PARIS, Sept. 23.-There is great
exodus now in progress from Continen-
tai summer resorts, which has brought
about a considerable change in the as
pect of Paris, where the hotels are
crowded with Americans on their way

company for an engagement of six
weeks.
George T. Atkinson, professor of bot
any in Cornell university, sailed for
New York, after having passed the
summer in the vicinity of Nice and
f1eshy fungi. He has collected. studied
and photographed about three hundred
different species in various stages of
development. The plants studied are
so-called mushrooms and toadstools.
Studies of Fungi
Professor Atkinson made his investi-
cations for the purpose of comparing
the European fungus flora with those of
the United States, since many species
are common to the continents of Eu-
rope and North America. while others
are closely related. Professor Atkinson
has shipped to America about two thou
sand specimens collected by him this
summer. representing three hundred
species studied and photographed.
These will be placed in the herbarium
of the department of botany at Cornell
university, where they will be available
for further study and comparison with
American flora.
