[March, 1857.] 49 



LIST OF rUXGI 

 Observed in the neighbourhood of Jedburgh, Roxburghshire. 



The following list contains the Fungi, principally of the larger 

 genera, such as Agaricus, Polyporus, and Boletus, observed in 

 this neighbourhood in the course of two or three years. At the 

 same time it must be considered a very imperfect one, as I am 

 but a tp'o in jNIycology, being still ignorant of many of the mi- 

 nuter genera, and as my observations have been confined to this 

 immediate vicinity. 



I have experienced much pleasm'e in attempting to investigate 

 these lower forms of the vegetable world, and would heartily re- 

 commend the study to those who, like myself, may have pretty 

 well "worked out^^ the Phsenogamous Flora of a district, and 

 who are desirous of continuing their botanical researches. The 

 multitude and variety of the forms which present themselves to 

 us open quite a new world, as it were, and force us to exclaim 

 with the Psalmist, " O Lord, how manifold are thy works ! in 

 wisdom hast thou made them all."
