PRELIMINARY LIST OF HIGHER FUNGI COLLECTED 

 IN THE VICINITY OF ST. LOUIS, MO., FROM 1898 

 TO 1905. 



N. M. Glatfelter. 



GENERAL REMARKS. 



I am not aware that our section is rich in these forms of 

 plant life, indeed, I think the contrary is true. I can, how- 

 ever, not claim an exhaustive collection, although my search 

 has been quite thorough. 



The number listed is about 500. Of these 433 are be- 

 lieved to be definitely determined. The remaining 67 are 

 more or less in doubt, and are so marked.* The numbers in 

 parenthesis are my record numbers. 



The following indicate species new to Science, all deter- 

 mined and named by Prof. Charles H. Peck, State Botanist 

 of New York. They are described in Bulls. Torr. Bot. Club, 

 1900 to 1906 :t Nos. 464, 101, 863, 855, 771, 838, 941, 399, 

 704, 784, 957, 787, 1098, 1100, 1114, 1076, t 102, 1148, 1176, 

 1177, and 1188, 1091. I consider myself most fortunate in 

 having had the good will of a Peck to appeal to, without 

 whose labors this publication could not have been made. 

 Prof. Peck, year after year, patiently reviewed and deter- 

 mined the specimens (dried) sent him. Where he failed, it 

 was due to insufficient notes, or incomplete material. In the 

 body of the work, the credit of determination is accorded 



* Many others, still undetermined, are not Included in this Ust.
