not uncommon; Lonicera Periclymenum clambered amidst 
the tangle of growth, shedding a delightful fragrance from its 
clusters of bloom. Torilis Anthriscus, Inula dysenterica, 
Linum catharticum, Equisetum palustre, and E. maximum were 
also listed. Along the cliff tops Ononis arvensis, Anthyllis 
Vulnervaria, Agrimonia Eupatoria,: Carlina vulgaris, Betonica 
officinalis, and Gymnadenia conopsea were abundant, and there 
were also Echium vulgare, Ewphorbia exigua, Sherardia arvensis, 
Reseda luteola, Bromus giganteus and Hordeum murinum. 
It was much to be regretted that a heavy storm occurred 
shortly after arrival in the Skelton valley, as this made 
a close investigation of the woodland flora impossible. How- 
ever, much of interest was seen at the Guisborough end of 
the valley. A perfect picture was the immense wealth of 
blossom yielded by Campanula latifolia in a young coniferous 
wood to the left. The streamside flora was glorious: thickets 
of Epilobium hirsutum, Eupatorium cannabinum, Valeriana 
officinalis, Sparganium ramosum, Conium maculatum, Spirea 
Ulmaria, and Scrophularia aquatica, with the blue of Myosotis 
palustris linking up the gaps. Along the valley were numerous 
other plants, of which may be mentioned Hypericum pulchrum, 
H. quadrangulum, H. hirsutum, Brassica campestris, and Geran- 
ium pratense. The arboreal features of the valley are especially 
magnificient. Wild Cherry and Blackthorn were in fruit. 
MycoLocy.—Miss C.- A. Cooper writes :—On Friday after- 
noon the mycologists investigated the little wood surrounding 
Marske Mill and found quite a number of specimens, especially 
a fine group of Psathyrella disseminata. On Saturday the party 
visited the Kilton Woods where was seen a large number of 
Boleti, chiefly Boletus elegans, but subtomentosus and flavus 
were taken. On Monday, in spite of heavy rain for a period, 
much good work was done. The pastures contained a large 
number of Hygrophori, chlorophanus and fpsittacinus being 
recorded. Our indefatigable collector, Mr. Jones, boxed the 
favourite Bird’s Nest fungus, Crucibulum vulgare, and we got 
fine specimens of Ofidea leporina, Acetabulum vulgaris, and 
Otidea aurantia. The Clavarias were very fine in the pastures, 
particularly vermicularis in splendid condition. A very fine 
specimen of Isaria farinosa, the conidial form of Cordiceps 
militaris, were obtained. Eighty five species for two full days 
work was satisfactory. Some of the less common specimens 
were sent for identification to Messrs. Peck and Roe of Scarbro’, 
who were kind enough to help. 
The following is the list of some of the species noted, viz. :— 
LEUCOSPORE. Russula integra. 
Amanttopsts stvangulata. R. vitellina. 
Leptota mastoidea. R. pectinata. 
Russula ochvacea. R. chlorotdes.
