Abstract
THERE is a great demand among university students in botany for modern text-books dealing with the fungi. Broadly speaking, two works are needed : a relatively small book dealing briefly but clearly with the morphology and reproduction and also discussing the physiology, ecology and cytogenetics of fungi, and a larger work, probably running into several volumes, dealing with the structure, reproduction and"taxonomy of fungi along the lines of Fritsch's classic on algæ.
