Mycologia 



by his more popular " Sveriges Atliga och Gif tiga Svampar " with 

 93 colored plates (1861a); Gillet's " Champignons de France" 

 (1874) with nearly 900 hand-colored lithographic drawings, 

 which, because of the three systems of numbering, are difficult 

 to consult (1876a, 1898) ; Kalchbrenner's 40 plates of Hungarian 

 species (1873&, 1876&, 1884a); the Rev. Bresadola's "Fungi 

 Tridentini " of 217 colored lithos. (1881a); the same author's 

 " Funghi Mangerecci e Velenosi dell' Europa Media" (1899a); 

 Cooke's " Mycographia " (1875), his 1199 " Illustrations of 

 British Fungi" (1881&), and his "Australian Fungi ". (1892), 

 all of which have become more useful through commentaries 

 (1899c, 1907) ; Quelet's "Champignons du Jura et des Vosges" 

 (1872) with its many supplements and 66 (?) plates; Barla's 

 "Champignons de Nice" (1859), followed by his "Flore Myco- 

 logique des Alpes Maritimes " (1888), together holding 112 col- 

 ored plates ; finally Lanzi's " Edible and Poisonous Fungi of 

 Rome " (1894a 7 ), 131 hand-colored lithographs of only fair quality; 

 and, Saunders and Smith's 48 colored plates (1871), part second 

 of which was critically reviewed by the illustrious Fries (1873a). 



Also there was an interminable number of lesser works : Berke- 

 ley's "Outlines" (i860), which has been called "a publisher's 

 book"; Valenti-Serini's caricatures (he figures stems of Amanitas 

 that look like designs for some new style of architectural column 

 (1868&)) ; Leuba's figures on black backgrounds (1887) ; Richon 

 and Roze's moderately good "Atlas" (1885); and Maximilian 

 Britzelmayr's " Hymenomyceten aus Siid-Bayern " (1879, 1895a), 

 a work that Lloyd has justly pronounced, " the poorest excuse for 

 an illustrated work on fungi" (1914c). The drawings are mere 

 bedaubed, mimeographed, or zinc-plate figures, on plates of un- 

 equal size, and in absolute disorder. Fortunately, Dr. von Hoh- 

 nel has furnished the suffering systematist with an index to this 

 chaotic mass (1906a). 



Hollos' " Gastromyceten Ungarns " (1904) opens our century. 

 If you wish to see what a sorry show the tri-color product — at 

 its worst — presents when compared with really excellent litho- 

 graphic reproductions, look at Hollos' book, and then turn to 

 Boudier! The 600 magnificent, colored plates of Boudier's
