gated, although requiring revision. Less attention having been 
given to the minute forms, and more to the Hymenomycetes than 
in France and Belgium, may in part account for the larger pro- 
portion of the latter in the Swiss flora.* 
In Spain and Portugal scarce anything has been done; the 
small collection made by Welwitsch can in no way be supposed 
to represent the Peninsula. 
The fungi of Italy include some species peculiar to the 
Peninsula. The Tuberacet are well represented, and although 
the Hymenomycetes do not equal in number those of Britain or 
Scandinavia, a good proportion is maintained. 
Bavaria and Austria (including Hungary and the Tyrol) are 
being more thoroughly investigated than hitherto, but the works 
of Scheffer, Tratinnick, Corda, and Krombholz have made us 
acquainted with the general features of their mycology, to 
which more recent lists and catalogues have contributed. § Tho 
publication of dried specimens has of late years greatly facili- 
tated acquaintance with the fungi of different countries in 
Europe, and those issued by Baron Thiimen from Austria do not 
differ materially from those of Northern Germany, although 
Dr. Rehm has made us acquainted with some new and inter- 
esting forms from Bavaria.||

borders. Karsten has investigated the fungi of Finland,** and
