| Illustrations | Line drawings illustrating the great differences between fresh material and the state in which it is usually observed. |
| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | An important paper and well-argued paper championing the use of water as a mycological mountant, to observe fungal cells in a living state. The author also favours Lugol’s Iodine over Melzer’s for ascomycetes. |
