Berlin (2nd Ed. 1872) and further Winter, "Die Pilze Deutschlands, Oester- 

 reichs und der Sdnvciz," Leipzig 1884. Rabcnborst's "Kryptogamenflora" 

 brings the subject to completion. 



The most comprehensive systematic summary of all the fungi is con- 

 tained in 1'. A. .Saccardo's "Sylloge Fungorum." The eleventh volume with 

 a ".Supplementum universale" was published in Pavia in 1895. Sydow's "In- 

 dex universalis et locupletissimus nominum plantarum hospitium speciarum- 

 (jue omnium fungorum," Berolini, Fratres Horntraeger 1898, carries the work 

 further. This book contains all the fungi known up to 1897. Further sup- 

 plemental volumes (XI\'-X\T) were published in 1899-1902 and others arc 

 to follow. Saccardo supplemented this great work on fungi with 1500 illus- 

 trations which were published from 1877-1886 under the title "I'ungi italici 

 autographice delineati," Patavii. 



In place of the sketchy drawings of this work, A. N. lierlese began to 

 publish a series of most careful, colored illustrations under the title, "Icone*^ 

 fungorum ad usum Sylloges Saccardianae adcommodatae," Abellini. The 

 Sphaeriaceae Hyalophnujmiae were furnished in parts I V-\\ which appeared 

 in 1894. To our knowledge, the author had not finished the work at the time 

 of his untimely death. In the same way, we find colored illustrations in 

 Cooke's "Mycographia scu Icones fungorum," London : — the first part ap- 

 peared in 1879 with cuts of the discomycetes. 



The publications on fungi and bacteria now become so numerous that 

 they are no longer to be mastered and make any further citations impossible. 

 This compels us to refer to the "Botonischer Jahresbericht" which has been 

 appearing since 1873. 



It is natural that Teratology has also developed further since Moquin 

 1 andon. Among the works treating of the material as a whole, emphasis 

 should be laid on M. Master's "Vegetable Teratology," London 1869 and C). 

 Penzig, "I'flanzenteratologie," systematisch geordnet, (ienua 1890-94, which 

 may be designated as the most complete book of reference on this subject. 



Pecause of limited space we must forego all further citations of my- 

 cological literature. The reader will find the desired sujiplementary infor- 

 mation in the second volume of this work. However, a brief reference to 

 the numerous ])ublications descriptive of fresh and herbarium material must 

 be made in a presentation of the history of the development of this science. 

 Among the herbaria which pay especial attention to plant diseases, there 

 should be mentioned here, F. v. Thiimen, "Herbarium mycologicum oeco- 

 nomicum," Teplitz, 1873-79, Rabenhorst, "Fungi europaei exsiccati" con- 

 tinued by Winter and Patzschke ; L. Fuckel, "Fungi rhenani exsiccati," 2nd 

 lulition 1874; Jak. Eriksson, "Fungi parasitici scandinavici," Stockholm 

 1882-1895; G. Briosi et F. Cavara, "J funghi parassiti delle piante coltivate 

 ed utili essicati, delineati e dcscritti," Pavia, fasc. I-XII (1897) ; W. Krieger, 

 "Schadliche Pilze unserer Kulturgewachse," fasc. I. 1896; A. B. Seymour 

 and F. S. Earle. "Economic Fungi, Cambridge. Following in close connec- 

 tion with Rehm's ascomycete collection, published many years ago, are many
