Crossland: Fungus Foray at Grassington, etc. 401 
came under consideration. Mr. Wager’s suggestion that the 
work should be definitely shared out among the Members of 
the Committee was readily adopted. The idea being that each 
member take one or more of the various groups of fungi under 
his special charge. Mr. A. Clarke took the Gastromycetes and 
the Polyporacee; Mr. T. Gibbs part of the white spored 
Agaricacee and the whole of the Melanospore; Mr. H. C. 
Hawley, Ochrospore and Hyphomycetes; Mr. C. H. Broadhead, 
Rhodospore ; Mr. R. H. Phillip, Uredinacez and Ustilaginee ; 
Mr. W. N. Cheesman, Hydnaceew and Clavariacee; Mr. H. 
Wager, Phycomycetes; Mr. C. Crossland, Ascomycetes 
and other unalloted groups; and Mr. J. W. H. Johnson, 
Myxomycetes. 
Stereo photos and coloured drawings of fungi, by Messrs. 
Clarke, Gibbs, and Crossland, were at the service of those who 
desired to look them over. All the necessary books and 
microscopes were available. 
The doctor and one or two other Grassington friends 
interested themselves in the proceedings. Altogether it was a 
most enjoyable Foray. One of the greatest drawbacks was, 
the experienced hands could not devote as much time as they 
would have liked in assisting the less experienced members 
to determine the species they collected. This was felt, but 
could not well be avoided. To add to this, there was not 
sufficient table room to allow of the named specimens being 
laid out for the study of those members to whom they were 
unfamiliar. 
About 200 species were collected in and about Grassington, 
123 at Bolton Woods, and 105 at Buckden; the net number 
being 320; six being new to Yorkshire and 53 to Mid. W. 
These will all be particularised in the list. 
I am indebted to Mr. A. Lister, F.R.S., for kindly under- 
taking the work of determining the Myxomycetes on my behalf. 
At the business meeting the Rev. F. H. Woods proposed, 
and Mr. H. Wager seconded, a vote of thanks to the land- 
owners for permission to explore their domains. 
It was decided to recommend Mulgrave Woods as the place 
for next year’s Foray, the dates to be September 19th to 24th. 
It may be urged that these woods have been investigated by the 
Yorkshire Mycologists two or three times already ; so they have, 
but the woods are so extensive and varied that were they 
explored nine times there would certainly be some additions to 
the Fungus Flora were a tenth visit made.
