Appended is a list of about 200 edible species. 
Clavis Agaricinorum, W. G. Smith, (75cts.) contains descriptions of 
families and genera (in English') with some account of their fitness for 
food. Appended are charts of outline drawings to show the structure and 
systematic relation of the genera (according to Fries) of the Agarics 
proper. There is also a key to genera and a list of British Agarics 
(complete to 1870.) 
Chromotaxia, P. A. Saccardo, (50 cts.) contains charts of fifty stan¬ 
dard reference colors, with names and synonyms in five languages. 
The Boleti of the U. S., C. H. Peck, (qocts. ?) contains a synopsis 
with detailed descriptions of our species. Published as Bulletin No. 8 of 
N. Y. State Museum, and now increasing in price. 
To these may be added Stevenson’s British Hymenomycetes, 2 vols., 
($8.06) ; Massee’s British Fungus Flora, 4 vols., separately at $2.00 each ; 
Phillips’s British Discomycetes (plates, $1.50) ; all systematic works 
serving in large part for our own flora.

Attention is called to the following extract from a letter of Dr. W. G. 
Farlow in acknowledgment of his election to honorary membership : 
“It may be of interest to the members of the Club to know that, 
thanks to the liberality of friends, it is now possible to carry out a plan 
which has long been desired but was not practical in the absence of 
money to pay for necessary cases, viz. : to arrange an exhibition of cryp¬ 
togams, especially of useful and injurious fungi, on the first floor of the 
Botanical Museum at Cambridge. It is expected that the cases will be 
ready during the summer, and it is hoped that before the end of the 
season a good beginning of an instructive collection will be made, which 
can be completed a year hence. 
I should be greatly obliged to those who feel inclined to aid in 
making the collection useful to the public for typical specimens of fungi, 
and of distortions and injuries of trees, due to vegetable parasites or to 
wounds caused by man or other animals.” 
The Secretary will be glad to see that anything sent to him reaches 
the proper destination. Bulky or heavy specimens had best not be sent 
without a previous inquiry for directions. 
For the future it is requested that Remittances to the Secretary and 
Treasurer be by Check, Money Order, or Registered Letter. One letter 
containing money has been lost. 
Change of address, temporary or permanent, should be reported at 
once.
