Ur. Lambotte has just issued the second part of his supple- 
ment to k ‘ La Flore Mycologique de la Belgique,” consisting of 
300 pages with plates, containing the Sphseropsidese, Melan- 
conieee, and Hyphomycetes ; comprehending an addition of 850 
species since 1880. The plates are in outline, and in a peculiar 
and unique manner, illustrate the several genera. It need 
hardly be said that the classification and arrangement is that of 
Saccardo’s “ Sylloge,” for that will necessarily form the basis 
of the disposition of all these groups, for some time to come. 
A catalogue of this kind does not furnish much material for 
criticism, for it is little more than a catalogue, with the addi- 
tion of spore measurements to each species, which must be 
accepted as a decided improvement upon the old method of a 
barren list, although we cannot affirm that the measurements 
have been verified, or whether they are simply those of the 
“ Sylloge.” In our opinion it would have been an improvement 
to have added to each species the reference to the page, or the
