The season l'.i32 \^;^s one (lisappoiiiting to the student of tiesliy funyi 

 in this reiriiin. 'I'he iisn;il sTninncr ;hk1 tail study of this group liad to be 

 liiven ui' :tini, st cutirely.' On tlie other hand, we obtained a very large 

 nunili'v oi' parasitic species. Only a few of tliese liave as yet been olassiaed. 



Some of the c'lninidn economic ]iarasitic species have appeared in this 

 ueiLihhorJiood this year as unusually destru(ti\e. The blight of tomatoes 

 ( Septoria lycopersici), has l)een severe, as have both the Septoria and 

 Gloeosporiuui Itlights of gooseberry .and currants. These bushes have, in 

 many cases, been completely defoliated, in July and August and aside from 

 a few leaves at the tip, very little development followed. Oat snmt was 

 gener.ally prevalent and the crop loss large in the southern counties. 



Lactarius indigo was found for the first time and in a location care- 

 fully hunted over for the last six years.
