A HISTORY OF BUCKINGHAMSHIRE 



trunk. Amongst the county records the finding of Cribraria violacea deserves 

 special mention. It was first noticed in Ward's Coombe Wood near 

 Ivinghoe, on the inside of the bark of a decayed beech log. Specimens 

 were submitted to Mr. A. Lister for determination, who notified that it 

 was the first record of this species for Europe, the previous locality being 

 Philadelphia. The evidence of its existence in this county does not rest 

 upon a solitary instance, as on several subsequent visits it was found in 

 various parts of the same wood. The only other records known for 

 Europe are those of a few sporangia which developed at the British 

 Museum on a stick sent from Lyme Regis, found in Devon, which had 

 been forwarded, because it bore on its surface another species, and a 

 single gathering from Aberdeenshire, by Mr. Cran in 1898. 



Fuligo ellipsospora, first found in Beds, is now recorded also for 

 Bucks and Herts, and Badhamia ovispora, also first observed in Beds by 

 Mr. E. Saunders, is now known as well for Bucks and Herts, the 

 counties being mentioned according to the priority of the records. The 

 latter species is not at present known in Great Britain outside the area 

 included in the South Midlands. 



The arrangement and nomenclature of the following list are those 

 of the Monograph of the Mycetozoa by Mr. A. Lister. To that gentleman 

 as well as to Miss G. Lister the writer is indebted for the critical 

 examination of every specimen upon which a record is based.
