. Danish fungi as represented in the herbarium of E. Rostrup;. Fungi. 16. C. F. SCHL'. From an engraving. fungi of Schumacher's were new to science at that time, and his "Enumeratio" is of great importance to mycology in general, as also to the knowledge of the distribution of Danish fungi in particular. No other work gives, at the same time, so much information in this respect until, 100 years later, Rostrup published the second volume of his "Vejledning i den dan= ske Flora" (R04a). Rostrup is justified in maintaining that the "Enumeratio" is an original of high repute, and a critical revisal of Schumacher's work would solve many proplems. Several of the descriptions of Schumacher's are up to this day repeated unaltered in manuals etc. without its being quite known whether they are autonomous species which have never been found again, or unrecognizable descriptions of species which are well known from other places. No doubt some of both are to be found; it has also happened that younger authors have wrongly identified fungi which they have found themselves and furnished with new and complete de; scriptions with the species of Schumacher, f. inst. the fungus now called Amphisphaeria papillata (Schum.) de Not. has nothing to do with Schl'macher's Sphaeria papillata. Rostrup has occupied hims self very much with the revisal of Schumacher's "Reliquiae" (R 85 g 6i 92 g 69), he has compared Schumacher's text in the "Enumeratio" 1) with the fungi of the herbarium left by Schumacher which is still found in a comparatively good condition in the Botanical Museum, 2) with the hand=drawn and ^painted pictorial work "Flora Hafni« ENSis FUNGI deliniati", which is also found in the Museum in three volumes in folio, and 3) with the figures of fungi of the "Flora Das nica" which we know originate from Schumacher, 414 in all. The said pictures of Schumacher's have been submitted to the examination of El.
