SYNOPSIS MYCOLOGHE VENETiE.* 
This is an octavo volume of 360 pages, clearly and distinctly 
printed, of Italian Fungi classed according to their hosts, or 
matrices, after the manner of the little volume published by 
Westendorp many years ago. A work of this kind is often very 
useful, only that species seem to increase at such an enormous rate 
that new editions will be required every year or two. Doubtless its 
value would have been enhanced had it not been confined to Italian 
Fungi, but included all known species, as far as practicable, 
from all parts of the world, or, at any rate, for the whole of 
Europe.
