MEMORABILIA. 
Lindberg. — By the death of Professor Lindberg, of Helsing- 
fors, bryologists have lost a valuable coadjutor at the early age 
of 54. During his career he did considerable service, although 
we somewhat doubt the expediency of changing so many names, 
on the ground of priority, to which he was addicted. 
Clavaria clavata, Peck., in Ellis H. Amer. Fungi, Ho. 613, 
25th report of Hew York State Museum of Hatural History, p. 
83, is undoubtedly the same as Clavaria paludicola , Lib., PI. 
Crypt. Ard. fasc. 4, Ho. 322 (1837). 
Braithwaite’s Moss Flora. — We are informed that another 
part of this valuable work may be anticipated about July. 
Fungi, their Hature, Uses, etc. — Another edition, the fourth, 
of this volume by M. C. Cooke, in the International Scientific 
Series, has just appeared. It is almost unique that a book on 
Fungi, in this country, should proceed beyond a first, or at most 
a second edition. 
Cooke’s Illustrations of Fungi. — This work has now reached 
its 69th part, and plate 1,098. Progress has of late been very 
slow, on account of the difficulty experienced in getting the 
plates printed. Part 70 will include the greater part of Cantlna- 
rellus , leaving Marasmius as the only remaining large genus to 
be encountered. The end is therefore in sight. 
Cooke’s British Fresh Water Algji.- — A s only about four 
copies of this work still remain to be sold, it is expedient that 
any person, or Society, intending to purchase should at once 
come to a resolution. All the plates are “ cleaned off,” and 
hence the work is not likely to be reproduced. There is no 
doubt that stray copies will soon advance considerably in 
price. 
Boletus and Polyporus. — It has been suggested that on the 
completion of Cooke’s Illustrations of Fungi, embracing all the 
British Agaricini, a new work should be projected of the same 
character, giving coloured illustrations of Boletus, Polyporus , 
Trametes , Daedalea , Merulius , etc. ; in fact, all the British Poly- 
porei. It is presumed that such a work could be contained 
within the limits of a single volume of about 10 parts, with 16 
plates each. The suggestion is still under consideration, and, 
if attempted, it would be as a distinct work, so as not to extend 
the “ Illustrations of Fungi ” beyond the projected eight 
volumes. 
Ephelis. — A recent communication by M. C. Cooke and G. 
Massee, in the “ Annals of Botany,” suggests that the original
