The records here given are taken from Foster's Flora Tunbridgensis, 1816 ; Berkeley, in English Flora, vol. v, pt. ii., 1836 ; Jenner, Flora of lunbridge Wells, 184.5 ; Hussey, Illustrations of British Mycology, 1847 ; Berkeley, Outlines of British Mycology, i860; Cooke, Handbook of British Fungi, 1871 ; W.T.T., List of Fungi found near Tunbridge, Gardener's Chronicle, 1875 ; Worthington G. Smith, Drawings in the British Museum, and Berkeley and Broome, in various volumes of the Annals of Natural History ; and M. C. Cooke and G. Massee in Grevillea, vols, xv.-xviii. The species scattered throughout these publications together with an extensive manuscript list compiled by Mr. E. M. Holmes of Sevenoaks, were brought together in a list published in the Journal of Botany for 1 88 1 by Mr. Thos. Howse. Since that date numerous other species have been detected in the county, so that the list now given is a fairly complete one of the fungus flora of Kent, so far as it has been investigated. It will be noted, however, from the localities given, that many parts of the county have not been thoroughly explored. The records for Sydenham are almost entirely those noted by Mr. Howse as well as many of those from Kemsing, Shoreham, Chislehurst, and Deal. The species from Tunbridge Wells were, many of them, detected by the late Mr. Thos. Walker, F.L.S., and those from Southborough by Mr. W. Fawcett, B.Sc. ; those from the neighbourhood of Greenwich by the late Mr. F. Currey, F.L.S., who published a list in the. Report of the Botanical Committee of the Greenzvich Natural History Club for December 3, 1857, those from the neighbourhood of Goudhurst by Mr. A. S. Bicknell and the Right Hon. Lord Justice Stirling, and those from the neighbourhood of Sevenoaks, Wrotham, Canterbury, Plumstead, Dover, and various other parts of the county by Mr. E. M. Holmes, F.L.S. Fuller details concerning localities, than can be given in this list, may be found in the Journal of Botany, 1879, since the object here is to indicate the distribution of species in the different sections of the county as indicated in the Flora of Kent.
