of 
RECENTLY DISCOVERED FUNGI IN YORKSHIRE.

Halifax. 
THE present is considered a suitable time to bring together, 
under one heading, the Fungi discovered in Yorkshire since the 
publication of the Yorkshire Fungus Flora in 1905. This will 
enable mycologists to post their copies up to date without 
much trouble. Many species have been recorded in the pages of 
the ‘ Naturalist’ in the interval; in all such cases references to 
pages and date are given. To facilitate the placing of these 
records in their proper sequence, the number in the flora which 
each must follow is added. Two are included which were 
accidentally omitted when the work was compiled. 
It will be seen that two are new to science, 7 new to Britain, 
and 46, and 3 vars. new to Yorkshire. This brings the present 
total of known Yorkshire species to 2681. 
The number of new vice-county records has also been con- 
siderably added to:—S.W., 46; Min W., 8; N.W., 69; 
N.E., 32; S.E., 57. These, however, can easily be inserted 
in the Flora by aid of the ‘ Naturalist,’ ‘Transactions,’ and the 
Trans. of the Hull Sci. and F. N. Club.,’ ’05-6, by any one suffi- 
ciently interested in the subject.
