XXX PROCEEDINGS, 



A few of the party then inspected the ruins of the house built 

 by Sir Mcholas Bacon, and endeavoured to find the site of the 

 still earlier house built by Eobert de Gorham, while the rest 

 returned direct to St. Albans. 



PiELD Meeting, 13th Octobee, 1892. 

 BROXBOUENE AND WORMLEY. 



Only once previously, five years ago to the day, has a Fungus 

 Foray been held in the eastern part of the county, and then in 

 the same neighbourhood as this. On that occasion 74 species of 

 fungi were found, this time the number was doubled, but this 

 result is chiefly owing to work done in the morning, for about 

 80 species were found in "VVormley Wood by a few members 

 who met by special arrangement before the officially-announced 

 foray commenced. 



The meeting was under the direction of Mr. Henry Warner, 

 and the species of fungi collected were determined by Mr. George 

 Massee, of Kew, who accompanied the party. 



In the afternoon the walk was from Broxboume Station by 

 Baas Hill and St. John's Well into Cowheath Wood and Brox- 

 boume Wood, returning to the station by Wormley, where Mr. 

 Warner entertained the party at tea. 



The following list comprises 149 species (with two varieties), 

 of which 51 species, to which an asterisk (*) is affixed (and both 

 varieties), are new to the county. The rarer forms are indicated 

 by an obelisk (f).
