SACCARDO’S SYLLOGE FUNGORUM.* 
The first volume is just published of this work, which promises 
to be a most valuable and indispensable one for the Mycologist. 
The want of some synopsis of all described species has long been 
felt, and at last Professor Saccardo has undertaken the Herculasan 
task. This volume consists of 766 pages, and includes the descriptions, 
in Latin, of 2,849 species of Pyrenomycetes, which are estimated 
to be about half of the entire number. The second volume is 
promised during next year. As far as we have yet been enabled 
to test it, the compilation appears to have been carefully and con- 
scientiously performed. We are glad to see that incomplete 
diagnoses, and doubtful species also find a place in appendices, so 
that a degree of completeness is attained which would not have 
been consistent with their exclusion. We are also gratified to find 
that the reduction of species has not been indulged in so much as 
* Sylloge Fungorum, omnium hucusque cognitorum. P. A. Saccardo, 
“Pyrenomycetes,” vol. i,, (Padua).
