ILLUSTRATIONS OF FUNGI.

work, and subscribers solicited for it entirely independently, so that 
the eight volumes will remain as a complete series. It seems pro- 
bable that the whole will contain upwards of 1,200 plates, which will 
unquestionably, for number, place this work far ahead of any Atlas 
of A garicini ever attempted. The plates of Cortinarii included in 
the above two volumes, and those of Lactarius and Russula in the 
succeeding volumes, will commend themselves for completeness, and 
it is also hoped for accuracy, not only to the present, but to a future 
generation. Systems may change, and names fluctuate, but trust- 
worthy figures are generally admitted to be “ things of beauty, and 
a joy for ever.”
