have been on the Faeroes later than September 4 ; Eostrup himself, the only 

 professed mycologist, was not there later than September 2, and that as far 

 back as 1867. Still it is worth while drawing attention to this apparent 

 lack of pasture species in the Faeroes as compared with Clare Island, and to 

 the great abundance of smuts recorded there. 



Of the 168 species of the Faeroes, only 38 have been noted so far in 

 Clare Island. The lists may be thus compared :—

The arrangement of the species in the following list is very nearly 

 that adopted in Adams and Pethy bridge's " Census Catalogue of Irish Fungi" 

 (Proc. E.I. Acad., xxviii, sect. B, No. 4). The chief differences are that 

 the species are no longer arranged alphabetically in the genera, and that the 

 sixth edition of Engler's Syllabus has been followed in place of the fifth. In 

 this list are enumerated two hundred and eighty-three species ; one hundred 

 and one of these are additions to the Irish Census Catalogue, and one hundred 

 and thirty-five are not included in our list of the fungi found on the 

 mainland and Achill Island. Eight of them are first records for the Britannic 

 fungus flora, namely, Ostracoblabe irwpleaaa, Bonn, et Flah., Urceolella aspera (Fr.) 

 Boud., Mosellinia anthostomoides Berl., Epicymatia halani Winter, Phomatospora 

 argentina Spegg, Diaporthe eaxisperans Mtschke, Diatrypella exigua Wint., and 

 Coprinus Friesii Q. ; and one genus and species is new to science, Candelospora 

 ilicicola Hawley. Two of the above are also recorded below for the mainland- 



For assistance in collecting, I am indebted especially to Messrs. A. D. 

 Cotton, J. Adams, E. Lloyd Praeger, and Miss Lorrain Smith of the 

 British Museum; for help in determining species, again to Miss Lorrain 

 Smith, and also to Messrs. W. B. Grove, C. Crossland, and A. D. Cotton. 

 The last-named I have to thank for all the records of marine fungi.
