The foregoing list of about 950 species of New Jersey Fungi, 

 though not professing to be a complete enumeration of all the 

 species to be found within the limits of the State, is the best that 

 can at present be given. 



The list of the Agaricini especially is very meagre, embracing 

 mostly only the commonest species. It is probable that of this 

 family alone there are, within the limits of the State, from the 

 mountainous districts of the north to the low plains of the south, 

 at a moderate estimate, at least 200 species. 



All the species enumerated have been collected in the imme- 

 diate vicinity of Newfield, and as far as the ascomycetous fungi 

 are concerned, the list probably includes the bulk of the species 

 which grow in that vicinity. 



In his Synopsis of North American Fungi, Schweinitz men- 

 tions a few species from New Jersey, and in the Curtis Collec- 

 tion are also a few more ; perhaps in all 25 species which might 

 be added to the list.
