The Scottish Naturalist. 255 



— I saw it during the past year, in three widely-separated localities, in the same 

 sort of habitat in each case — in woods on the decayed stumps of felled trees. 

 The localities were — Roxburgh Barnes, Riddell, and Harpertoun. — Andw.

New Scottish Fungi.— In the 'Annals and Magazine of Natural History' 

 for January, Messrs Berkeley & Broome give a new instalment of their 

 "Notices of British Fungi." As Mr Stevenson will, it is to be hoped, be able 

 soon to publish his catalogue of Scottish Fungi, we need not do more than 

 mention the names of the new additions to our Scottish list : some of these, 

 it will be seen, have already been noticed in this Magazine. Mr Stevenson's ad- 

 ditions to the list are as follows : Agariais magnificiis, Fr. ; *A. hcematites, 

 B. and Br.; A. cenmis, P.; A. zephirics, Fr. ; A. a?nictus, Fr. ; A. stricepileus, 

 Fr. ; A. pictiis, Fr. ; A. cethiops, Fr. ; A. didcamarics, P.; A. Trinii, Wein ; A. 

 CHpidaris, Bull; A. scobhiaceus, Fr. ; A. sphinctrinus, Fr.; * Hyg7'ophorus 

 piilveruleiitus, B. and Br. ; H. subradiatiis, Fr. ; H. glazcco-nitens, Fr. ; Rus- 

 sula semic7'ema^ Fr. ; R. xerampelina, Schceff. ; R. consobrina, Fr. ; Maras- 

 mius torqtcescens, Quelet ; * Porothelium Stevensoni, B. and Br. ; * Hydnum 

 li?7ionicolor, B. and Br. ; *II. mtiltiforme, B. and Br. ; H. nodulostwt, Fr. ; 

 Grandinia cmstosa, Fr., var. lignosa ; G. vmcida, Fr. ; *Cladoderris 

 minima, B. and Br.; Corticiujn ciiinamomeum, Fr, ; C. violacea-Hvidum, Fr. ; 

 * Glceosporinm viola;, B. and Br.; Stysanus putredimis, Ca. ; *StilbiLm Steven- 

 S07ti, B. and Br. ; * Dadylitmi cei"ui7iu77i, B. and Br. ; Muco7' stolo7iifer, Ehrb. ; 

 Eutypa aspe7'a, Fr. ; *Sp/iceria Steve7tsoni, B. and Br.; * Ascochyta 77ietuloespora, 

 B. and Br. ; making in all thirty-seven species, of which eleven are new to 

 science, and showing that Mr Stevenson is as indefatigable an investigator as 

 ever. Mr Keith seems to have exhausted the Aga7'ici7ii of his district, as 

 most of his discoveries are in other families, as will be seen from the follow- 

 ing five species, of which three are new to science : Faiins patella7'is, Fr. ; 

 Polyporus leuco)7ielas, Fr. ; * Po7-otheliu)7i Keithii, B. and Br.; *Stilbu7/i 

 orbicula7'e, B. and Br.; *Diat7ype co7-a77iblycola, B. and Br. Since Mr 

 Anderson left Menmuir, he has neglected the Fungi in favour of another order, 

 so that only three species (of which two are new) fall to his share : Aga7'icus 

 a77i77iophilus, Mont, and Dur.; *Cyphella stnppea, B. and Br.; * Proto77iyces 

 co77iari, B. and White. Other species noticed are Agariais Vahlii, Schum., at 

 Dunkeld, by Mr C. M'Intosh; * Po7'otheliu7/i conficsimi, B. and Br. ; Glen Tanner 

 (collector not mentioned); and /s-«;'/^ spJmigiwi, Schw., in Kincardineshire, 

 by Mr Taylor. To my own share, seventeen species (five new) fall : Aga7'i- 

 cus plicosus, Fr. (also found by Mr Stevenson subsequently); A. U77ibilicatiis, 

 Schsefif. ; A. 7-e7iifo7'7}iis, Fr. (also found by Mr Stevenson); A. nigi'ella, P.; 

 A. ihraushis, Kalkb. ; Hygropho7'iis ci7ic7'eus, Fr. ; Ma7'as77iius sco7'tetcs, Fr. ; 

 Cortici7i77i citri7i7i77i, P.; C. Ii77iitahi77i, Mont.; * Typhula graciUi77ia, White; 

 * Bact7'idiu7}i aaitian, B. and White; Cyli7id7-ospo7-iic77i lo7igipes, Preuss. ; 



* Milesia polypodu,Vsh.\\.Q. (by some lapsus cala77ii this appears in the " Notices " 

 as M. polygo7ii, and the habitat of No. 171 7, Dactyliiwi spi7'ale, is given for it); 

 * Dactyliii77i spi7'ale, B. and White ; *D. 77iodestu77iy B. and White; Helvetia 

 at7'a, Kon. ; Spha:7'ia 77iacula7is, Desm. 



Ninety-nine new British species in all are given in the "Notices," of which 

 no less than sixty-five are from Scotland. Of the twenty-nine species new 

 to science, twenty-two are Scottish. These are indicated above by having an 



* affixed. — F. Buchanan White.
