THE FUNGI OF WARWICKSHIRE. 
A copious Addenda and Omissa, winch occupies thirty- 
seven pages, closes the work, and the following summary will 
show at a glance how rich a field for research is to be found 
in the West Riding of Yorkshire. These are:— 
Phanerogams (including Ferns) 
... 1,044 
Characeae 
12 
Mosses 
340 
Ilepatics 
108 
Lichens 
258 
Fungi 
... 1.009 
Algae 
382 
3,153 
There are three ably compiled indices, the work of Mr. W. 
Wliitwell. These are excellent, and reflect well on the 
patience and thoroughness of the compiler. 
In conclusion, the work is well printed, and, considering 
the vastness of the records, remarkably free from errata, and 
from beginning to end reflects the highest credit on the 
author. J. E. Bagnall. 
THE FUNGI OF WARWICKSHIRE.. 
BY W. B. GROVE, B.A., AND J. E. BAGNALL, A.L.S. 
In publishing this list of the Fungi of Warwickshire, our 
aim has been to place on record all that has been done by 
past and present workers in the study of the Warwickshire 
Hymenomycetes, so far as our knowledge extends. 
The list must be far from complete, as only portions of 
the county have been worked, and those portions far from 
exhaustively. 
In determining the species intended by Withering and 
Purton, the identifications of previous authors have not been 
copied ; but an attempt has been made, by comparison of 
their descriptions, and the quoted figures, with the latest 
ideas of Fries, to decide what was meant by them, and we 
feel assured that this can be satisfactorily done in more 
cases than has been before imagined. 
We have also availed ourselves of that extensive series of 
coloured illustrations of fungi from the neighbourhood of Kenil¬ 
worth and Warwick which is now in the British Museum; 
these were executed by the late Mrs. Russell, of Kenilworth, 
and many of her specimens were named or confirmed by 
eminent authorities. We must here acknowledge our 
indebtedness to the late Rev. W. W. Newbould for all our
