On the ground, among nettle stems, Sutton (AVk.), September. 

 This rare Fcziza, which had been previously recorded from Scot- 

 land, and from Shrewsbury, I found at Sutton in 1882, and was 

 pleased to find it again in 1884, in still greater profusion, in the 

 same locality. The cups appeared to be in close relation to the 

 rootlets of the nettles. The coltsfoot [TussUarjo Farfani) also 

 grew among them. 



■■'■■- Peziza stereicola Cooke, Grev. i. 130 (1873); iii. p. 127, pi. 40, 

 fig. 164 (1875); Stevenson, Myc. Scot. 317 (1879) ; Phillips, exs. 

 186 (1881) ; Grove, Mid. Nat. vi. 163 (1883). 



On the hymenium of a Stereum, Sutton (Wk.), September; on 



5. pwpurewii, Fen End (Wk.), August. This species had been 

 previously recorded from Scotland and from Colwyn, N. Wales. I 

 find the cups obconical, rather than globose, and covered exteriorly 

 with a curious yellow meal ; Mr. Phillips's specimens (/. c.) are 

 identical.
