Excerpt from Comparative Morphology and Biology of the Fungi, Mycetozoa and Bacteria I do not deem ii necessary to say anything in explanation of the reasons which have led to the preparation of this translation of Professor de Bars book on the morphology and biology of Fungi. Mycetozoa and Bacteria. It brings within reach of all English-speaking students the most thorough and comprehensive treatise upon these groups which has appeared in any language; and the picture that is presented of the state of our knowledge of the subject at this time, along willi tiie suggestions and indications of the lines upon which further investigation is especially wanted, will, it is to be Hoped, not only instruct readers, but also stimulate them to research. To render adequately some of the precise terminology has been a serious difüculty in the translation. The terms which have been adopted are consistently used, and the occasional notes, along with the 'Explanation of Terms' which I have added should prevent all misconception of their signification. It must be remembered that tiie definitions and synonymy given at the end of the book have reference 10 terms only as they are used in the text; they are not exhaustive. The extension of the original meaning of Berkeley's term 'sporophore' and its use as the equivalent of the German 'Fruchtträger' is a prominent innovation to which attention may be directed in this place. Several friends have been so kind as to give me their opinion and criticism upon questions of terminology, and I have specially to acknowledge suggestions front Professor Bower, Mr. A. W. Bennett, Dr. S. II. Vines, and Professor Marshall Ward; for help in some difficulties I have to thank the author himself.
