Foreword Fungi and men exist in an interesting love-hate association as friends and as foes. Any information on these curious creatures of evolution is boundt o be important. In Jammu & Kashmir, fungi have evolved under diverse macro and micro climatic situations and have a vital relevance to allp ursuits of sustenance. The compilation of information on fungal flda of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh is ther~fnroa timolv and commendable job done by Dr. G.N. Qasba and DR. A.M. Snah. The good effort of the authors is sure to win them the admiration of scientists' communtty. I hope that the book will be an useful aid as reference material to students, teachers and researchers. It is expected that the authors will continue to update the compilation from time to time.

Host Index 3. References 4, Important Periodicals 5, Glcssary The Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh represent an interesting and diverse habitat of rich and heterogenous life forms. These three regions surrounded by North Western Himalayas in Jammu and Kashmir form a transition region of diverse physical features as well. On the basis of altitude (ranges betyeen 215-7012 metres above mean sea level) and climate, the entire region is represented by four zones, i.e., subtropical zone (Jammu region), Intermediate zone (Poonch, Rajouri & Doda), temperate zone (Kashmir valley) and cold arid zone (Kargil, Leh and Gilgat) Fungl of Jammu, Kashmlr & Ladakh The book includes list of fungal species (in alphabetical order) recorded from time to time from Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh regions mostly on plant species growing under nature (wild) and manmade habitats (Agriculture, Horticultural and Floriculture). The most of the fungal species reported in the book cause diseases of varying incidence, besides quite a good number of these live as Saprobes or in Symbiosis r with other plant species. The information on fungi recorded from Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh was scattered in various scien- tific journals, books and other reference materials (most of which are out of print). The authors have attempted to present this voluminous and useful information under one cover. The book presents following sections: Section I List of fungal species in alphabetical order, with brief texonomic information (i.e. class, order and family). Besides information is also provided with regard to hostlhabitat and place of occurrence along with reference number which could lead the reader to originalldethiled publication (Ref. Sec- tion Ill). Section I1 Presents the hostlhabitat index. Section Ill Detailed references, referred in the Section 1, with a particular number against a given fungal species: Section IV Brief description of Technical terms used in study of fungilplant patholoqy (Glossary) Section V List of important Journals (Mycologylplant patho- logy). The information contained in this book would be useful to experts in Agriculture, Horticulture, Floriculture and Forestry in particular to mymlogists and plant pathologists. Authors would welcome suggestions and criticism for improvement in the future editions of the book. List of hosts and substrata 1. Achorion Renlak., Deutro., Moniliales.
