Mycologia 



In Lindau and Sydow's Thesaurus litteraturae mycologicae 

 . . . under J. A. Mougeot (no. 77) occurs the title: Champig- 

 nons des Vosges (Statist, du Depart, des Vosges, Epinal 1845, 

 127 p.) ; the same title is also given under A. Mougeot, by Tra- 

 verso in his Supplementum alterum to Saccardo's Bibliotheca 

 mycologicae ... in the Sylloge fungorum, v. 17, p. lxxii. I 

 have not been able to locate this work but I feel reasonably sure 

 that it is wrongly credited to J. A. Mougeot. There seems to 

 have been considerable confusion of the father (Jean Baptiste) 

 and the son (Joseph Antoine or Antoine, as he is more often) 

 given) by bibliographers. A notable example is that of the 

 Royal Society's Catalogue of scientific papers, 1st series, which, 

 however, corrected the mistake in the supplementary volume. 

 There is no mention of any such work by J. A. Mougeot by his 

 biographers; in fact it would not seem that his published myco- 

 logical work dates so far back. It is most probably a reprint 

 from J. B. Mougeot's Considerations generales sur la vegetation 

 spontanee du departement des Vosges. This was first published 

 in the Ann. Soc. Emul. Dep. Vosges in 1834 (Lindau no. 73), 

 but according to Kirschleger in his Flore d'Alsace, v. 2, p. 

 lxx-lxxi, included only the phanerogams ; in 1845 it was reprinted 

 with the addition of the cryptogams, in Lepage and Charton's 

 Statistique du Departement des Vosges (Lindau, no. 73a, the 

 date 1835 must be a typographical error). An examination of 

 a copy of the reprint of the Considerations generales ... of 

 1845, discovers no indication that the son (J. A. Mougeot) had 

 any hand in the work. The part dealing with fungi, both general 

 text and the table of species, would cover about 127 p., which is 

 given as the number of pages for the reprint " Champignons des 

 Vosges." 



Nos. 78 and 79, credited by Lindau to J. A. Mougeot, should 

 also be transferred to J. B. Mougeot, the' father. 



I should be glad to get track of a copy of the " Champignons 

 , des Vosges," 1845, an d would appreciate information in regard 

 to its location. 



It is very possible that the following note of correction for 

 Saccardo's " Sylloge fungorum " has already been brought to the
