SPEGAZZINl’s DECADES MYCOLOGI.E ITALICS. 
37 
new or rare species, sucli as should have constituted the entire 
•thirty. It is a very unthankful office to remind persons of their 
promises, and to claim their fulfilment, but the vendors of scientific 
specimens are assumed to be gentlemen of education, superior to 
the advertising subterfuges of a petty tradesman, or the question- 
able morality of an ordinary draper’s assistant. 
ANNUAL CRYPTOGAMIC MEETINGS. 
The Fungus Foray of the Woolhope Club is fixed to take place 
at Hereford, on Thursday, the 2nd October, and the gathering of 
Mycologists will, as usual, commence on the previous Monday. 
The Cryptogamic Society of Scotland is advertised to meet 
during the previous week at Forres, commencing on the 26th 
September. There is to be no “show” this year, but excursions 
will be organised to scour the neighbourhood for Fungi. 
By the way. we believe that we may state that the long promised 
Mycologia Scoticais gone to press, and that there is every prospect 
of its appearance this autumn. 
As to the Botanical Society of France, we have not, up to the 
present, received any intimation of a Mycological Session being held 
this year. Our French friends are by no means so persistent in 
their Annual Meeting as the English and Scotch Mycologists. 
This is to be regretted, for undoubtedly such gatherings have a 
stimulating influence, which can scarce be compensated in any 
other way.
