Abstract
IT is a somewhat remarkable fact that no one has hitherto written a book on the British phycomycetes, the common white moulds so often found growing on decaying substances or in water, or as parasites of a most destructive kind in various valuable plants; and the opportunity thus afforded to the writer of the present volume was a good one, of which, it is but fair to say, he has taken considerable advantage. The Ustilagineæ of this country had already been treated by Mr. Plow-right; but there are sufficient differences between the works of the two authors to make Mr. Massee's book none the less noteworthy on that account.
British Fungi: Phycomycetes and Ustilagineæ.
By G. Massee. (London: Reeve and Co., 1891.)
