AN HISTORICAL PICTURE.
The followers of the late lamented Otto Kuntze will be pleased with
the illustration that we are enabled to reproduce from our esteemed contem-
porary "Le Pole MtHe," illustrating an important event in history of this
school of nomenclature. Perhaps the most momentous incident in the literature
of the school was the discovery that Professor McGinty made of the
new genus "Anthropomorphus," by which he was enabled to change all the
names of the Geasters and added his name to them all. We had the great
honor to have been entrusted by Professor McGinty with the original publication
of his article, and in view of its classical value we publish it again
on the previous page.
Professor McGinty discovering the genus Anthropomorphus.
The picture is a copy of an oil painting that hangs in the rooms of the Poseyville
Fungus Forage Club, and shows the Professor in the act of making his momentous discovery.
