The summer and autumn of last year were unfavorable for the 

 growth of Agarics, or the number of species in the above list might 

 have been much extended. As an instance of their scarcity, I may 

 mention that I only once found three of the commonest of the 

 edible fungi, Aff. cam2)estris, the mushroom, Marasmius oreades, the 

 champignon, and Lepista personata. 



I am indebted to C. E. Broome, Esq., for the following 

 particulars :■ — Peziza rliabdosperma^ B 8^ Br., occurred many 

 years ago in Leigh Woods, but remained undescribed until 

 1876, from uncertainty as to what -P. eriolasis, B. was. The 

 former was found also at Lyons Hall, near Hereford, by Mr. 

 Plowright, in 1871. Puccinia malvacearum was not noticed 

 until it attacked the Hollyhocks a few years ago. 



Mr. Broome also tells me that he has not met with some of the 

 fungi in the above list, in this district, viz., Agaricus maximus, 

 Ag. elegans, Ag. Iris, Ag. rufo-carneus, Coprinus lagopus, Russula 

 cyanoxantha, Criharia intricata, Licea cylindrica, Cystopiis Lepigoni, 

 Valsa tetraploa, Sphaeria pellita^ and ;S^. alliariae.
