Les hyménomycètes **Title** *Les hyménomycètes* ou description de tous les champignons (fungi) qui croissent en France avec l'indication de leur propriétés utiles ou vénéneuses. Alençon (Ch. Thomas) 1874 \[-1893\] Oct. **Abbreviated title**: *Hyménomycètes*. **Notes** *Publ*.: The text and accompanying plates were issued in parts, the contents of which are still unknown. The plates, usually bound in a separate atlas, were published between 1874 and 1898 at irregular intervals. They were successively and repeatedly renumbered in lists distributed with them. LS cite a number of 738 coloured plates, Peltereau (1898) 715, BM 711. A single part of a new edition (Agaricinées) was published in Alençon and Paris, 1893. Peltereau (1898), alas not giving full details on contents and dates of parts, provides the most precise information so far on the constitution of the book. It consists of: 1. A volume of text of 828 pp., published in parts between 1874 and 1877 or 1878 as follows (fide Barnhart, NAF): p. \[i\]-vii, \[9\]-1761874 p. 177-5601876 p. 561-8281878 (Peltereau: 1877) These sets of pages are not the original livraisons. *Copies*: BR, L, MO, Stevenson. 2. Champignons de France. *Tableaux analytiques des hyménomycètes de France*. Alençon 1884, Oct., publ. Feb 1884, p. \[i-iv\], \[1\]-199. *Copy*: MO. This publication contains a number of descriptions of species of which a plate but no text had appeared in 1874-1877. 3. A table with a "classement des planches" plus 16 pages of text, published Feb 1890. This table contains a renumbering of the plates which was followed e.g. by Laplanche, Dictionnaire iconographique (1894). *Copy*: MO. 4. 715 (Peltereau; 713 as listed below) lithographed plates, coloured by hand. These plates appeared as follows: a) between 1874-1877 in livraisons, with or without the text mentioned above sub 1, (*133 pl.*), t.p.: "Les champignons (fungi, hymenomycètes) qui croissent en France description et iconographie propriétés utiles ou vénéneuses... Atlas de 133 planches coloriées," Paris (J. B. Baillière et fils) 1878, *Copies*: NY (added to this copy some of the planches supplémentaires), Teyler. (See below sub Les champignons.) b) between 1877 and Feb 1890 appeared 16 series of plates ("planches supplémentaires") of which the last was accompanied by the table and 16 p. of text mentioned above sub 3 (Nat. Nov.: *384 pl.*). Almost complete series of these plates at MO, NY, Stevenson. c) between 1890 until April 1896 appeared another 184 plates in 10 livraisons called "suites de planches." Later reissued in covers dated 1897. *Copy*: MO. d) In Feb 1898 a single and final livraison appeared posthumously containing 12 plates, coloured by the author but left undistributed until his death. This livraison was accompanied by another table, cited below sub. 5. (NN Feb 1898). 5. The \[second\] alphabetical table published Feb 1898 with the last livraison (see above, 4d). This table contains another set of numbers of plates which should be followed. In this table the plates are numbered 1-714. However: a) 263 and 303 form only one plate b) 534 and 655 form only one plate This table does not contain the plates for Phallus caninus (1), Cortinarius saturninus (one of 2) and C. torvus (one of 2). These three extra plates, minus the two double ones bring the total number of plates to 715. The various series and parts are listed by Naturae Novitates. The dates confirm Pelterau's findings. *Ref*.: BM 2: 677; LS 9984, 9985; NI 707; NN 1898 (sub no. 2150). - Anon., Bot. Zeit. 32: 844. 25 Dec 1874 (livr. 1) - Anon., Bot.
