26 Crossland: Mycological Meeting at Sandsend. 
Four are among the additions for here. A stranger is held 
over for further consideration. 
A collection belonging to the order Thelephoracea was sent 
to Miss Elsie M. Wakefield, Kew. Miss Wakefield is devoting 
special attention to this not over well-known group. 
Clitocybe Sadleri Berk., Cooke’s Illustr., p. 127. Specimens 
of this so-called species were found at the base of a stump at 
Sandsend. At first sight it had every appearance of a Clitocybe, 
and according to Cooke’s figure, C. Sadler1., but its few spores 
were found to have a tinge of purple; other features 
connected with it left no doubt as to its being an abnormal 
form of Hypholoma fasciculare. The tuft first-named C. 
Sadlert was found on an oak tub in a conservatory at Edinburgh 
by Mr. John Sadler, whose name was given to the agaric by 
Berkeley under the impression that it was a normal, white 
spored species. Several mycologists have doubted its being 
a good species (Mass. Brit. Fung. Flo. II, pp. 441-2), now it is 
clearly proved it is not. 
On summing up the results for the year it was found that 
107 additionai species had been registered for the district—5o 
at the spring meeting, and 57 in autumn; no fewer than 10 
being additions to the British and 34 to the -Yorkshire 
Mycological Flora, (see the accompanying lists). A few others 
are awaiting further consideration. The total now reached is 
1,207, or thereabouts. In the following lists of this years 
additions, those new to this country are marked *+; those 
to the county f. 
Lord Normanby was cordially thanked for his great kindness 
in allowing the Mycological members of the Union to investigate 
his extensive woodlands a few seasons in succession in autumn ; 
also the Rev. W. G. Harland for permitting us to use the 
schoolrooms at Sandsend, Monday to Wednesday. 
A few days’ meeting in May, 3rd—8th, at Sandsend, was 
decided upon, and the Union was recommended to ask his 
Lordship once more to grant permission to visit his woodlands, 
September 2oth—2z5th, 1913. 
Miss Massee brought to the meeting a large series of beauti 
fully executed drawings of both fungi and flowering plants, 
which were much admired; and Mr. Massee, a useful series 
of Boletus drawings, one of which enabled Mr. Clarke and myself 
to identify one of this group hitherto a puzzle to us. Mr. Gibbs 
and the writer each contributed a fascicle of miscellaneous 
coloured figures of fungi. Besides his series of coloured 
Ivicholoma drawings prepared to illustrate his paper, Mr. 
Clarke had a set representing the mushroom family, displayed 
on the schoolroom walls. 
Miss Massee, besides being most active in the field collecting, 
deftly applied her pencils and paints when indoors and succeeded
