Caltha radieans, Forst., in South Aberdeen. Fairly typical 

 specimens of this plant were gathered by me in June 1896 in a marsh 

 near the Dee not far from Invercauld. The plants in the locality were 

 uniformly rooting, but the shape of the radical leaves was somewhat 

 variable. The stem leaves were quite like those of my West Ross 

 specimens. In the vicinity ordinary Caltha palustris occurred.

Diseomyeetes in Morayshire. During the meeting of the 

 Scottish Cryptogamic Society at Fochabers on gth to nth Septem- 

 ber the following were picked up, both growing on the ground : 



Geoglossuin microsporum, Cooke and Peck. New to Scotland. 

 In Phillips's "British Diseomyeetes" it is mentioned only from Clifton 

 in England. 



Peziza Crouani, Cooke. This had previously been found in 

 Scotland only near Aberdeen, by myself. 



It may be worth adding that a careful search on the beach west 

 of Lossiemouth among Elymus and Ammophila failed to yield Peziza
