THE REV. M. J. BERKELEY. 
It is witli profound regret that we have to announce the death of 
our esteemed friend and valued coadjutor, the Rev. Miles Joseph 
Berkeley, M.A., F.R.S. This event took place at Sibbertoft 
Vicarage, near Market Harborough, on the 30th July, in his 86th 
year. In all directions we may look for accounts of his long and 
active life, which his many friends will be anxious to record. His 
services to mycology in Great Britain cannot be overrated. The 
book which, perhaps of all others, will be his monument, is the one 
containing the Fungi in Sir William Hooker’s u British Flora,” and 
this was, for about a quarter of a century, the text book for English 
students. “ Outlines of British Fungology,” was a more recent 
work, but it was a publisher’s book, and, for the most part, a barren 
catalogue, which had to be compressed that it should only occupy 
a given space. If the condition of knowledge of fungi in 1836 be 
taken into account, it will be seen that the volume of “ British 
Flora ” devoted to this subject was fully abreast of the time, and 
represented a vast amount of earnest and careful work, in face of 
many difficulties, brought to a successful issue. Read by the light of 
1889, the book of 1836 will seem to be very imperfect, but when 
compared with all which preceded it, it must be acknowledged as a 
decided advance. Even now it may often be consulted with advan- 
tage. Actively working at fungi for more than fifty years, and in 
constant and familiar correspondence with the veteran Fries, it was to 
be expected that Berkeley should obtain and maintain the lead in 
all that concerned mycology in this country. With him the old 
race of mycologists is extinct. The elder and younger Fries, Mon-
