In the subjoined list are enumerated all the species of 

 microscopic fungi collected by myself in the Hardanger dis- 

 trict of Bergen, in Norway, during the excursion to that 

 district of the Scottish Alpine Botanical Club in the month 

 of August 1887. The lists of Phanerogams collected by the 

 members who took part in the excursion has been already 

 published in the Transactions, followed by a paper by myself 

 on the Galls of Norway ; but I found it impossible to work 

 out a list of the fungi in time to accompany these papers, as 

 the specimens have required careful, and often continued 

 study, to permit of satisfactory determination. Even yet 

 certain species remain undetermined {and are not at j)resent 

 referred to), owing to imperfect or unsatisfactory specimens 

 alone having been found. Not being aware of the existence 

 of any complete list of Norwegian fungi, it has seemed to me 

 the better course to mention each species met with by me. 

 It will be observed that I venture to regard a few as new 

 discoveries, and to name and describe them under this belief. 

 The localities are the same as those mentioned in the lists 

 above referred to, viz. — (1) From Odde up the Jordal to the 

 Buarbrffi glacier ; (2) near Eide and Graven ; (3) around 

 Vik, and from Ojfjord to the V0ringfos ; (4) the Simodal ; (5) 

 a small marsh at the head of the Skjervet, on the way from 

 Eide to Vossevangen. 



I have to express my obligations to Mr W. Phillips, who, 

 with his usual kindness, named for me the Discomycetes. 

 In general aspect the assemblage of forms is very much like 

 what one might find under similar conditions in Scotland ; 

 though including species not met with in Scotland, as is to 

 be expected from the presence in Norway of host plants 

 either unknown or very rare as natives of Britain.
