healthy one, none of the plants being' in tlie least diseased. (On 

 the other side of the rill rose-campion was attacked by Puccinia 

 lycJniideiiricfn.) It was the dead, out-of-sig'ht plant debris, the 

 remains of last year's growth, hid by the new vegetation, that 

 we had to get at and examine before finding anything. Seven- 

 teen species of saprophytes, minute but all in fine condition, 

 rewarded a search of a few square yards. Helotitim cvdthoideiitn 

 and Dasyscypha virginea occurred in great abundance. The 

 mint rust was seen in a garden, and the mallow rust by the 

 roadside, both near the shore at Filey.
