MYXOMYCETES. 



Of the places visited on the excursions the most favourable 

 for collecting Myxomycetes were Murlough Bay and Bally- 

 castle. In the woods at Murlough there were many fallen and 

 decaying trees, and had there been more time available the 

 number of specimens obtained there would, no doubt, have been 

 larger. It may be of interest to note that a specimen of the 

 Millepede Polydesmtts coriaceus was found here, apparently feeding 

 on the spores of Reticnlaria Lycoperdon. 



The wood by the railway, near Ballycastle, also proved to be 

 a very good collecting ground. Here were found specimens of 

 Ceratiomyxa mucida, with three species of Trichia and one of 

 Lycogala. 



Through the courtesy of Miss G. Lister, F.L.S., the above 

 specimens have been verified, and I desire to record my grateful 

 thanks for her kind assistance.
