text. The scope of the work can be seen by the more important 
chapter headings, as Form and Character of the Mushrooms, 
Development of the Mushroom, the Agarics (and other groups), 
Collection and Preservation of the fleshy Fungi, Cultivation of 
Mushrooms, Recipes for Cooking Mushrooms, Chemistry and 
Toxicology of Fungi, Analytical Key, and Glossary. Peck’s 
fine and well-illustrated Reports, this as well as those of previous 
years, cannot be too highly commended, and fortunate are those 
who are successful in procuring copies. Besides the new species 
described in this Report, including a synoptical table of New 
York species of Trametes, pp. 173-186 are devoted to an account 
of Edible Fungi, accompanied by thirteen double-page colored 
plates. 
INDEX TO NORTH AMERICAN MYCOLOGY 
Alphabetical List of Articles, Authors, Subjects, New Species 
and Hosts,

This installment of the Index represents the mycological 
literature of North America for the entire year 1901. Authors 
are asked kindly to assist in prompt publication of the index of 
their articles hereafter by forwarding copies of Magazines which 
contain the same or of separates, with original paging, volume, 
date, etc. 
The possible omissions for 1901, or failure of prompt listing 
of articles, authors and subjects in the future, will be much 
regretted, and an earnest request is hereby expressed that atten¬ 
tion may be called immediately to such items by the authors 
themselves. 
Separates will be issued printed on one side of page only; 
the opposite blank page serving for corrections or additional 
entries or notes by those using the list. 
Working mycologists and those in charge of libraries can 
with very little labor, if desired, use the reprints for card-indexing, 
the separate items being clipped from the pages and pasted on the 
library cards. 
It is designed to issue separately, as indicated above, once 
a year, the accumulated references properly placed in alphabet¬ 
ical order.
