274 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



Strobilomyees strobilaeeus in Perthshire. — During a recent 

 excursion of the Perthshire Society of Natural Science to Kincardine 

 Glen, near Auchterarder, I found a curious fungus which my father 

 tells me is the very rare Strobilomyees strobilaeeus ', Berk., and which 

 has been found before in Scotland only near Crieff. We saw one 

 specimen only. — M. Buchanan White, Annat Lodge, Perth.
