NOTE- -AMPHIBIA. 

 Natterjack Toad at Seascale (ante, pp. 161, 223).— Mr. Hodgson 

 might have proved his point more fully, as the following list of places for 

 Bitfo calamita, from Macpherson's 'Fauna of Lakeland,' p. 464, shows: — 

 Kowness-on-Solway, Silloth, Allonby, Egremont, 'the kitchen garden at 

 C astletown ' ; Seascale therefore carries the record further South. Possibly 

 Mr. Macpherson could have added more, but the great fault of his book 

 is this want of localities. — S. L. Petty, Ulverston, 7th July 1900. 



NOTE— FUNGI. 

 Something Like a Mushroom.— On the 8th July 1900, whilst watching 

 tin- process of mowing a nine-acre meadow field at Cadney, near Brigg, 

 Lincolnshire, I saw a giant Mushroom. It was as fiat as a table and 

 formed a perfect circle. In measurement it was 37 ! 2 inches in circumfer- 

 ence and 12)4 inches across. This shows that it was of a perfect shape, 

 flu- stalk was 5^ inches high, and inches girth one inch from the 

 ground. It was slightly grub eaten. The colour on t ho underneath side 

 was dark chocolate. — Max Peacock, Bottesford, Lincolnshire, i.otfa July 1000.
