Excerpt from Ohio Mycological Bulletin, 1903, Vol. 1 Next year. - Thanks are extended to all who have taken interest in the bulletin and mycological matters in general, and now also especi ally to those who have kindly sent the subscription for 1904! I have lately persuaded myself to say that the bulletin will be issued on the same basis next year, price 10 cents. This amount pays but a portion of the cash expense, but the generosity of interested persons with means will doubtless enable me to defray all costs. Some friends in foreign countries have requested the copies as issued, and for them I am obliged to fix the price at 25 cents, to cover postage. Those sending 10 cents now will receive all the 1903 Numbers issued - as long as copies are available. The above announcement has been called forth prematurely though the contribution box is already open; other numbers of the bul letin will appear this year. The poli-y-pores, or pore-fungi. - Tl'lis large group is called Pol-y' - oo-ra-cc-ae (sound the y like short because there is. A honey-combed fruiting surface on the lower side of the plants; in other words, there are many pores, which is the real meaning of the name of the group. They are also called Bracket-fungi or Shelf-fungi, alluding to the general form and method of attachment to trees, logs and stumps, where most of the species are to be found. They are the com monest of all fungi and everyone who ever went to the woods has seen them. The cuts shown will give a fair idea of some of the striking forms - but the subject will be taken up in a later bulletin.
