restricted the references to a citation of the page in Mr. Phillip's 

 Manual for each species, of the number and name under which 

 each appears in the Mycologia Scotica, and for those published as 

 Scotch since the publication of that work in 1879 to the citation 

 of the place of their publication. 



The chief works in which information is contained with regard 

 to Scotch Discomycetes in general are Lightfoot's Flora Scotica 

 (1777), in which a few true species of the group are mentioned; 

 Hooker's Flora Scotica (1821), also with only a few species; 

 Greville's Cryptogamic Flora of Scotland (1823-29), of great value; 

 Berkeley's Fungi ) forming Vol. V., part 2, of Smith's E?iglish 

 Flora (1836), edited by Hooker; the long series of papers on 

 British Fungi by Messrs. Berkeley and Broome in the Annals and 

 Magazine of Natural History, in which are recorded many Scotch 

 species forwarded to Mr. Berkeley by Messrs. Jerdon, Stevenson, 

 Fergusson, Anderson, Keith, Buchanan White, and others; Cooke's 

 Handbook of British Fungi (187 1), in which are swept together the 

 results of much of Mr. Berkeley's work, along with that of earlier 

 observers ; Stevenson's Mycologia Scotica (1879) ; numerous articles 

 in Grevillea and in the Scottish Naturalist ; and Phillips' Manual 

 of British Discomycetes, in which are several previously unpublished 

 Scotch records. 



Among the more important of the local works in which these 

 Fungi are included may be mentioned Greville's Flora Edinensis, 

 Johnstone's Flora of Berwickshire, and Botany of the Eastern Borders; 

 Gardiner's Flora of Forfarshire ; Dickie's Botanist's Guide to the 

 Counties of Aberdeen, Banff, and Kincardine, and numerous papers 

 in the volumes of the Scottish Naturalist, upon the Fungi of 

 Moray by Dr. Keith, on the Fungi of Mull, and a Preliminary 

 List of the Fungi of Perthshire by Dr. Buchanan White ; Annual 

 Reports, since 1884, on the additions to the Fungi of the East of 

 Scotland by myself ; and the Report last April in this Journal on 

 the Fungi of the West of Scotland. Dr. Keith has also published 

 a complete list of the Fungi of Moray in the Transactions of the 

 Natural History Society of Aberdeen. Another list of Fungi 

 must be named, but only to state that it is worthless, owing to the 

 carelessness with which it had been prepared. This is the list 

 given in the Fauna and Flora of the West of Scotland, prepared 

 ior the meeting of the British Association in Glasgow in 1876.
