Fungi found at Roxburgh. By Rev. David Paul. 520 



The vegetation of Brittairp is much, the same as that of Britain, 

 especially that of the south of England. The bell-heather is so 

 beautiful on the landes or moors, which are limestone plains 

 little above the level of the sea, that it might be worth trying it 

 as a cultivated plant, with lime. The Scotch heather seems 

 enervated by the climate ; it is rather feeble where it appears. 



The small flocks of a dozen or half-a-dozen sheep are often 

 perfectly black, the colour of black cows. I never saw the breed 

 in Britain, but I believe it exists on high-lying farms even in the 

 south of Scotland ; and-no doubt the grey plaid, as mentioned in 

 an account of Galloway, was originally woven of the natural 

 black and white wool. 



No English is spoken in Lower Brittany, even at the principal 

 hotels ; but French is quite enough, though the actual country- 

 people only understand their own language. 



Notices of Fungi found mostly in the neighbourhood of 

 Roxburgh in 188G, and hitherto unrecorded from the 

 District of the Club. By Rev. David Paul, M.A., Rox- 

 burgh. 



1. Agaric u&(Ar miliaria) bulbiger,A.& S. At Sunlaws; October; 



among thin grass in open wood. — Very remarkable among 

 the white-spored agarics, different from all the other 

 species of the subgenus, and with something of the habit 

 of the Turbinate Cortinarii, though quite distinct from 

 them . — Rare. 



2. Ag. (Tricholoma) albobrtjnneus, P. At Rutherford, etc., in 



woods ; September. I find this Fungus more common than 

 the nearly allied flavobrunneus. 



3. Ag. (Trich). arcuatus, Bull. At Sunlaws ; September 1885. 



Confirmed by Rev. M. J. Berkley. 



4. Ag/ ClitocybeJ fumosus, Pers. At Sunlaws ; October. Densely 

 coespitose in a wide circle on grass. This was the plant in 

 its usual state ; the fungus already recorded from Bowhill 

 was one of several abnormal forms. 



5. Ag. {Clit). brumalis, Fr. At Sunlaws ; October. 



0. Ag. {CUt). ditopus, Fr. At Sunlaws; October — strong smell 



of new meal. 

 7. Ag. ( Collylia) rancidus, Fr, October. I have observed this
