In order to avoid the constant repetition of the names of 

 districts and their investigators it may be here stated that, 

 throughout the list, they stand connected. In exceptional cases 

 the name or initials of the authority for the record is given in 

 brackets. 



To render intelligible the method followed, the following 

 abbreviations have been adopted to indicate the various 

 sources of information as to records: — 



The tab. number following Bolton's name refers to the page 

 and plate in his 'History of Fungusses growing about 

 Halifax,' pub. 1 788-1 791. With very few exceptions, 

 Bolton's figures represent either new species or first 

 British records. Most of the specific names vary from 

 those at present in use, but it is not considered necessary 

 to give synonyms in all cases. 



When Dr. M. C. Cooke's Illustrations are quoted it signifies 

 that the figures were drawn from specimens gathered at 

 the locality stated in the text. 



Records published in 'The Naturalist' are denoted thus — 

 ('Nat.' ...); those resting on the authority of F. A. Lees' 

 'Flora of West Yorkshire' — (Lees' Fl.); and those from 

 L. Rotheray's 'Flora of Skipton'— (Fl. Skipt.). 

 Other abbreviations and signs are — 



(Tr. Y. N.U.) — Transactions of the Yorkshire Naturalists' 

 Union. 



(Mass. Mon. Brit. Gastr.) — Massee's Monograph of the British 

 Gastromycetes, 1889. 



(*Nat. ...) denotes that the species was seen at an ordinary 

 Y.N.U. Excursion, and record published in the 

 ' Naturalist ' on date given.
