LIST OF WORKS ON NORTH AMERICAN FUNGI, 
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SCHIZOMYCETES, PUBLISHED BEFORE 1887. 
By W. G. FARLOW axp WILLIAM TRELEASE. 
The following list has been prepared from a card-catalogue of authors used in indexing the species of fungi found in the 
Dnited States and the northern parts of North America. The list does not include works on Schizomycetes, as that group is 
now studied principally by specialists, and includes forms the greater part of which belong rather to the department of medi- 
cine than to botany proper, and the literature of the subject is already well indexed elsewhere. The present list aims to 
include mainly works of greater or less value to working botanists, and it would be difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary to add 
the very large number of papers of a popular and indefinite character relating to fungi not specifically named which are scat- 
tered through the various agricultural, horticultural, and other journals. Neither has it been thought best to enumerate the 
general and, to botanists, well-known treatises which include fungi as well as other orders of plants, unless special reference is 
made to North American species, or unless they contain figures of our species not easily found elsewhere. As it is, the pres- 
ent list, which is the first of the kind yet published, will show that the general belief of botanists not specially studying the 
subject that very little has been written on North American mycology is by no means correct. The means for obtaining good 
summaries of the current literature have, within the last few years, been much improved ;, and, in order to complete the record 
of the past as far as possible, botanists are requested to send corrections of and additions to the present :ist, which may be 
issued ina supplement. Thanks are due to a number of authors who have kindly consented to revise the list of their works 
for publication. 
Where the pages of reprints differ from the original they are put in parenthesis. The dates after authors’ names indicate 
the date of birth, and death is indicated by a cross ({). :
