EDITOR’S NOTES. 
It is very gratifying that I am able to present the likeness of 
so well known and honored pioneer mycologist as Dr. M. C. 
Cooke, whose genial countenance graces the frontispiece page of 
this number of the Journal. 
It was in 1872, that Dr. Cooke began Grevillea, a journal 
that was carried through twenty volumes, but unfortunately dis¬ 
continued in recent years. When the first volume was finished, 
he said : “ The completion of the first volume of an English 
Journal specially devoted to Cryptogamic Botany, enables us to 
congratulate our readers and ourselves upon the achievement of 
a task that many friends believed to be impossible.” To Grevil¬ 
lea we owe much both for the beginning and rapid development 
of modern mycology. Dr. Cooke can well facilitate himself on 
the gratitude all living mycologists harbor for his fruitful labors ! 
This occasion may be taken advantage of to return thanks 
to the European mycologists who have so kindly responded to 
requests for photographs for use in making the Journal of My¬ 
cology portraits and facsimile autographs. 
Those who publish a “J ourna l” and have other work to do 
besides, will commiserate with me — and they if not others, will 
grant me indulgence for not being on time with my Numbers. It 
can be guaranteed that the intention is all right — and perhaps 
soon I can catch up and have the Journal out on time. 
Again an installment is given of the Index to North Amer¬ 
ican Mycology — though this even does not bring everything up 
to date; it is hoped that working mycologists will reap some 
benefit from this part of the program which the Journal has laid 
out for accomplishment. The separate of this installment makes 
the Eighth Part reprinted on one side of the page for card index 
purposes. It may not be amiss to state again that a separate 
subscription list and mailing list pertains to this series of reprints 
— each part costing the subscriber 25 cents.
