SUPPLEMENT. 
FUNGI EXSICCATI AM.-SEPTENTRIONALIS, A LIST OF PUBLISHED SETS OF DRIED FUNGI, 
WHICH INCLUDE SPECIMENS FROM THE UNITED STATES. 
Fungi Caroliniani Exsiccati. Fungi of 
Carolina, illustrated by natural specimens of the 
species by H. W. Ravenel. Fasc. 1, 1852; 2, 
1853; 3, 4, 1855; 5, 1860. Charleston, S. C. 
Each fasciculus contains 100 specimens, bound in quarto, 
with a systematic index; and 5 contains an alphabetical 
index of the whole series. Each fasciculus is numbered 
separately. Only 30 copies of this series were issted and 
complete sets are now very rare. The specimens were 
mostly collected by Ravenel himself, and M. A. Curtis aided 
in the determination of species. For notices of this work, see

Fungi Americani Exsiccati. H.W. Ravenel 
and M. C. Cooke. Cent. 1-8. 1878-1882. 
This work includes fungi collected by Ravenel principally 
in South Carolina, Georgia, and Texas. The specimens were 
determined by Cooke and issued in centuries on loose sheets 
of quarto size, 4 specimens on each sheet, similar in form to 
_ HKungi Britannici, 2d edition. About 30 sets were issued, 
‘the place of publication being London. The centuries were 
issued two at a time, as follows: 1 and 2, 1878; 3 and 4, 1879; 
5 and 6, 1881; 7 and 8, 1882. There are no indexes accom- 
panying the centuries, but an ation of the species, 
with comments and descriptions of the new apenies in this 
series, will be found as follows: Grevillea, » 129-146;

an ‘‘ Alphabetical Index of Cent. 1-15,” compiled by B. M. 
Everhart, and an “Index of habitats” of Cent. 1-10, com- 
piled and published by W. C. Stevenson. Two centuries 
ave been issued annually, and the edition, which consists of 
50 copies, has up to present date all been sold. 
Cent. 3, 11, 15 contain principally Uredineae, Ustilagineae, 
and Peronosporeae. ~ For review, see title no. 279. Cent. 1, 
5, 9 are principally Ascomycetes. Cent. 12 and 17 largely 
Septoriae, Phy/lostictae, and their allies. Cent. 13 and 16, 
Cercosporae, Ramulariae, and related genera. See reviews

Herbarium Vivum Mycologicum sistens 
fungorum per totam Germaniam crescentium col- 
lectionem perfectai. 
This series of se exsiccati includes 20 centuries, of which 
the first was issued at Berlin in 1832, by J. F. Klotzsch. A 
notice of the first fasciculus appeared in Linnaea, Litteratur- 
Bericht fiir 1833, p.17. Two parts were issued by Klotzsch, 
but the remaining parts were issued by L. Rabenhorst under 
the title *‘ Klotzschii Herbarium vivum mycologicum,” etc. 
Dresden. 1842-1855. For notice of Rabenhorst in connec- 
tion with this series, see Zinnaea, 1842, pp. 333, 334. The 
centuries issued by Rabenhorst are bound in quarto covers. 
There appeared two indexes: ‘*Index in Klotzschii Her- 
barium vivum mycologicum,’’ Cent. 9; and ‘ Index alpha- 
beticus et conspectus systematicus in Klotzschii herbarium 
mycologicum,”? curante Ludovico Rabenhorst, pp. 12, 1851, 
including the first 14 centuries. Complete copies of this series 
are very rare, and very few have the first three centuries 
complete, since, apparently, the specimens of the first two 
centuries, at least had the specimens loose and not bound 
like the later centuries. 
Klotzschii Herbarium Vivum Mycologi- 
cum, etc. Editio nova, cura Dr. L. Rabenhorst. 
Cent. 1-8. Dresden. 1855-1858. 
A continuation of the previous series and similar in form. 
An index on a loose sheet with each century. 
N.B. At some subsequent period what purported to be 
sets of this series were sold by Rabenhorst, but the species 
do not correspond to those of the original issue. The title- 
pages of these s Sena sets bear dates from 1845 to 1859 
without any regular order, and are evidently nothing but old 
titles left over from this and the preceding series. 
Fungi Europaei Exsiccati. Klotzschii her- 
barii vivi mycologici continuatio. Editio nova. 
Series secunda. Cent. 1-86. Dresden. 1859- 
1886. To be continued. 
A continuation of the preceding and of the same form. 
Previous to Cent. 27 there were no indexes, since then an 
alphabetical index bound with each century. This series was 
edited by Rabenhorst until his death and since then, begin- 
ning with Gent. 27, the editor has been G. Winter. At the 
same date the title was changed to “Fungi Europaei et 
Extraeuropaei.”’ With Cent. 21, the numbering of the title- 
ages began again with 1, the number of the whole series 
Benue also retained; and it is by this latter number that the 
centuries are designated. Although the title-pages bear the 
name Dresden, the later centurics have in reality been issued 
from ee The number of copies issued is somewhat 
over 100. 
N.B. What is sometimes offered for sale as Klotzsch’s’ 
Herbarium vivum includes only the Fungi Europaei. In 
many sets Cent. 26, which was in preparation at the-time of 
Rabenhorst’s death but not issued until later, is either want- 
ing or imperfect. The only part of the,whole series which 
contains American specimens is that from Cent. 27 on. The 
following notices of the centuries in which American num- 
bers occur may be consulted in Hedwigia. Cent. 27,4 species 
from United States, vol. XXI. 5-12; Cent. 28 and 29, 8 
species, vol. XXII. 9-15; Cent. 30, 37 species, vol. XXII. . 
173-176, 180-185; Cent. 31 and 32, 53 species, vol. XXIII. 
164-175; Cent. 33 and 34, 88 species, vol. XXIV. 252-264;

Each fasciculus of this series is composed of 50 specimens 
contained in loose envelopes or boxes, and only 25 copies 
were issued. The following numbers are from the United 
States, collected principally by J. B. Ellis: 269, 287, 303, 307,

centuries, in all 310 species, and to some of their labels are
