Yorkshire Naturalists' Union : Annual Report, 1911. 27 



to Yorkshire, including three new to the British Flora (and another 

 to add later), and two new to Science. A full diagnosis of the 

 two new species, and short description of those new to Britain will 

 be published in " The Naturalist " in due course. The Committee 

 recommend to the Union another foray, at the very least, in the 

 same district, September 21st to 26th. 



Messrs. W. D. Roebuck, Leeds ; W. N. Cheesman, Selby ; 

 James Needham, Hebden Bridge ; Thos. Hebden, Keighley ; 

 A. E. Peck and T. B. Roe, Scarbro', have sent many interesting 

 species from their respective districts ; Mr. Corbett, a remarkably 

 fine specimen of Polyporus varius, and Mr. M. H. Stiles, Doncaster, 

 a beautiful pinky-salmon coloured mould new to Britain. 



A very able and opportune paper on " The Study of Fungi by 

 Local Natural History Societies " was read by Mr. H. Wager, F.R.S., 

 before the Committee of Delegates at the meeting of the British 

 Association in Portsmouth. The work of the Mycological Com- 

 mittee of the Yorkshire Naturalists' Union was loyally held up as 

 an example of what may be done by persistent investigation. 

 60 water-colour drawings by the writer, 60 stereo-photos by 

 Mr. A. Clarke, and a number of photos by Mr. A. E. Peck, all of 

 Yorkshire fungi, was sent, by request, to help to ihustrate the 

 address. The paper appeared in the October issue of " The Natura- 

 list " (pp. 351-356).
