 Society for the season 1896-7 : —

" The preponderance of species belonging to the genus

 considered a new area, rich in species, and interesting as form- 

 ing a link between the Mycologic floras of England and 

 France." 



Mr. A. Collenette exhibited various bones found in the 

 peat at FAncresse, and described in the geological results of 

 the last two excursions. 



Rev. G. E. Lee stated that peat was found on the shores 

 of Brittany under exactly the same conditions as in Guernsey. 



Rev. Lee then gave a description of the Dolmens of 

 Brittany, many of them of enormous size. One of these,
