Those l^elicved to be new to Britain are marked with an * 

 Since the last Report was handed in I liave commenced 

 a series of papers deaUng more fully with some of the more 

 interesting Yorkshire species than it is possible to do in these 

 short Reports. 



The first of these papers was published in 1896 * and is 

 devoted to a description of the fructification and various forms 

 assumed by Dactylotheca plumosa Artis sp. The second paper 

 was published this year f. This contains the description and 

 illustration of the followincr Yorkshire Plants : — •

ciliatus^ two Sigillarian cones which had previously been included 

 in the published reports as Sigillarlostrohus sp. ; Slglllaria Sol^ 

 and Sigillarla seniipidvlnata^ which, though known to me for 

 some years, were not included in any of the previous Reports 

 as the plants were undescribed. 



'Ihe two species oi SigillarlosU'ohus were communicated to 

 nie by Mr. Hemingway, Sigillarla Sol by Mr. C. Eradshaw, and 

 Slglllaria senilpidvlnaia was first received from the late Mr. E. 

 Tindal, Leeds, but subsequently I received specimens of the 

 same plant from the late Mr. J. W. Davis, F.G.S., Halifax, and 

 this year it was again sent me by Mr. J. W. Bond, Leeds. To 

 ^n-. Bond we are also indebted for the records of Sphenopterls 

 (^dlantoldcs L. & H., Sigillarla MlcaudlZtiWQX, and Carpolithus 

 ellipticus Sternb. Lcpulodendron Feachll Kidston has been 

 shewn me by Mr. Spencer, Halifax, and to Mr. Hemingway 

 we are indebted for the additions to our list of Slglllaria Davreuxil 

 ^r"ongt. and Slglllaria Fclstniantell Geinitz.
