  Mrs.

  informs 
  me 
  that 
  she 
  has 
  found 
  this 
  parasite 
  

   growing 
  on 
  upland 
  spruces, 
  so 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  limited 
  to 
  those 
  growing 
  

   in 
  and 
  around 
  marshes.

  In 
  the 
  development 
  of 
  a 
  science 
  like 
  Mycology 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  possible 
  

   wholly 
  to 
  avoid 
  mistakes 
  and 
  the 
  necessity 
  of 
  changes 
  in 
  names 
  and 
  

   arrangement. 
  Recent 
  European 
  publications 
  enable 
  me 
  to 
  make 
  

   some 
  corrections 
  in 
  the 
  nomenclature 
  of 
  previous 
  reports.
