Excerpt from Researches on Fungi These pages contain a contribution to the physiology, mor phology, and physics of reproduction in the Hymenomycetes, and also a record of some observations upon the discharge of spores of 'ascomycetes and of Pilobolus. Naturally many problems have been left unsolved, but I hope that the new data obtained will give an added interest to some of our commonest plants. The delicate adaptations of structure to function, as revealed by a study of the fruit-body of a Mushroom, a Coprinus comatus, or a Polyporus, have provided me with no small cause for wonder ment and delight, and they seem well worthy of the attention of all those who desire to understand more fully the vegetable world by which they are surrounded. The value of the more purely physical work must be left to physicists to decide. How ever, as showing how closely the various branches of science may be knit together, it is not without interest that the first direct i test of Stokes' Law for the fall of microsc0pic spheres in air has been carried out with the help of a lowly Cryptogam.
