Kelvingrove Park is the only ODe to which anything like regular 

 attention has been devoted, and of which a record has been kept. 

 Should any one be disposed to take any of the other parks under 

 his care, I shall gladly give what help I can in identifying 

 species, and warmly welcome another w^orker in this interesting, 

 but nesrlected field. 



The record for Kelvingrove extends to upwards of fifty species, 

 comprised in nineteen genera and fifteen subgenera — a number 

 of the species being not at all common, four of them rare, and one 

 yet unidentified, and which may prove to be new. 



A large proportion of these belong to the Hymenomycetes, and 

 of these twenty-five are Agarics, representatives of about one-half 

 the subgenera in the British lists. 



Of thePolypori there are six — Polyporusfrondosus,^Y.,\\o\YQrvQY, 

 being a disputed identification, one high authority maintaining 

 that it is a form of P. giganteus, Fr. 



The only British Fistulina — Fistulina hepatica, Fr. — has been 

 found, and, of course, the ubiquitous Merulius lachrymans, Fr., 

 had to be turned out of the Museum; while two Stereums and one 

 Clavaria are in the record, along with Dacrijmyces stillatus, ISTees, 

 which closes our list of Hymenomycetes. 



Of the Gasteromycetes, the second great family, we have only 

 three, each representative of a difierent order and genus — Phallus 

 imvudicus, Linn., LycoiJerdon gemmatum, Fr., and Crucibulum 

 vulgare, Tul. 



Of the third and fourth families we have i^o record — the Conio- 

 mycetes and the Hyphomycetes ; but of the fifth, the Ascomycetes, 

 we have two species of Peziza, one Encoelia, one Xylaria, and one 

 Nectria. 



I append a complete list of species found in the park, identified 

 by Professor King or myself, all those doubtful or unknown 

 having been verified by Dr. Stevenson, Dr. Keith, or Dr. Cooke, 

 but the following:; notes on a few which are uncommon or rare mav 

 be interestincr : — 



Fistulina hepatica, Fr., appears in ]\Ir. J. M. Campbell's notes 

 as having been found on an oak cut down on what is known as 

 the Oak Walk. It was identified by some of the mycologists 

 attending the Biitish Association meeting in Glasgow in 1876. 

 The same authorities found, and pointed out to Mr. Campbell,
