montana in nice fruiting condition and fine masses of Zygodon 
mougeotit together with Bartramia pomiformis and Buthyphylla. 
Above these rocks in rather dryer places was seen the rarer 
Orthodontium gracile easily overlooked as Dicranella heteromalla. 
A complete list of the mosses of Bolton Woods could serve 
no useful purpose here, but to any one interested in Bry ology 
it would be difficult to find better ground, but let it be in 
winter, when the’ flowers, trees ancl enticing views are not 
calling the bryologist from his purpose. 
Mycorocy.—Mr. A. R. Sanderson writes :—The visit did 
not vield any outstanding species of mycetozoa, the best time 
for these being the Autumn. Perhaps the most interesting 
point was the complete absence of Perichena corticalis Rost., 
one of our most common and generally distributed species. 
The list includes those found by Mr. Cheesman, Mr. Burrell and 
myself. Most of the specimens were old and in poor condition. 
Besides the mature and weathered sporangia, two or three small 
lasmodia were seen, and one in the sclerotium condition. 
The list apart from these is as follows :— Badhamia panicea 
Rost., (on Elm) ; Physarum nutans Pers., common ; Didvmium 
squamulosum Fries., common; Leocarpus fragilis Rost. ; 
Reticularia lycoperdon Bull., ; Lycogala epidendrum Fries. (on 
oak and ash); Comatricha nigra Schroeter. (on Sycamore) ; 
Trichia affinis de Bary; including a plasmodiocarp form ; 
T. varia Pers. ; T. decipiens Macbr. ; T. Botrytis Pers., common ; 
Henutrichia clavata Rost. ;

A Veteran Naturalist, being the Life and Work of W. B. Tegetmeier, by 
E. W. Richardson, with an Introduction by the late Sir Walter Gilbey. 
London: Witherby & Co., 232 pages, tos. net. It is always pleasant 
to read an account of the life nok of a prominent scientific worthy, and 
the present volume contains a very interesting account of the ereat 
Naturalist, ‘The Collaborator of Darwin, The Bee Master, The Father 
of Pigeon Fanciers, The Father of the Savage Club,’ the man who had so 
many sided a character. His achievements are well described, and 
doubtless those of our readers who are familiar with Tegetmeier’s various 
volumes on birds, etc., will be glad to peruse the present interesting 
volume. That he was not a “narrow ’ Naturalist may be gathered from 
the illustrations to the book, one of which is Tegetmeier ‘training the 
Ballet at Liverpool.’ There are two Appendices, the first being a list 
of his works, and the second, a poem headed ‘ To Sixty-six from Twenty- 
S1x.’
