in the room. Mounted specimens were also presented to the 

 Cabinet of the Club. 



The thanks of the Club were unanimously voted to Mr. 

 Rousselet for his communication and donation. 



Mr. E. B. Green exhibited some drawings of root hairs with 

 parasitical growths upon them. He found some time ago what 

 he thought was organisable matter on many of these root hairs, 

 but had since found that they were spores, some of which were 

 conjugating. Thinking that the subject was worth studying 

 he had made a case in which about 40 pots could be placed and 

 40 varieties grown under favourable conditions by any person 

 not possessed of a greenhouse. 



In reply to a question from Mr. Karop, Mr. Green said that 

 the drawings exhibited were made with Chinese White on black 

 paper. 



On the motion of the President the thanks of the Club were 

 voted to Mr. Green for his communication and for the very 

 beautiful drawings presented to the Club in illustration. 



Mr. Neville inquired what vegetables Mr. Green had experi- 

 mented upon ; he was not able to be present when Mr. Green's 

 paper was read. 



Mr. Green said he had experimented with all those mentioned 

 in the paper which was printed in the last number of the 

 Journal. 



Mr. Karop gave an interesting resume of the Natural History 

 of the Mycetozoa, illustrating the subject by coloured diagrams 

 and by drawings upon the board. In concluding he stroDgly 

 recommended to the attention of those who were interested in 

 the subject a little guide book, lately published by the British 

 Museum authorities, and prepared by Mr. A. Lister. It con- 

 tained descriptions of all the known British species, was well 

 illustrated, and could be obtained at the Museum for 3d. 



The President felt sure that the members would pass a very 

 hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Karop for his very interesting 

 account of this group of fungi. — Put and carried. 



Mr. Karop said that in case the next number of the Journal 

 was not out in time to let members have their cards of the 

 excursions he would announce that the first excursion of the 

 season was arranged to take place on March 28th to Chingford, 

 members to meet at Liverpool Street Station. There would be
