PREFACE. Vll 



observations. Altogether^ I think that this Ap- 

 pendix will be found to contain all the species in 

 the Hypodermial section of Coniomycetal Fungi 

 yet discovered in our islands^ together with groups 

 of epiphytal Fungi belonging to other divisions. 

 My only regret is that the size, price, and design 

 of this work did not permit me to include descrip- 

 tions and illustrations of all the British Microscopic 

 Fungi. I trust that what has been done will be 

 found of interest and utihty to agriculturist, horti- 

 culturist, microscopist, and, in fact, to every student 

 or lover of nature.
