MYCETOZOA. 



Badhamia rubiginosa Rost. var. globosa n. var. — This 

 Mycetozoan was described in the 'Journal of Botany' for May 

 1904 by Mr. and Miss Lister, the variety being- then published 

 as new. On 3rd September 1901 I gathered Sphagnum 

 turfaceiim in Arncliffe Wood, N.E. Yorkshire. This was 

 growing- with capitula growling downwards and in dense masses 

 on vertical dripping rocks. On closer inspection I found the 

 Sphagnum covered, chiefly along the stem, with numerous black 

 dots on tiny stalks. Miss Lister, a specialist on Mycetozoa, has 

 determined this as the new var. globosa of Badha^nia rubiginosa , 

 which she describes as follows : — 'Sporangia subglobose, slightly 

 umbilicate below, 0*5 mm. high, 0*7 mm. broad, purplish grey ; 

 stalks o"6 mm. to i mm. long, o'i2 mm. thick, dark purple 

 brown.' It was found in a wild ravine near Llan-y-Mawddwy, 

 N. Wales, in 1895, 1898, and in September 1902, also associated 

 with moss and wet rocks, as with my gathering, whereas the 

 normal form grows on leaves or fir-needles under trees. Miss 

 Lister finds the Arncliff'e Wood specimen curiously destitute of 

 the lime granules with which the capillitium, wall, and stalk are 

 generally charged. — Wm. Ingham, 15th October 1904.
