The Natural Hrstory of Littondale, Yorks. 351 
piece of cow dung kept a few weeks under a bell glass for 
observation. Several others, included in the following list, 
came forward. One of the least expected to put in an appear- 
ance on this matrix was a Trichia or Hemitrichia—7Z. Karsfeniz 
Mass. Mon. p. 168=H. Karstenzzt (Rost.) Lister. There was a 
small colony of four or five sporangia. There also came up a 
very small ayaric, less than a line across the pileus, with pale 
brown spores; this appears to be an undescribed species. 
There was an almost entire absence of the colt’s foot and 
butterbur Uredines, though both plants were plentiful. 
The absence of decaying wood and shaded moist corners 
accounts for the comparative absence of Myxogastres: they 
were sought for. 
We have to thank several members of other sections for 
collecting specimens, two or three of the more important ones 
being brought in by them. 
The following is a summary of the work done :—107 species 
found, 2 New to Yorkshire, marked * in the list; 21 New to
