( Continued from page 9.J 
The following completes the list of nnd escribed species con- 
tained in the collection made by Dr. W. H. Harkness in California 
during 1880. Although a large number of the species now de- 
scribed belong to the category of imperfect fungi, they cannot be 
entirely ignored on that account.
