 Division of Vegetable Physiology and Pathology,

 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith an article on Some 

 Edible and Poisonous Fnngi, by Dr. ^y. G. Farlow, of Harvard Uni- 

 versity, and respectfully recommend that it be published as Bulle- 

 tin No. 15 of this Division. This article has already been j)ublished 

 in the Yearbook of the Department for 1897, but the demand for 

 literature relative to mushrooms is so great that it is desirable to have 

 the article in the form of a bulletin. 

 Respectfully,
