junction with her neighbour, Mr. Walker, of Colwyn, that after the meeting of 

 the Woolhope Club at Hereford, much might be found to interest the members in 

 the neighbourhood of Coed Coch. 



Arrangements were therefore made to in%dte as many of the leading mem- 

 bers and visitors as could be accommodated ; and accordingly one party arrived 

 on Saturday, October 9th, at Colwyn, and another at Coed Coch, under the 

 guidance of Dr. Bull, and amongst them M. Max Cornu, a host in himself. 

 Meanwhile collections were made on Saturday by Mr. Berkeley and his daughter, 

 to greet them on their arrival, and an addition to our list was recorded in Agaricus 

 senilis. Ag. LeveUlianus was abundant, and proved to be identical with Ag. 

 denigratus. Fries. 



Both parties joined, on Monday, in an excursion to the woods in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Colwyn, when amongst other interesting matters, Ag. tumidus. P., 

 new to this country, was collected. Ag. tessulatus, Bulliard, a form of Ag. ulmarius, 

 occurred altered by patches of a red Fusisporium ; a similar change also taking place 

 in Ag. orcella. The most interesting find, however, was Ag. nudipes, Kalkbrenner, 

 which was gathered by Mrs. Wynne herself. A single specimen of Hygrophorus 

 Wynni(B was found, which excited great interest. On Monday, the meet was 

 joined by Sir W. Guise and Mr. Bucknall, who brought %vith him Ag. seminudus, 

 new to this country, and a very beautiful undescribed species of Lepiota. Mr. 

 Renny sent from Lucerne, a valuable collection, and some exquisite drawings. 

 Mr. Shaw and Mr. BucknaU also brought drawings of rare species, and the 

 meeting was well supplied with illustrative books. 



A joint excursion was again made, on Tuesday, to the Pine Wood of Coed 

 Coch, which furnished a plentiful supply of interesting species. All were 

 accurately named and labelled as far as time would allow, so that the meeting 

 was highly instructive, and M. Cornu closed the evening with a charming lecture 

 on the " Comparative Mj'cology of France and England." The weather was all 

 that could be desired, so that the members thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and 

 vn\l long remember the happy days spent at Coed Coch and Colwyn. — M. J. B.,

COED COCH AND COLWYN FUNGI. 

 By invitation of Mrs. Lloyd Wynne and Mr. A. O. Walker, a party of 

 mycologists visited these localities for two or three days, from the 9th October ; 

 and the following list includes the majority of species found during the excursions. 

 Others have been collected since by the Rev. M. J. Berkeley, of which a special 

 record will probably be given by that gentleman. As no extensive list of the 

 North Wales fungi has been published, we give the list in its entirety, although it 

 represents only the result of two or three consecutive days, and must therefore be 

 regarded as fragmentary.
