 credit balance at the post office saving's bank shewed a 

 balance of twenty one pounds and eight shillings in their 

 favour which contrasted favourably with the accounts as 

 exhibited in their programme which showed no balance at 

 all. The forty five pounds received from the bequest of the 

 late Mrs. E. M. Robinson had with the accruing income been 

 invested in fifty pounds War Loan. Mrs. A. Ellis had given 

 the Society her late husband's copies of Saccardo's Sylloge 

 Fungorum, vol. Ill, Sphaeropsideae et Melanconiae ; 

 Plowright's British L^redineae and Ustilagineae ; andTubeuf's 

 and Smith's Diseases of plants induced bv cryptogamic 

 jiarasites : these would be available to the members who 

 applied for them. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded 

 to her for the kind gifts. Professor S. H. Vines had 

 suggested that the Society should publish a paper on 

 fungicides, and the Hon. Secretary reported that Mr. A. D. 

 Cotton, F.L.S.,* had consented to do so and his action was 

 approved. 



On Wednesday, the 26th of September, the morning was 

 devoted to placing out on exhibition the more uncommon 

 fungi collected on the previous day, as the size of the room 

 did not permit of the usual full display. Mr. Norman G. 

 Hadden sent from the neighbourhood of Porlock, Hydnuni 

 ^raveolens (Delast.) Fr., Geaster fimhriotus (\^itt.) Fr., 

 Marosmius priiinatus Rea, Uromyces Loti Blvtt, on Lotus 

 corniculatus, Uromyces sparsus Lev. on Spergularia salina, 

 and Uromyces SaJicorniae de Barv. At noon the members 

 drove from the headquarters to Haughmond Abbey, where
