iS6 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



wood near Tolquhon, a ruined castle in the parish of Tarves in North 

 Aberdeen. The ordinary form of J?. idceits was plentiful about a 

 hundred yards away ; but I saw none close to the variety. JAMES

Scottish Myeetozoa. In a paper, ' Notes on Mycetozoa,' by 

 Mr. Arthur Lister, F.R.S. (in the "Journal of Botany," 1901, pp. 

 81-90, pi. 419), the following are recorded from Scotland : 



Badhamia versicolor, n. sp. (I.e. p. 8 1, pi. 419, fig. 2). Figured and 

 described from specimens sent from near Rhynie, Aberdeenshire, 

 by Rev. W. Cran. Found growing "in tolerable abundance," in 

 September 1899, on trunks covered with moss and lichens, especially 

 with Physcia parietina, at breast height from the ground. It appears 

 to be allied on the one hand to B. hyalina, and on the other to B. 

 nitens. The sporangia are sessile, subglobose, .3 to .5 mm. diam., 

 gray. 



B. marina, Rost. Sporangia developed from a yellow plasmodium 

 found on Sphagnum on an open moor near Arisaig. 



Physamm contextum, Rost., var. splendens, De Bary. Near 

 Rhynie, in October 1900, W. Cran. 



Ph. straminipes, Lister. On straw near Rhynie, in August 1899, 

 W. Cran. 



Chondrioderma simplex, Schrcet. Sporangia developed from a 

 yellow-brown plasmodium found on Sphagnum on a common near 

 Aberdeen in July 1899. 



Arcyria (Erstedtii, Rost. Woods of Humbie, Haddington, July 

 1899. 



Prototrichia flagellifera, Rost. Near Rhynie, W. Cran. 



Angelica arehangeliea and Lamium Isevigatum in Midlothian. 



At Hallyards, near Kirkliston, on i5th June last, the Edinburgh 

 Field Naturalists found Angelica arehangeliea growing wild in con- 

 siderable quantity and seemingly naturalised. Boswell Syme says 

 that he found it growing in Fisherrow Links, but failed to find it in 

 succeeding years. Hallyards would therefore seem to be the only 

 locality in Scotland where the plant has been naturalised. Laminm 

 Icevigatum was also found in the neighbourhood, but at a consider- 

 able distance from the spot where it has hitherto been found.
