FLORA OF BRITISH FUNGI. 
The first volume of the work which we announced two years 
ago under the above title has just been issued under the name 
of “ Hymenomycetes Britannici, British Fungi (Hymenomy- 
cetes).” There are reasons, not far to seek, why we should 
hesitate to pronounce any opinion on this volume, which, being 
written for scholars rather than for mycologists, omits the 
following species mostly figured in the 3rd and 4th vols. of 
“ Illustrations of British Fungi ” : — 
Agaricus (Pluteus) ephebius, Fr. Grev. xiii, 90,
