An Introduction to the Study of Microscopic Fungi. By M: C.
COOKE, Author of the "British Fungi."

"There is a thoroughness about Mr. Cooke's writings which always makes his communications welcome. He is not content to gather information from cyclopædias, classify and adapt the same, and then give a new form to the thoughts of others. On the contrary, he strikes out a new course of study, and after a laborious course of analysis, produces an entirely original work, one on which nothing of the kind en before attempted."-Wesleyan Times.
