JOURNAL OF MYOOLOGY, 
[VOL. II, 
Some of the Phsenogamia bore his name as author, while it is esti¬ 
mated that 500 new species of fungi were described either by himself or 
by “Berk. & Curtis.” Ilis account of the “ Woody Plants” of his 
state is full of useful information, and he was ever on the alert to give 
useful information and to do good to the people of his state; not that he 
might get a reputation, but simply for their sakes. 
The portrait accompanying the sketch above referred to, from the 
plate in possession of Pr. T. P. Wood, shows a full face of character 
and refinement. Activity of intellect, keen, intense nervous force, and 
uncompromising honesty are everywhere expressed in it. 
We append a list of his papers on mycology, printed in Sillimau’s 
Journal and the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences. The Bibliography 
of a few other papers will be given in the next Journal :
