PRELIMINARY LIST OF THE MICROSCOPIC
FUNGI OF ESSEX — USTILAGINEI AND
AECIDIOMYCETES.
By M. C. COOKE, M.A.., LL.D., A.L.S.
[This list has been prepared by Dr. Cooke mainly with the view
to excite some interest in an almost unknown section of our county
flora. Dr. Cooke writes :—"It is very imperfect, but it will sweep up
the scattered notes and fragments." Beginners in the study of these
beautiful and interesting plants will find coloured figures and descrip-
tions of very many of the species recorded in the following list in
Dr. Cooke's little book, "Rust, Smut, Mildew and Mould: an
introduction to the study of Microscopic Fungi" (W. H. Allen
and Co., 6s.) This book also contains directions for collecting,
examining and preserving specimens.—Ed.]
