List of Fungi found in the immediate neighbourhood of 

 Roxburgh. By Rev. David Paul, M.A. 



The following list of larger and less common Fungi is supple- 

 mentary to tlie lists contributed by the late Mr A. Jerdon, 

 Jedburgh, and published in the Transactions of the Club for 

 1863, 1866, and 1868. The species have not heretofore been 

 recorded from the Border District, which is rich in Fungi, but 

 has been as yet hardly explored at all. Mycology possesses at 

 present the peculiar interest of being a somewhat fresh branch 

 of botanical study, which may be expected to yield to the student 

 not only new localities for the rarer forms, but many species new 

 to Scotland, and to Britain. It is to be hoped that some of the 

 botanical members of the Club will help to place it on better 

 footing than it has hitherto had among us. The nomenclature 

 in the list is, for the Agaricini and Polyporei, that of the 2nd 

 edit, of Fries' Hymenomycetes Europaei.
