1 86 Notes on Microfungi ob sewed in [Sess. 



For comparison, it may be stated that the species of 

 Phy corny cetes referred to in the foregoing list number 31, 

 and Ustilaginese 12, as compared with 51 Phycomycetes and 

 29 Ustilaginese already recorded for the Clyde Area. It is 

 therefore evident that much work in the investigation of these 

 groups yet requires to be done before the list for the Forth 

 Area can be regarded as even approximately complete. 



XIII.— NOTES ON MICROFUNGI OBSERVED IN 

 STIRLINGSHIRE AND PERTHSHIRE. 



By Mr D. A. BOYD, Corresponding Member. 

 {Read March 24, 1915.) 



Duking the year 1914 brief visits were made by the writer 

 to several localities within the Forth Area. On these occa- 

 sions, so far as time permitted, a search was made for 

 microfungi and a careful record kept of the species which 

 could be satisfactorily determined. 



On 6th April, in the neighbourhood of Callander, observa- 

 tions were made in the vicinity of the Hydropathic, as well 

 as on the Trossachs road and in the Pass of Leny. On 9th 

 June the Dunblane district was visited, when numerous 

 species were noted on the Kilbryde road, old Doune road, 

 and on the way to Kippenrait Glen. On 4th July a visit 

 was made to Aberfoyle and Loch Ard ; and on 16 th 

 September to Stirling, Logie, Bridge of Allan, Kippenrait 

 Glen, and Dunblane. As the Wharry Burn, which passes 

 through Kippenrait Glen, forms the county boundary, the 

 species observed on the Stirlingshire side have been denoted 

 in the following list by the letter " S," while those seen on 

 the Perthshire side are denoted by the letter " P." 



Although the information obtained on these occasions was, 

 of course, merely fragmentary, it may possess some interest as 

 affording records of several species not previously reported for
