Overholts : Some New Hampshire Fungi 25 



forest region of pine, balsam, spruce, and hemlock, as well as to 

 hardwood areas of beech, maple, birch, alder, etc. North Con- 

 way and Intervale were the chief local collecting centers. A 

 number of trips were made to Crawford Notch in the heart of the 

 White Mountains, and there the forests are mainly hardwoods 

 with scattering balsam and spruce. An extensive " wind throw " 

 of several years age is located in this region and proved to be a 

 rich collecting ground. One trip was made to Lisbon, another to 

 Bethlehem, and a three day excursion to the summit of Mt. 

 Washington by way of Tuckerman Ravine and returning to 

 Crawford Notch. Advantage was taken of every opportunity 

 for picking up at all times any fungi observed. But only in 

 special groups was the attempt made to collect the same speci-es 

 from different localities or different substrata. In fact, because 

 of other duties, no systematic collecting was done except what 

 might be indulged in at odd times, on holidays, Sundays, etc. 

 Consequently, the species here listed are for the most part the 

 ones that the ordinary collector would casually notice because of 

 their size, coloration, or other conspicuous characteristic. Never- 

 theless, the number of collections made was sufficient to furnish 

 the appended list of 195 species of fungi, every one of which is 

 represented in the writer's herbarium by one or more collections. 

 These species are here listed under about 77 different genera. 

 It is a curious fact, that in this list scarcely more than a dozen 

 species duplicate collections reported by Dr. Farlow. This is 

 mostly explained by the fact that the species he reported belong 

 largely to the lower groups of fungi, while the writer has col- 

 lected more among the higher Basidiomycetes. A number of 

 duplicates from these collections have been furnished the Herbar- 

 ium of the United States Department of Agriculture, the Mis- 

 souri Botanical Garden, the Herbarium of Dr. J. S. Weir, of 

 Dr. H. H. York, then located at Brown University, Providence, 

 R. L, and of the Department of Botany of the Pennsylvania 

 State College. For this reason the writer's herbarium numbers 

 are always cited in the list, that they may the more definitely 

 identify duplicate collections in other herbaria.
