Item description from seller

Thick 8vo. iii, 793 pp. 41 plates, errata leaf laid in. Original brown cloth, black-stamped cover and spine titles; rear inner hinge tape repair, spine ends frayed. Bookplate and ex-library ink stamps from Throop College of Technology & Cal Tech. Very good. "The Perisporiaceae include about three hundred species, many of which are but little known, while none have been cytologically investigated. They develop as epiphytes on the leaves or young parts of plants, or occur on decaying plant substances. They usually possess a dark-coloured filamentous mycelium . . . " [Gwynne-Vaughan]. "In the present state of mycological knowledge, the classification of North American Pyrenomycetes is attended with many difficulties; chief which is the fact that many of the published diagnoses are too imperfect to enable one to recognize the species, of which many of the types are either lost or practically inaccessible. Our knowledge of these species is derived from the brief descriptions in Grevillea and the supplementary notes by Dr. M.C. Cooke, who has also examined and determined, by comparison with the original types, many of the species included in the present work." / preface. "The stems of the Corylus are affected with one of the Pyrenomycetes. Cryptospora anomala, Pk. The fungus is described in "North American Pyrenomycetes," by Ellis and Everhart, p. 531. It attacks Corylus Americana, but appears to be worst on the European varieties. . . " [written by Albert F. Woods]. See: Andrew S. Fuller, The Nut Culturist: A Treatise on Propagation, Planting and . . . , 1896. See: Helen Gwynne-Vaughan, Fungi: Ascomycetes, Ustilaginales, Uredinales, 2010, p. 90.
