MYCOLOGIA SCOTICA. 
115 
The Mycologia commences with a Map of Scotland, divided into 
Botanical Districts. Then follows an introduction, giving an ac- 
count of the aim and arrangement of the work, and the manner in 
which these have been carried out. This is succeeded by the Flora it- 
self, extending over upwards of four hundred pages, giving names of 
the species, reference to description, locality, period, and geographi- 
cal distribution. Descriptions of such species only are given as are 
not included in the Handbook” or the “ Myxomycetes.” The 
book gives evidence of having been produced with care, and is fur- 
nished with an exhaustive index. Hence it will be seen that not 
only was its author the fittest person, but he has accomplished his 
work in such a manner as fully to satisfy his friends, and disarm his 
critics. As only a very limited number of copies were printed 
beyond the number of subscribers, those who may be desirous of 
possessing a copy of one, which will soon become a “ rare book,” 
must bestir themselves, ere it be too late. Application should be 
made to the Author, Glamis, Forfarshire.
