Morel and Wood-Betony Bhght in Cumberland.— A fine specimen of this 

 fungus {Morchcda semilibera DC.) was sent me in May 1896 from Seaton, 

 near Workington, in Cumberland. As so little is known of the distribution of 

 the rarer cryptogams in this district, I think it well to place this on record. 

 I was able to take an excellent photograph of this specimen, which was five or 

 six inches in height I may also add that the Wood Betony Blight {Pzucinuz 

 betonuce DC.) ;s plentiful m a lane near Erandlingil], Cockermouth, where it 

 recurs every year.-HiLDERic Friend, Cockermouth, 16th June, 1S96.
