24 . Crossland: Mycological Meeting at Sandsend. 
numerous forms have been met with only once, still other 
novelties continue to crop up. Russula virginea Cke. and 
Mass. was found here last year and again this, in plenty ; 
previous to last year it had only been recorded for Windsor 
Forest where it was first found. These constant additions to 
previous records justify continued research in one and the 
same locality, and by being permitted to look through one 
series of woodlands a few seasons in succession very much better 
scientific results are obtained. 
Of the ten species found here in 1912, new to the British 
Flora, four are figured on plate I. The fifth, Agaricus bernardi 
Quel. is from Cullingworth, near Keighley, discovered and 
brought to Sandsend, by Thos. Hebden.
