Morgan. The Journal of the Cincinnati Society of Natural History,

This article of twenty pages contains the descriptions of the species 

 of Polyporus, giving, as in the three preceding articles, a synoptical 

 key by means of which the labor of identification is somewhat facilitated. 

 There is one accompanying plate, of P. delectans. Peck. Prof. Morgan 

 in these papers is doing good service in a most difficult field for which 

 amateurs and beginners particularly will be very thankful. The preceding 

 pamphlet of Prof. BurrilFs belongs also to the same category.

ERRATA. 



On page 112, Gloeosporium punctiforme, Sacc. & Ell. (No. 14) is, by 

 some inexplicable oversight, only No. 29 duplicated under another spe- 

 cific name, and must therefore be cancelled.
