BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES.—LXI. 
Pgrsoon’s “ OBSERVATIONES MycoLoaicm.” 
Mucx confusion seems to exist in connection with C. H. 
Persoon’s Obseredtionss Myoriopnes brought about by the fact 
that the title was used for two quite distinct publications. The 
first of these appeared in Usteri’s Annalen der Botantk, xy. pp. 1-39 
(1795), with three plates. The next year the first part of a 
separate work, Observationes mycologica, sew descriptiones tam 
but in spite of an 5 Labial Bo fairly common assumption 
not identical. This assumption is probably due to the fact that, 
owing to omissions aa additions, the fpege numbers of the 
species agree in the vast majority of case 
The differences in the two works yoni as follows. There is n 
dedication to the 1795 paper, but to the first ‘olame of the 
independent work is a short dedication to 8. J. mans (the 
second volume is dedicated to J. E. Smith). The intro iebions 
are raperes the main ger being the addition of one para- 
graph and the omission of t e botanical descriptions and 
Siecieesll are also often slightly dif erent. 
O. hysarum nutans of the 1795 paper is replaced b 
P. muscicola in the independent work; 12 Agaricus fastidiosus by 
A. estivus; and 20 Isarta umbrina by Trichoderma leve.. In the 
later work Poria rubella is added, with the number 24, and thus 
24 Poria vitrea, 25 Corticium cesium, 26 Corticiwm hydnoideum, 
and 27 Corticiwm alutaceum of the former work become 25 to 28. 
30 Uredo mycophila, and 31 Uredo appendiculata become 29 and 
30. As there is no Ne o. 31 in the separate work, the numbers run 
together again up to No. 71. The remaining four numbers of the 
earlier wore. are quite different from the work of the following 
year, é.g. 4 Diderma vernicosum becomes No. 1 
There was ecuenue no Naas puphossion ‘of Observationes 
in Usteri’s Annalen. (The reference given to a second part, e. g. 
in Lindau & Sydow’s Thesaurus re “16. Stiick, 1795, pp. 1-33,” is
