300 Transactions British Mycological Society. 



In view of the serious outbreak of this disease in South- West 

 Wales (Pembrokeshire, Cardiganshire, and Carmarthenshire), 

 Mr Cotton appealed to members of the Society to assist in col- 

 lecting data as to the incidence of rust fungi on cereals in the 

 western counties, and particularly in Devon and Cornwall. 



At the request of the Essex Field Club a resolution was passed 

 deploring the attempt being made to infringe the Epping Forest 

 rights by making the war-time allotments permanent, but a 

 rider was added that alternative arrangements should be made 

 to safeguard the interests of allotment-holders. The Secretary 

 of the Essex Field Club has since written that further action is 

 at present unnecessary, as the Conservators are taking action 

 to safeguard the Forest rights. 



Mr Pearson announced that Dr Paul had very kindly marked 

 in his copy of Cooke's "Catalogue of British Basidiomycetes " 

 the correct accentuation of fungus names, and that this Hst 

 was at the disposal of any member who was interested. A cor- 

 dial vote of thanks to Dr Paul for his trouble was carried by 

 acclamation. 



During the Foray Mr Hadden exhibited the following from 

 WestPorlock : Puccinia Umbilici, P. variabilis, Uromyces sparsus, 

 Exoascus Pruni, Mitrula phalloides, Arachnopeziza aurelia, and 

 Elaphomyces granulatus. Miss Collins showed the rare subter- 

 ranean fungus, Melanogaster ambiguus, which was dug up at 

 Clapham, near Worthing. 



For assistance in compihng the subjoined hst the Secretary 

 is indebted to Mr Carleton Rea and Mr A. A. Pearson. The 

 Mycetozoa were worked out by Dr W. T Elhott and Mr N. G. 

 Hadden, who forwarded the list appended.
