By James SaunpErs. 
In continuation of the papers on the flora of South Beds which 
have appeared in this Journal at intervals for the last ten years, 
the following list of Mycetozoa is given as a first instalment. The 
species observed in oe contiguous portions of Hertfordshire are 
also enumerated. Some hundreds o specimens have been os 
and a still larger ae have been observed in the field, but o 
two or three Stations at most are given for each county for we 
ubiquitous. forr 
a ‘he plasmodium of Badhamia pallida Berk. is referred to by Rev. M. 
jer aie as having 8 been noticed by Badham at East Ber ergholt, in March, 1861 
(Trans. ae Soc. xxi. t. 19, p. 154). Examination of the e type specimen in the 
K gear ra proves this to be the same species as Badhamia inaurata 0
