house by the Rt. Hon. and Ven. Lord Saye and Sele, to commemorate the poet’s 
visits to Brinsop Court. A visit was afterwards paid to Brinsop Church, which 
was kindly shown by the Rev. W. R. Lawrence, the Vicar. It is an interesting 
example of late Norman, and Early Decorated work. Its chief feature is a twelfth 
Century group of St. George (the patron Saint) and the dragon, with several 
arch stones boldly carved with the zodiacal signs, and the figures of men and ani- 
mals so much used at that date. There is a wooden belfry, a fine simple timber 
porch and two good figures in old glass, with divers coats of arms in the east 
window. Near the church and all round it certain irregularities exist on the sur- 
face of the ground which will be referred to further on. 
The fungus hunters meantime had well searched the Camp and its embank- 
ments. There had been a considerable variety found during the week, although 
the numbers were few. The public will, of course, be all anxiety to learn their 
names, and mycologists will be able to judge of the peculiarities of the year, if a 
few of the leading groups are given. 
The Lactarius group was represented by turpis, torminosus, insulsus, blen- 
nius, circellatus, uvidus, pyrogalus, flecuosus, chrysorheus, piperatus, pargamenus, 
vellereus, deliciosus (good, as its name indicates, if cooked & la tourtiére), pallidus, 
trivialis, glyciosmus, vietus, subdulcis, serifluus, quietus, rufus, mitissimus, and 
Uilacinus. 
The CorTINARIUS group was represented by russus, calochrous, cerulescens, 
collinitus, elatior, tabularis, ochroleucus, caninus, cinnamomeus, torvus, hinnuleus, 
armillatus, paleaceus, hceematochelis, impennis, acutus, cinnabarinus, triumphans. 
The Russvta group presented specimens of nigricans, adusta, furcata, depal- 
lens, lepida, rubra, Queletii, vesca, cyanoxantha, fatens, emetica, ochroleuca, fra- 
gilis, fellea, and alutacea. Upon a decaying Russula nigricans was also found the 
interesting plant, Vyctalis parasitica. 
A generous public must have mercy on the compositors, and though numer- 
ous other families might be given, a few more only must be named. Five speci- 
mens of Strobylomyces strobiliformis were found, always rare and interesting. A 
Polyporus intybaceus was sent from Cornwall; Boletus bovinus and variegatus, 
came from Guildford; and Boletus cyanescens was brought from’ the Wrekin. 
Pleurotus dryinus and subpalmatus were found in good form here. Omphalia cam- 
panella ; Collybia ambustus ; Pholiota militaris; Flammula lentus and flavidus ; 
and here the list shall close. 
At two o’clock most of the visitors were assembled in front of the Court to 
hear the following paper from Dr. Buti :—
