ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT. 
C. E. R. — (a) “An Elementary Text-book of British Fungi” (illustrated), 
by W. Delisle Hay, is published by Sonnenschein. A beginner would find 
Worthington Smith’s “ Guide to the Models of British P'ungi in the British 
Museum ” (price qd.) very useful, (b) Sach’s “ History of Botany,” English 
Translation, Clarendon Press; and (r) Weather’s “Practical Guide to Garden 
Plants” (Longmans) would probably answer your purpose.
