FARLOW. The present list is a continuation of Bibliographical Contributions no. 25, which included the titles of works on the fungi of the United States and the northern parts of North America published prior to 1887. The plan followed is the same as that of the paper just mentioned, the object being to give additions and corrections to be made to the list of works previously published with the addition of titles of works which appeared in 1887. The original list with the present supplement is as complete a presentation of the subject as the writer is able to make, and as he does not propose to continue the work further it is to be iioped that some other person or persons will undertake the task hereafter.

Medical Repository. Second Hexade. V. 350-356, New York, 1808. On pp. 355, 356, is an enumeration of 17 new genera with brief remarks and names of some of the species included under the genera. The author states that he " shall describe in this work nearly 850 species or varieties of American mushrooms, of which one half will be new orders, and most of them elucidated by plates." 505°. Essential generic and specific characters of some new genusses and species of plants ob- served in the United States of America in 1803 and 1804. By Mr. C. G. Rafinesque-Schmaltz. In a communication to Dr. Mitchell, dated Palermo, Sept. 1, 1807. Medical Repository. Second Hex- ade. V. 356-363, New York, 1808. On pp. 362, 363, are descriptions of 20 new species of fungi, principally Pezizae and Clavariae. Neither this paper nor the preceding have any scientific value. After no. 523* insert the following : — Richardson, (Sir) John. 523b. Remarks on the climate and vegetable productions of the Hudson's Bay countries. Edin- burgh Phil. Jour. XII. 197-231.

This work, whose author lived about the 16th century, is given in Kingsborough's Antiquities of Mexico. Vol. VII. London. 1831. In the llth book, 7th chapter, pp. 369-394, is an account of plants, including some fungi. According to Mr. W. R. Gerard, who has called our attention to this title, this is probably the earliest account of North American fungi. There are brief descriptions with Aztec names of 12 species, one of which appears to be Lycoperdon giganteum and another probably Agaricus muscarius. After no. 528 insert the following : — Riley, Charles Valentine. The cabbage Plusia. Kept. U. S. Dept. Agr. for 1883, pp. 119-122. On p. 121 is a notice of a disease of Plusia Brassicae caused by Batrytis Rileyi Farlow, of which a description is given. After Schmidt, J. C., insert the following : — Schoepf, Johann David. Wunsiedel, 8 March, 1752. fAnspach, 10 Sept. 1800. 552a. Materia medica americana, potissimum regni vegetabilis. Erlangen. 1787. 8°. pp. 170. On p. 159 is an account of Agaricus coriaceus, Ag. Auri- cula-judae, Lycoperdon Tuber, and L. Bocista, taken from Gronovius's Flora Virginica, 2d ed. See title no. 337. In this work the author's name is given Schoepf but in other works it is Schoepff. No. 563. In the note, Blastema should be Bla- stesis. The statement that this species was not published is incorrect. See "A fungus on the leaves of pear trees," by W. H. Seaman, in Am. Month. Micr. Jour. III. 169, 170. Sept. 1882. To Seymour, A. B., add : See Burrill, T. J. After no. 568* insert the following : — Seymour, Arthur Bliss. 568b. Rusts of pomaceous fruits. Prairie Farmer, p. 648, fig. 1-4. 2 Oct. 1886. An account of the Gymno sporangia and Roesteliae of the Eastern United States, including a letter from J. G. Vaughn concerning forms observed in Marion Co., 111. Same in sub- stance as no. 567*. After no. 598 insert the following : — Tournefort, Joseph Pitton DE. Aix, Provence, 5 June, 1656. fParis, 28 Dec. 1708. 598*. Institutiones rei herbariae. Editio altera, etc. Vol. III. pp. 697. PI. 476. Paris, 1700. On pp. 560, 563, 565, 666, are references to 5 fungi from America, 2 of them taken from Plukenet and one from Mo- rison. The species are also given in the third edition on the same pages, except 666. After no. 611 insert the following : — Tucker man, Edward. 6na. Note on Geaster quadrifidus. Am. Jour. Sci. and Arts, XXXVI. 380. July, 1839. Brief note stating that he has found this species in Cam- bridge, Mass. After Wilkes Expedition insert the follow- ing: — Williams, Stephen W. 627*. Report on the indigenous medical botany of Massachusetts. Trans. Am. Med. Ass. II. 863- 927. 1849. On p. 924, under the heading "Mushrooms," is note on Helvetia amara and Boletus Laricis, of no value. In Supplement, p. 35, 19th line from bottom, instead of " See title no. 22" read " See title no. 227." The statement under FUNGI EUROPAEI Exsic- CATI that "the only part of the series which con- tains American specimens is that from Cent. 27 on " is incorrect. In the appendix to Cent. 9 of the HERBARIUM VIVUM MYCOLOGICUM is Stereum, fasciatum from North America. The attention of mycologists should be called to the Contribution to American Bibliography of In- sect Diseases in Psyche, V. 15-20, 45, 46, Jan — April, 1888, which gives a number of references to titles, partly botanical and partly entomological, which cannot well be introduced into the present list.
