A new clartification of fungi has been recently publiflied 
at Leiplic, (1805,) according to the method of Perfoonia, 
by I. B.de Albertiniand L. D. de Schweinitz. The fpe- 
cies and varieties they have added are 127 in number, on 
twelve beautifully coloured plates. Tlie whole is divid¬ 
ed into two dalles and fix orders. Their new genera ap¬ 
pear to be the following : 
33. Stilbofpora. 54. tlyloma. 55. Naemafpora, 56. 
Geartrum. 57. Bovilfa. 58. Tulofloma. 59. Sclero¬ 
derma. 60. Pifolithus. 61. Lycogala. 62. Phyfarum. 
63. Trichia. 64. Arcyria. 65. Lycea. 66. Tubulina. 
67. Onygena. 68. Trichoderma. 69. Conoplea. 70. 
Amanita. 71. Siftotrema. 72. Merifma. 73. Geo- 
glofl'uni. 74. Spathularia. 75. Leotia. 76. Morchel-
