52 OUR NATIVE FERNS AND THEIR ALLIES. 



COOKE (M. C). British Fresh-water Algae. 8vo. London. 

 For marine forms : 



FARLOW (W. G.). Marine Algae of New England, in Report 

 of U. S. Fish Commission for 1879. 8vo. Washington. Will 

 serve as a manual for the Eastern States. 



For more extended study the following more expensive 

 works will be desirable : 



HARVEY (W. H.). Nereis Boreal i- Americana. In three 

 parts. 4to. Washington. D. C., 1851, 1853, 1857. 



Phycologia Britannica. 4 vols. royal 8vo. London, 

 1871. 



Both these works are profusely illustrated with colored 

 plates. 



Fungi.* 



For the study of the structure and biology of this group the 

 following is the best work extant : 



DE BARY (A.). Comparative Morphology and Biology of 

 the Fungi, Mycetozoa, and Bacteria. (English Translation.) 

 8vo. Oxford, 1887. (Macmillan & Co.) 



No systematic work on the N. A. Fungi has been published, 

 and none covering the entire group is likely to be published for 

 many years. The best general work is the following : 



WINTER (G.) et al. Die Pilze. In Rabenhorsfs Krypto- 

 gamen Flora von Deutschland, Oesterreich, und der Schwciz. 

 This excellent work is being issued in parts, of which the 

 first of the third volume has ajready appeared. Until this work 

 is completed, the following, though vastly inferior, will be found 

 serviceable if it can be obtained : 



COOKE (M. C.). Handbook of British Fungi. 2 vols. I2mo. 

 London, 1871. 



* In preparing these lists the " List of Works on North American Fungi," 

 by Drs. Farlow and Trelease (Bibliographical Contributions of Harvard Uni- 

 versity, No. 25), has been of great assistance. This will serve as a valuable in- 

 dex for students of Fungi.
