When the teacups had been set aside, and a pause had occurred in the discussion 

 of some of the funguses discovered, the reading of scientific papers began again, for 

 they had occupied the two previous evenings also. The following papers were 

 read at one or other of the evening meetings during the week : — 



"Notes on the Edible Fungi of North Italy " : by Mr. A. S. Bicknkll. 



"On Colour Nomenclature in Fungi": by Mr. Henet T. Wharton, M.A., 

 &c., Oxon. 



" The British Species of Nidularia " : by Mr. Wm. Phillips, F.L.S., &c. 



"On the Spermogonia of the Uredines": by Mr. Charles B. Plowright. 



"Researches into the Oospores of some Fungi": by the Rev. John E. 

 VizE, M.A. 



" On Bnnt(Tilletia Caries)" : by Mr. Charles B. Plowright. 



" On Gigimtic Fungi " : by Dr. M. C. Cookk, M.A., &c. 



"Some Recent Additions to our Mycological Flora": by Mr. Wm. Phillips, 

 F.L.S. 



And the subject of " Trinomialism in Zoology " was introduced by Mr. 

 Henry T. Wharton, M.A., Oxon, &c. 



Several of these papers elicited discussion, but as, perhaps, both the papers 

 and the observations upon them are of a high order of science, their names must 

 suffice. There is no saying how much people lose for want of due appreciation. 

 Many of them, however, are destined for publication in the works devoted to 

 Mycological studies.
