The Worcester Foray. E. M. Wakefield. 3 
diosum was found on the bare clayey soil. Sebacina incrustans 
and Thelephora anthocephala occurred in similar situations. In 
a grassy drive leaves of Spiraea Uimaria yielded numerous 
specimens of a small spider attacked by Jsaria avachnophila. 
Of the larger forms the most outstanding find was a magnificent 
specimen of Polyporus rufescens, brought in by Mr S. P. Wiltshire. 
In the evening Mr J. Ramsbottom gave a paper on “‘The 
origin of saprophytism in Phanerogams..’’ 
The meeting concluded with cordial votes of thanks to the 
Worcester Museum and Library Committee for the use of the 
Victoria Institute and Library, to the Education Committee for 
the use of the lecture theatre and to the various owners and 
tenants who had given permission for visits to their estates. 
Votes of thanks were also passed to the President, to the Foray 
Secretary, Mr Pearson, and to Miss Wakefield. 
For assistance in compiling the following list of species 
found I am especially indebted to Mr Carleton Rea, Mr J. 
Ramsbottom and Dr J. S. Bayliss Elliott. The latter is re- 
sponsible for many records of Discomycetes.
