BURLINGHAM: RUSSULAE OF LONG ISLAND 303 
not probable that it affects the distribution of the Russulae on 
Long Island. 
The work on this genus on Long Island has been only begun. 
It is probable that double the number of species found may yet be 
discovered when the work of collecting has been extended to the 
outwash plains toward the south and to the pine-bearing regions. 
The work thus far done has shown that we may expect to find 
not only those species ranging from New England to Virginia 
and southward, but some southern species which reach their 
northern limit in the latitude of New York, and certain northern 
species which extend their southern limit to Long Island. And it 
is possible that some species may prove to be found exclusively on 
Long Island.
