Note. — The above Catalogue has been compiled chiefly from 
descriptions, or determinations, by several mycologists, with no 
type specimens, in many cases, available for reference. Conse- 
quently no attempt has been made at reduction, although confident 
that species have been introduced which cannot be maintained as 
distinct from species previously described. Different authors will 
naturally hold different views as to the limits of species in propor- 
tion to their knowledge and experience of exotic forms, and their 
tendencies to variation under varied conditions. We make these 
observations in order to prevent any misconception that we are 
prepared to adopt all the names quoted in the list.
