EDITOR'S NOTES. 
The belated appearance of this number is much regretted, 
but was unavoidable by reason of the editor’s late return from a 
winter trip to Guatemala and the many college duties that were 
imperative during the few weeks past. Though no excuse for 
this tardiness — it is a pleasure to state that many parasitic species 
from that mycologically unexplored region were taken in; it is 
predicted that a critical study of this material during the summer 
will reveal the presence of many very interesting species. It is 
safe to say now that only a few of the forms are those that are 
common in the United States. 
In this No. we print the First Supplement to the New Genera 
of Fungi published since 1900 — giving, as in the first install¬ 
ment of this compilation, an exact transcript of the original de¬ 
scription of each genus and the full citation; the arrangement 
is also the same — alphabetical under the main Groups of Fungi. 
It is believed that this series in the very near future will prove 
of great advantage to working mycologists. The Supplement 
as well as the first installment is reprinted on one side of page 
only — so that a card Index can be readily prepared by cutting 
up the reprint. Mycologists appreciate the advantage of this —> 
and I would also call the attention of librarians to this, particu¬ 
larly those who are in charge of large Public Libraries and Col¬ 
lege Libraries. _ 
An Index to be of the greatest value should be kept up to 
date — and therefore guilty is the pleading if one asks as to- the 
Index to North American Mycology. But it will be resumed at 
the earliest possible moment and then an attempt made to avoid 
so great laggardness in the future. 
The assembling of delegates at Vienna soon to deliberate 
over botanical matters too numerous to mention, will it is 
hoped (?) lead to reformation in many directions — mycological, 
typographical, etc.
