Hall, See also:Northampton-See also:shire, and educated at See also:Rugby and See also:Christ's See also:College, See also:Cambridge, of which he became an honorary See also:fellow. Taking See also:holy orders, he became See also:incumbent of Apethorpe in 1837, and See also:vicar of Sibbertoft, near See also:Market Harborough, in 1868. He acquired an enthusiastic love of cryptogamic See also:botany in his See also:early years, and soon was recognized as the leading See also:British authority on See also:fungi and plant See also:pathology. He was especially famous as a systematist in mycology, some 6000 See also:species of fungi being credited to him, but his Introduction to Cryptogamic Botany, published in 1857, and his papers on " See also:Vegetable Pathology " in the Gardener's See also:Chronicle in 1854 and onwards, show that he had a very broad grasp of the whole domain of See also:physiology and See also:morphology as understood in those days. Moreover, it should be pointed out that Berkeley began his See also:work as a See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)

As a microscopist he was an assiduous and accurate worker, as is shown by his numerous drawings of the smaller See also:algae and fungi, and his admirable dissections of mosses and hepaticae. His investigations on the See also:potato See also:murrain, caused by Phytophthora infestans, on the See also:grape See also:mildew, to which he gave the name Oidium Tuckeri, and on the pathogenic fungi of See also:wheat See also:rust, See also:hop mildew, and various diseases of See also:cabbage, See also:pears, See also:coffee, onions, tomatoes, &c., were important in results bearing on the See also:life-history of these pests, at a See also:- TIME (0.

time when very little was known of such matters, and must always be considered in any See also:historical See also:account of the remarkable advances in the See also:biology of these organisms which were made between 185o and 1880; and when it is remembered that this work was done without any of the See also:modern appliances or training of a properly equipped laboratory, the real significance of Berkeley's See also:pioneer work becomes apparent. It is as the founder of British mycology, however, that his name will live in the history of botany, and his most important work is contained in the account of native British fungi in See also:Sir W.
