[The President2 read a short paper on the peculiarities of the Cordyceps Taylori, a fungus growing on the head of an insect which lives underground and feeds on the roots of plants, a specimen of which had been forwarded to him by Baron von Mueller from Australia.]
Cordyceps Taylori
Letter not found. The text given here is from 'Academy of Sciences', Daily evening bulletin (San Francisco), 8 February 1887. The latest date that the letter could have been sent to arrive in San Francisco in time for a paper to be read in early February would have been in the first week of January 1887. At about the same time a specimen was sent to England, see M to M. Masters, December 1886 (in this edition as 86-12-00l).
i.e. of the California Academy of Sciences.
