The sporidia of this and the next species differ entirely from 
those of our other British species. Duby’s plant is on Juniperus 
pheniceus, that of Fries on oak.

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE. 
Geological Map of England and Wales. By Prof. Ramsay, F.R.S., 
F.G.S., &. 3rd edition. 1866. 
Tuar a new edition of this useful Map should be required speaks 
well of the public taste for geological knowledge ; or at all events 
indicates that the public find that they require and can use a map 
showing at a glance to those who can read it aright the real structure 
of the country, the chief characters of its hills and valleys, the courses 
of its rivers in relation to the nature of the uplands, and the pro- 
jections and hollows of its coasts in relation to the harder and softer 
materials of its rocky skeleton, and, still more, the relative position 
of its mines, coal-pits, quarries, and other. sources of mineral wealth. 
The traveller may, if he will, recognize the geological character of 
the country he is passing through by rail or otherwise, by referring 
to this handy sheet ; the tourist may spread it out on the green 
sward, the beach, or the barren hill-top, and trace cut the deep-set 
roots of the mountain, the inland range of the sea-cut strata, or the 
structure of hill and dale around, and take in new pleasure with his 
satisfied curiosity, besides all the delight that light and shade, form 
and colour, changing cloud and rippling water can give him, be he 
artist or amateur. Fishing and shooting, too, have an additional 
zest with the geologist ; for he is rarely too busy not to see some- 
thing new; and when sport is dull, the eye is still pleasingly at work.

On turpentine. Lucknam, Dec. 10, 1864. 
From pallid white to a bright yellow, sometimes brick-red, scattered over 
some Sporidesmium (Tromera resine) which colours the turpentine black. 
The genus Coniocybe is a very doubtful member of the Fungi; and the 
species, which is new to Great Britain, is therefore recorded in a note.
