I.—NOTES ON UGANDA FUNGI. 
I.—TuHEe FunGus-FLORA OF THE FORESTS. 
T. D. Marruanp and E. M. WaKkeFIELD. 
Botanist in the Agricultural Department, Uganda, and of Mr. 
R. Dummer. The species received now number some hundreds, 
and although far from exhausting the mycology ot the region, 
they appear to be fairly representative of the types of fungus 
flora to be found, at any rate in the Uganda Province. It has 
therefore seemed advisable to place on record some of the know- 
ledge which has been acquired, the more so because, as far as we 
are aware, the only list of Uganda fungi previously published is 
that of the collection made by Scott Elliot during the Ruwenzori 
expedition. sacins 
‘The present account deals only with those sane chiefly the 
macro-forms, which occur as saprophytes in the forests. With 
the exception of the few species collected by Mr. Small on 
Mount Elgon, the fungi enumerated all come from forests lying 
in the eastern part of the Uganda Province. There are other 
large forests in the western district which have not been touched, 
but their fungi are probably not strikingly different from those 
of the forests visited. 
Ecorogicat Notes. 
(T. D. Maitland.) 
The first collections of fungi were made in several small forests 
lying within the Victoria Nyanza region, north-west of Lake 
Victoria Nyanza. The names of these forests are Wakigu, 
Namamywe, Nabaziza, Ntongo, Bumpenge, and Namutambula.
