autumn and winter, but others shew a decided preference for 

 the later months of tlie year. For instance, we did not meet 

 with Peniophora pallid n/a before late November and December, 

 when it cropped up cverywiierc. 



The species which apj^eared with the greatest frequency were 

 the following: 



Corlicium laeve (Pers.) Ox\c\., Sainbitci (Pers.) ¥r., aracliiioideiiin 

 Berk., botryosinn Bres., subcoyoiiatum von Hohnel et

The soil in this neighbourhood is mostly gravel and sand. 

 There are extensive pine woods, a good sprinkling of oak, 

 birch and sweet chestnut ; also a little beech. We shall hope 

 later to be in a position to compare this list of coiumon species 

 with a similar list for other soils. 



An observation which may again be brought forward relates 

 to the genus Radidmn. Numerous specimens were gathered 

 and some could be connected with known species of other 

 genera. Covticiiim bombycinwn shewed gradations from a 

 smooth typical CorUcium to a well-defined blunt-toothed 

 Raduloid form. A cream coloured Radiduni grew near the 

 common Mernlius tremellosus and was found to have an identical 

 spore. It was growing on birch, which is the favourite habitat 

 of this species, and was probably only an abnormal form.
