sporophores as if growing- out of it. x\t the Cadeby Foray 

 held in 1901, the myceHum of Triclioloina leucocephaliim had 

 penetrated a dead hedg-ehogf squashed flat on the floor of the 

 wood, and, to all appearance, the sporophores, six or seven in 

 number, were g^rowing- directly out of the dead animal. 



The rug was as little disturbed as possible, sharp scissors or

Azeca tridens, etc., in Lincolnshire.— While out for a 

 short ramble on ist September with Mr. A. R. Yeoman, M.A., 

 of Newcastle, I turned over a few pieces of timber in Acthorpe 

 Wood, near Louth. Under one piece I found a sing-le specimen 

 of Aseca tridens var. 7ionletiana. Being- anxious to find addi- 

 tional specimens, I have since visited the wood a few times and 

 find them to be fairly common ; on the second occasion I col- 

 lected fourteen. Acthorpe Wood is on the boulder clay and 

 consists chiefly of Oak, Elm, Ash, and Chestnut trees, and 

 a considerable amount of herbage, among'st which was the 

 somewhat rare Sedg-e — Carex IcEvigata and f uncus bufonins ; two 

 varieties of Bramble were particularly noticeable, viz.: — Ruhus 

 corylifolius and R. glandtilosus. The plants were identified by 

 Mr. F. Arnold Lees, who, with some members of the Louth 

 Ant. and Nat. Soc, visited the wood on 19th September. In 

 order that the identification of the Azeca tridens should have 

 equal value with previous new records for the county it has 

 been submitted to Mr. J. W. Taylor, who kindly verified it. 

 Other species found in the same place on the few visits in 

 September w^ere : — Arion ater, A. intermedins, A. circumscriptus, 

 Limax maximus — at 4 p.m. I saw one adult eating- a fung-us 

 {^Agaric us sp. ), Limax arbor u?n, Agriolimax agrestis var. syl-
