EDITOR'S NOTES. 
Much belated, and to avoid still greater delay by reason of 
incomplete copy, this number of the Journal is somewhat 
abridged from the usual size, but all copy furnished will be taken 
care of in the future. 
We begin in this number the publication of Professor Mor¬ 
gan’s paper on the North American species of Marasmius, and 
will resume the same in the next. The all-important work for 
the American mycologist is to study critically our species of 
Fungi. In the near future it is hoped that such studies may be 
found on many pages of the Journal. In fact, such work, of 
monographic character, and the complete indexing of North 
American Mycology, are the two most important lines for which 
the Journal stands. However, the Notes and articles especially 
prepared in the interest of beginners are much desired. With 
the co-operation of many competent mycologists this periodical 
can be a real Journal of Mycology. 
A few specialists may possibly be discommoded by the 
charge to which I plead guilty of not keeping actually up to date 
with the Index to North American Mycology. Yet, after all, 
when insurmountable obstacles are kept in mind, I am sure of 
being but little criticised. My Index is useful to many, to begin¬ 
ners in systematic work, indispensable as a card index in well- 
regulated libraries; yet, for limited groups, or special purposes, 
the worker will in many cases of course be under the necessity of 
making his own peculiar index.
