upon one of the Truffles {Elaphomyces (jramilatus) has been 
relound near Mattishall by the Eev. Canon Du Port. 
In the accompanying list _the arrangement is, mainly, that 
employed by Dr. Cooke in his ‘ Hand-book of British Fungi.’ This 
valuable work, to which British Mycology owes so much, is now out 
of print. In the thirteen years which have passed since it was 
published, much light has been thrown upon the life history of 
fungi generally ; facts that were then startling and novel have 
been substantiated by numerous observers, Notably is this the 
case with our knowledge of the physiology of the Uredines, hence 
it has been absolutely necessary to modify the arrangement of the 
genera and species of this group. The nomenclature adopted is 
that employed by Dr. G. Winter in his new edition of Eabenhorst’s 
‘ Kryptogainen Flora.’ The Pyrenomycetes have been arranged 
after the method of Professor Saccardo in his ‘Sylloge Fungorum.’ 
Of this group alone, somewhere between six and seven thousand 
species have been described from various parts of the world. It 
is not to bo wondered that botanists, who make these particular 
fungi their special study, should feel grateful to Professor Saccardo 
for his valuable work in which the descrij^tions of more than six 
thousand are collected aud arranged. To Mr. Frank Norgato 
and to Mr. J. Harvey Bloomo my thanks are due for the help 
they have given me in the work of compiling this list. The 
Eev. Canon Du Port has, during the past four or five years, most 
industriously studied the Hymenonyces, aud to his labours the 
large increase of these fungi, as denizens of Norfolk, is mainly 
due.
