1917- Re A AND Stelfox, — Records for Irish Mycetozoa. 65 



Near Saintfield a small quantity was discovered on straw in an open 

 field together with specimens of D. nignpes and D. sauamnlosum. 



Stemonitis splendens. — In the Clare Island Survey, Mycetozoa, pp. 16-17, 

 Miss Lister notes that all the gatherings of this species so far recorded 

 from Ireland belong to the var. Webhevi, the typical form not having 

 been found in the British Isles. We have been fortunate enough to find 

 the type and var. Webberi at Carngaver, while the var. flaccida proved 

 common. 



Coniaiviclia elcgans seems to occur \ery locally. Specimens were 

 collected at Carngaver in the months of August, September and January. 

 All occurred on pine logs. The material procured there and in Belvoir 

 Park was quite typical and could be referred with certainty to this species. 

 The gathering obtained in September at Carngaver is interesting, as 

 though the character of the branching of the columella and capillitium 

 undoubtedly made it C. elegans, the pinkish lilac colour is quite unlike 

 usual gatherings, and Miss Lister suggests it is almost worthy of being 

 named a distinct variety. 



Brefeldia maxima.^T\\e plasmodium of this species was found on the 

 stump of a lime-tree. Brought indoors, some difficulty was experienced 

 in ripening it satisfactorily, as mould appeared in a few days. In con- 

 sequence it had to be dried hurriedly, but, as Miss Lister remarked, the 

 component sporangia stood up, showing their individuality better than 

 they would in a perfectly mature specimen. 



Licea minima. — No British record of this species has been previously 

 published, which is no doubt due to the fact that the sporangia are so 

 minute in size that they may be easily overlooked in the field. Specimens 

 were discovered by us on a piece of wood at Carngaver, while, simul- 

 taneously Miss Lister identified some on a piece of wood we had sent 

 with sporangia of Arcyria cinerea from Portavo. 



Trichia coniorta. — Sporangia were abundant on small twigs — principally 

 ash— which were lying in heaps at the foot of Rungill Glen, Glenoe, in the 

 month of December. 



Arcyria ferriiginea. — This easily recognised species is no doubt more 

 common than our records would suggest. One specimen was found on 

 a discarded gate-post lying partly under a hedge on the golf links at 

 Donaghadee, while others were found in a small plantation and in woods. 



A . pomiformis. — It is a matter for surprise that no records have appeared 

 for this species before this, as we found it to be fairly common on decaying 

 branches and sticks lying among grass
