tristrigella mining the underside of elm leaves ; spinicolella mining sloe ; 

 emberizapennella and tri/ascielta mining honeysuckle; faginella in the under- 

 side of beech leaves ; bremiella in bush vetch leaves, and torminella in the 

 underside of leaves of Sorbus torminalis. 



Among the other leaf-mining larvse, which we find in September, are the 

 pale green Syonetia Clerckella, which makes long serpentine galleries in leaves 

 of apple and cherry trees ; the greenish white Cemiostoma laburnella, which 

 we find in large pale blotches on laburnum leaves ; C. scitella, which makes 

 flat brown blotches on apple and hawthorn ; and several members of the 

 gen as Nepiicula, which make long slender gallieries or small blotches in 

 various leaves, as atricapitella and subbimaculella in oak, pygmaella and 

 oxyacanthella in hawthorn, viscereila in elm, anomalella in rose leaves, catli- 

 articella in buckthorn leaves, trimaculella in poplar, floslactella in nut and 

 hornbeam, luteella and argentipedella in birch, tityrella in beech, and plagi-

A FUNGUS FORAY. 



With the advent of autumn, the naturalists' attention is claimed by those 

 wonderful creations of nature, the Fungi ; and, though the number of those 

 interested in this study is limited, compared with other branches of natural 

 history, we think that the following short account of the last annual Fungus 

 Foray, by members of " The Hackney Microscopical and Natural History 

 Society/' will be of interest to many of our subscribers. The Foray was held 

 in Epping Forest, on Saturday, October 24th, 1885. The route being from 

 Chingford, through the Green Ride and High Beech to Loughton, and from 

 thence to Fairmead Lodge. Although the weather was unfavourable the 

 attendance was fairly good. The President, Dr. M. C. Cooke, M.A., L.L.D., 

 A.L.S., an eminent authority on Fungi; Mr. George Massee, Mr. H. Cole, 

 Hon. Sec. to the Essex Field Club, and other scientific gentlemen were with 

 the party. The way led through forest scenery of great beauty, many objects 

 of interest were pointed out, the Fungi being the speciality of the Foray 

 claimed the greatest attention. The finds w r ere very numerous, as will be 

 seen by the subjoined list
