It will be evident from Table I. that hardly anything ia known of the 

 Fungi occurring in half the sub-provinces of Ireland ; while Table II. shows 

 that the same thing is true of the Province of Connaught. The tolal species 

 so far found in Ireland, namely 1464, probably represent less than lialf the 

 fungal tiora of the country, as nearly 6,000 species have been found ia Great 

 Britain. 



Several of the parasitic species — as, for example, Phytophthora infestans de 

 Bary, Ventnria inatqualis, Wint. and others — are certainly far more widely 

 distributed than is indicated by the actual records of their occurrence. 

 Many of them are, without doubt, universally distributed over Ireland, but 

 actual records of their occurrence are still wanting. 



BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



All sources of information on the distribution of Irish Fungi are, so far 

 as known, indicated in the following list. The arrangement adopted is an 

 alphabetical one ; and the list of papers indexed under each author's name is 

 arranged chronologically. Any scattered information on Irish Fungi, such 

 as exhibits before the Dublin Microscopical Club or accounts of species 

 collected on field-club excursions, will be found in the pages of the journals 

 indicated, such as " Irish Naturalist," " Quarterly Journal of Microscopical 

 Science," &c. ITie Bibliography of Irish Fungi in the National Museum, 

 Dublin, has also been consulted.
