On the Fringe of the Cleveland Hills. 409 



The last three mosses indicate that Mr. Snelgrove had found 

 a much-desired wet district. The above may be considered 

 satisfactory in the absence of rocks, cliffs, and especially drip- 

 ping cliffs. 



The four plants above marked * had previously been 

 recorded in ' Baker's North Yorkshire.' 



Mycology. — Mr. T. Gibbs writes : — The two mycologists, 

 Mr. W. N. Cheesman, F.L.S., and the writer spent most of their 

 time in the lower and moister portions of the fine woods which 

 cover the slopes of this portion of the Cleveland Hills, these 

 being the only places which were likely to prove at all productive 

 after the spell of fine, dry weather, which we had lately passed 

 through. A diligent search of tree trunks, stumps, and dead 

 branches and twigs, of which there were plenty ; and of decay- 

 ing herbaceous stems in the swampy places, atoned for the 

 deficiency of large Agarics in the pastures and wTjodlands, by 

 revealing many interesting minute species which might have 

 been overlooked in presence of an abundant crop of the larger 

 species. On the Saturday afternoon, a strip of woodland in 

 the lower portion of the Codbeck, near to Kirby Sigston was 

 investigated. The species found there are given as ' Codbeck " 

 in the list below. Members of other sections, as usual, contri- 

 buted by bringing in such specimens as they noticed, these 

 including an interesting Puffball from the high moor not yet 

 determined. 



In the list which follows one species, Nolanea minuta Karst, 

 does not appear to have been previously recorded as 

 British, this is distinguished by an Five species (marked t), 

 are new to Yorkshire, and three others (marked ij new to vice- 

 county X.E. Yorkshire.
