A QUARTERLY RECORD OF CRYPTOGAMIC BOTANY 
AND ITS LITERATURE. 
EXOTIC FUNGI. 
By M. C. Cooke. 
In the enumeration which follows, only the new and undescribed 
species are inserted, notwithstanding that our knowledge of the 
Fungi of some of the countries is exceedingly limited. It would 
have been of manifest advantage to have furnished a catalogue of 
species for such places as Japan, Madagascar, Burma, &c., had 
the demands on our space permitted it. In the majority of in- 
stances the specimens described are in the Herbarium of the Royal 
Gardens at Kew.
