Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union: Annual Report, 1912. 85 
to a moss of the same name now growing on Strensall and Skip- 
with Commons and in other places in Great Britain. It was 
interesting to see under the microscope the distinct cell structure 
of the leaves just as we see it in the Yorkshire moss of to-day. 
MycoLocicaL COMMITTEE.—Mr. C. Crossland writes :— 
The fifth series of additions to the known Yorkshire list, since 
1905, consisting of 63 species, was published in the March i issue 
of The Naturalist. 
During the year Mr. Roe ae forwarded many uncommon 
fungi from the Scarborough district, including Belonidium 
punctum, new to Britain, and several others new to Yorkshire, 
or with only one previous County record. Besides taking in- 
terest in fungi as a whole he is paying special attention to the 
Uredines, and plant diseases generally, with good results. 
Early in the year our President and Mr. Roebuck forwarded 
a parcel of mouldy journals which had been in a damp cellar, 
to examine. Of four species of Hyphomycetes—moulds—one 
proved to be new to Britain, and another with only one previous 
British record. Descriptions of the two will be sent to The 
Naturalist in due course. 
Fungi have been collected at all the Excursions. Specimens 
have been sent from Selby by W. N. Cheesman ; from Hudders- 
field by A. Clarke ; Bradford by M. Malone; Hawkswick by 
H. Wager ; Scarborough by A. E. Peck; and Cullingworth 
and Wilsden by Thos. Hebden, including Agaricus Bernardii 
Quel, new to Britain. All have been duly recorded in my 
rapidly expanding copy of the Yorkshire Fungus Flora. Ii 
is impossible to mention a tithe of new Yorkshire species in 
this report. They will be found in the forthcoming sixth 
batch of Yorkshire additions since 1905. 
The Committee have held two successful five-day meetings 
at Sandsend, May 18th-23rd, and September 28th-October 3rd. 
At the Spring meeting 170 species were met with, 50 of which 
are additions to the Flora of that district, 16 to Yorkshire, and 
two to Britain. At the Autumn meeting nearly 400 were noted, 
57 being further additions to the locality, 18 to Yorkshire, and 
eight to Britain, so that for the year the Committee have added 
107 species to the previous 1,100 recorded up to the end of the 
year 1911 for that area. Description of the species new to 
this country will appear in our monthly journal. 
We are convinced that we cannot do better than continue, 
by the kind permission of Lord Normanby, the observations 
a year or two longer, as each year so far valuable results have 
been arrived at. 
A coloured plate of four of the species new to Britain, 
found at Mulgrave, and the one found at Cullingworth, drawn by 
Miss Ivy Massee, Kew, appears in this part of The Naturalist.
