Extract

In Meschinelli's Iconographia (5) mention is made, and a short description given, of eleven species of fossil Phycomycetous fungi. Since the publication of this book, additions to the list have been made by Oliver (7), Weiss (12), Magnus (4), and the present writer (3). Altogether, therefore, fifteen species have been described which could definitely be assigned to the Phycomycetes. With such small data at our disposal it is evident that the time is not yet ripe for the framing of general propositions regarding the history of the Phycomycetes in past ages, and more especially as the information that we possess concerning several of these fifteen species is very meagre.
