unexpectedly in same stream, Cosciiiodiscus radiatus Ehr., a 

 marine species, apparently having been thrown up by the 

 foam of the waves, and becoming domiciled in the stream, 

 which, though well above high water mark, may have re- 

 ceived sufficient salt water from drifting foam to keep the 

 diatom alive. In Weedley Springs, in April, I found Pennu- 

 laria gracillima Greg, recorded by Norman, from Saltersgate, 

 as rare, also Pinnularia brevicostata Cleve., a new record for 

 this district. The following are also new, Synedra famelica 

 Kutz. , and Fragilaria brevistriata Grun., from Sod House 

 Lock, Market Weighton canal. (The latter was also found 

 at Askern, on the occasion of the Y.N.U. excursion in July) ; 

 from ditch near Patrington, Navicula protracta Grun., and 

 from River head, Driffield, Navicula bacilliform'is Grun., and 

 Navicula fontinalis Grun. 



EAST YORKSHIRE FUNGI IN 1906. 



THE total number of distinct species found in this district 

 was thirty-eight, including one new Yorkshire record, 

 viz., Hypholoma Icucotephnun. This fungus was found 

 on the grassy roadside at Holmpton, near Withernsea, during 

 the month of October, 1905. 



The fungus Tricholma persouatum was exceedingly 

 common during the whole season (September to March). 



During the month of September 1905, large quantities 

 of the Myxomycete, Spumaria alba, were found on the grass, 

 mainly on the cliff tops, and the sand-dunes of Sand-le-mere. 



From April to August 1906, very few species have been 

 found. During April I obtained permission to visit Drewton 

 Dale, and made a thorough search which resulted in finding 

 a few specimens of Himeola Auricula-Jiidce (the Jews ear) 

 only. 



During the month of June, in Skidby pits I found three 

 species only, all of them being small and on dead twigs. 



The month of July was even worse, and at Hull Bank 

 and Hornsea Mere, one species only was found in each place, 

 both of them common. 



During the month of August I searched the Hull Bank 

 end of Wild Cat Lane, with very poor results, finding one 

 species of fungus and one myxo. , viz. Stemonitis fusca. —
