290 Yorkshire Naturalists at Hambleton. 
height, with many vigorous off-shoots. |The foliage was also 
very large, and the flowers, of good size, were borne on stems 
about nine inches in length. There is also a patch of the 
Convallaria majalis, and Mr. Cawthorn subsequently sent me 
specimens of Echium vulgare. 
The duckpond in the wood yielded Myriophyllum spicatum, 
Potamogeton natans and Lemna trisulca. Along its borders 
flourished Lycopus europeus, Inis pseud-acorus, Lysimachia 
nummularia, Scrophularia aquatica, Orchis maculata, Eprpactis 
palustris and Carex remota. 
Before entering the wood the vegetation of a portion of 
Hambleton Dyke was examined, and here were noted Ranun- 
culus sceleratus, Veronica Anagallis, Hippuris vulgaris, Cera- 
tophyllum demersum, and Glyceria fluitans. 
Mycorocy.—Mr. A. E. Peck writes:—This section was 
represented by Messrs. W. N. Cheesman, R. Fowler Jones and 
myself. Bishop Wood can never be a ‘ Mycologists’ Paradise ’ 
so long as it is so ‘ well kept,’ old and decayed trees being practi- 
cally non-existent. The long spell of dry weather, as expected, 
operated against great ‘ finds.’ 
On an old willow outside the wood Fomes fomentarius 
occurred, and Polyporus Rostkovi1, new to the district, was 
found on a stump in the wood. 
It was observed with some interest that Polyporus squamosus 
here frequently possesses a central and symmetrical stem, 
whereas lateral stems are the usual form. 
The following is a full list of the species met with. The 
Mycetozoa list, which is supplied by Mr. Cheesman, includes
