REMARKS ON A "CATALOGUE OF OHIO PLANTS" 

 BY KELLERMAN AND WERNER. 



By Joseph F. James, M.D. 



This catalogue, undoubtedly the most extensive that has ever 

 been published of Ohio plants, occupies 350 pages (56-406) of part 2 

 of volume 7 of the Geological Survey of Ohio. It has only recently 

 been distributed, although the title page of the volume is dated 1893. 

 It is scarcely to be expected that so extensive a work as this would be 

 without omissions and errors, and in the belief that any additions to the 

 list would be acceptable the following remarks are offered. Pages 

 56-79 are taken up with a bibliography extending from 181 5 to 

 1893. One hundred and thirty-three references are given, with short 

 notices of the contents of each article. Within the period mentioned 

 (mite a number of omissions have been noted and in addition to 

 these omissions, a small number are here given that have been 

 published between 1893 an d 1895.

 fungi given in Lea's Catalogue of plants of Cincinnati. In that pub- 

 lication there are many notes not given in the one under notice, and 

 there are remarks here not given in the catalogue. The descriptions 

 are the same in both, but the names date from this publication and 

 not from the Catalogue. After describing Agaricus {Clyiocybe) ochro- 

 purpureus, Mr. Berkeley says: "This, and the greater part of the 

 following species, are described from a very rich collection of 

 Fungi, consisting of above 280 species, from the neighborhood of 

 Cincinnati, kindly sent to Sir W. J. Hooker, by T. G. Lea, Esq., 

 and accompanied in many instances by very copious and valuable 

 notes. The collection has furnished a large quantity of interesting 

 species, first made known in his memoirs by Schweinitz, some very 

 rare European forms, and a considerable number of new species, the
