leaves, named Pcziza incarnata, hitherto only found by Mr. 

 Jerdon. Venturia atramentaria found by Dr. Buchanan White 

 on living leaves of Vaccinium uliginosum ; also Vibrissea Mar- 

 garita, found by the same gentleman. Peziza albo-spadicea 

 (Greville), which I have had recently sent me from the United 

 States. Feziza livida (Sch.) — The true plant was found in 

 Scotland by Sir William Jardine. Peziza Polytrichi Schum. 

 — The only genuine plants yet found in Britain are the Scotch 

 specimens. Pcziza Dalmeniensis, an elegant golden yellow 

 Peziza, found on the ground amongst old nettles at Dalmeny. 

 The little Peziza Grevillei, on stems of Umbellifers, which 

 Greville mistook for P. nidulus. Peziza subtilissima, so like 

 P. calycina, except in fruit, is probably equally common on firs. 



The rarest of our British species of Puccinia is P. Rhodiolce, 

 found on Scdum rhodiola, in Clova and Glen Callater, and, I 

 believe, nowhere else. It was first discovered by Gardiner. 

 Ustilago vinosa on the flowers of Oxyria, found at Glendole, in 

 August, is another of Gardiner's species, and one of the rarest 

 species of Ustilago. Hydnangium carneum has been found by 

 Dr. Dickson at the Botanic Garden, Glasgow, and hitherto in 

 no other station in Britain. Subterranean fungi are apparently 

 rare in the North. 



Eustcgia arundinacea, Fr., is certainly an interesting fungus, 

 found in Scotland by the Rev. J. Fergusson, * but apparently 

 not yet in England. The same gentleman has also found 

 several other fungi, as yet confined to Scotland. It may be of 

 interest to note that I found Puccinia Pcrgussoni many years 

 ago in North Wales, as Puccinia Andersoni was also found ori- 

 ginally by Mr. Gardiner. 



Amongst the Fungi collected at Appin there are several not 

 yet recorded from any other place in Britain, as for instance : 

 Stictis pallida P., Stictis Microstoma, Hclotium buccina Fr., 

 Helotium sclerotioidcs B., Hclotium agaricinum B., Puccinia 

 clandcstina Carm., Helm in thosporium subulatum N., Sporotrichum 

 inosculans B., Peziza mclaxantha Fr. All of these should be 

 sought again. Amongst Capt. Carmichael's specimens there 

 were apparently fragments and indications of other species, too 

 immature or insufficient for description. 



It is scarcely necessary to include here the more recently 

 discovered or described species, such as those found by Mr. 

 Jerdon, or those collected by mycologists still living, except
