end, uniseptate, with a large nucleus in each division, '001 inch 

 long by '0005 broad. 



The sporidia of this and the next species differ entirely from 

 those of our other British species. Duby's plant is on Juniperus 

 phosnicetcs, that of Fries on oak.

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE. 



Geological Map of England and Wales. By Prof. Ramsay, F.R.S., 

 F.G.S., &c. 3rd edition. 1866. 



That 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 out 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 resincc) 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.
