(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Job B. Ellis was born on January 21, 1829, in Potsdam, New York, the son of Freeman Ellis and Sarah Bicknell.
The duties of a farm lad in the early part of the nineteenth century did not leave much leisure for study, but young Ellis attended the schools which were available when he could be spared from the farm and neglected no opportunity to read such books as were accessible to him. He apparently inherited an unusual interest in nature and her secrets, which was perhaps encouraged rather than discouraged by his parents and teachers. That Ellis succeeded in his efforts to acquire an education is shown by the fact that at the age of sixteen he taught a country school at Stockholm, New York. His salary was ten dollars a month, half of which was paid in cash and the balance in grain.
Having worked his way through the local academy, Ellis entered Union College at Schenectady at the age of twenty. In spite of having to teach school one winter in order to pay his expenses, he received the Bachelor's degree in June 1851.
Ellis took the courses in botany given at the college, and continued the study and collection of plants while teaching in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and at Albany, New York. Here Ellis met George H. Cook, later state geologist of New Jersey, who stimulated his interest in science. He already had an interest in fungi, but had been unable to make much progress in their study for want of books. In 1857 be chanced to see a notice of H. W. Ravenel’s Fungi Caroliniani Exsiccati and immediately began a correspondence with the author, who exchanged specimens with him and assisted him in his study.
Ellis continued teaching, but devoted all his spare time to the fungi. In 1856, after an unpleasant teaching experience in the South, due to antipathy to Northerners, he returned to his old home in New York.
In 1864 Ellis left his teaching to enter the navy, and remained in the service until 1865. He then moved from Potsdam to Newfield, New Jersey, where he purchased a small place and spent the remainder of his life. Here he devoted more of his time to the collection and study of fungi, corresponding and exchanging specimens with M. C. Cooke, C. H. Peck, W. G. Farlow, and other leading mycologists of the day.
In 1878 Ellis began the preparation and distribution of sets of North-American fungi and from that time until his death devoted all his time to Society.
Within a few years he was appointed governor of Georgia. He assumed his duties February 16, 1757, and was cordially received officially and by the colonists in general. With five hundred muskets from the home government, and presents for the Indians, he entered upon his administration with the confidence and support of the colonists assured, despite the fact that upon his arrival he had found "an almost universal discontent arising from the late proceedings and persons in power" (first letter to the Board of Trade).
From the beginning of his administration his relations with the Council and with the Assembly were usually harmonious. He showed tact in dealing with the Assembly, especially in the delicate matter of restoring to the governor and Council the right of issuing money and of auditing the accounts. To the bill limiting the duration of the Assembly to three years, and the bill for issuing paper money, however, Ellis refused to give his assent, but referred them to the British government. He convinced the home government that the irregular and unusual proceedings of the courts of the colony made necessary the appointment of the chief justice. Ellis saw the need of guaranteeing the titles to land and provided for this by law, and it was during his administration that the long-standing claim of Thomas Bosomworth and his wife was adjusted. He aided in the establishment of the Episcopal Church in the colony, supporting the law which provided for the division of the districts of the piovince into parishes and empowering church officials to assess rates for parochial activities.
Ellis also made earnest efforts to conciliate the Indians and was especially successful with the Creeks. The difficulties of his administration were increased by the French and Indian War, especially since the colony was not financially able to prepare adequately for defense. Ellis assumed responsibility for the support of some of the militia, and on his own initiative fitted out an armed vessel to protect the colony from French and Spanish attacks along the coast. There were expressions of general regret when, on account of ill health, Ellis left Georgia on November 2, 1760.
Soon after his return to England, he was appointed governor of Nova Scotia, but remained in England for the two and a half years (1761 - 1763) during which his deputy personally performed the duties of the office. He then went to Naples, Italy, where he was interested in maritime researches, and died there on December 30, 1905.

Job B. Ellis was honored by several scientific societies. In 1878, he was elected a corresponding member of Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences. In August 1882 he was elected a corresponding member of the Cryptogamic Society of Scotland and in December of the same year was elected a corresponding member of "Die Kaiserlich-Königliche Zoologisch-Botanische Gesellschaft in Wien".
Job B. Ellis was modest and retiring, and imbued with the humility characteristic of the true scientist.
On April 19, 1856, Job B. Ellis married Arvilla J. Bacon, who proved a valuable assistant in his mycological work.
