began again with 1, the number of the whole series 

 being also retained; and it is by this latter number that the 

 centuries are designated. Although the title-pages bear the 

 name Dresden, the later centuries have in reality been issued 

 from Leipsic. The number of copies issued is somewhat 

 over 100. 



N. B. What is sometimes offered for sale as Klotzsch's 

 Herbarium vivum includes only the Fungi Europaei. In 

 many sets Cent. 26, which was in preparation at the time of 

 Rabenhorst's death but not issued until later, is either want- 

 ing or imperfect. The only part of the whole series which 

 contains American specimens is that from Cent. 27 on. The 

 following notices of the centuries in which American num- 

 bers occur may be consulted in Uedwigia. Cent. 27, 4 species 

 from United States, vol. XXI. 5-12; Cent. 28 and 29, 8 

 species, vol. XXII. 9-15; Cent. 30, 37 species, vol. XXII. 

 173-176, 180-185; Cent. 31 and 32, 53 species, vol. XXIII. 

 164-175; Cent. 33 and 34, 88 species, vol. XXIV. 252-264; 

 Cent. 35 and 36, 99 species, vol. XXV. 257-263 ; XXVI. 24-35.

 herausgegeben von Dr. Med. Rehm. Fasc. 1-17. 

 Nos. 1-850. Regensburg. 1873-1885. To be 

 contiuued. 



Each fasciculus of this series is composed of 50 specimens 

 contained in loose envelopes or boxes, and only 25 copies 

 were issued. The following numbers are from the United 

 States, collected principally by J. B. Ellis : 269, 287, 303, 307, 

 310, 311, 314, 315,316, 318, 325, 329, 337, 338, 347, 360, 361, 363,

There are specimens from the United States in each of the 

 centuries, in all 310 species, and to some of their labels are
