Présentation de l'éditeur

The Introduction to Cryptogamic Botany, published byB erkeley in 1857, was for a long time the only volume, in English, which could introduce the inquiring student to a systematic knowledge ofF ungi. Later on, this work was discovered to be insufficient, inasmuch as it was more suited to the requirements of an advanced student than an inquirer; so that the field was left open for a more popular and elementary work, which, under the title ofF ungi: their Mature, I nfluence, and Use?, appeared in 1875, subsequently passing through several editions. The rapid advance in knowledge of the life-history and development of these organisms during the past ten years, and especially the large scheme of classification carried out by Professor Saccardo, made it essential that, in order to keep pace with the times, a guide and introduction should be prepared and published for the use of students, which, whilst not superseding the volume of 1875 as a popular instructor, should treat the subject more after the manner of a text-book, adapted to the illustration of recent discoveries, and an explanation of the methods of classification. The following pages are the result of an effort to supply an acknowledged want, which I have executed under the impression that it is probably my last contribution of any importance to British Mycology.
