KEPOET FOR 1889 ON THE FUNGI OP THE EAST OF 

 SCOTLAND. 



(Read at the Meeting at Alford on 16th July, 1889.) 

 By Prof. James W. H. Trail, A.M., M.D., F.L.S. 



IN presenting my usual report I am glad to be able to submit a 

 larger number of additions than usual in the province of 

 " Dee ; " records of which the greater part are new to Scotch lists, 

 while several of them have not previously been put on record for 

 Great Britain. A few of the species enumerated below have been 

 mentioned during the year by myself, (and one or two by Mr. 

 Phillips from specimens supplied by me), in papers to which 

 references are appended. I have 7 new records from the neigh- 

 bourhood of St. Cyrus, which should hardly be reckoned as a 

 part of "Tay," though it is included in that province for the 

 present. Some of these are also new records for Scotland. As in 

 my former reports the new Scotch records are printed in ionics. 

 As usual, a number of species regarding which I am in doubt are 

 awaiting further examination. 



[Note. — The subjoined list has been left as it was read before the meeting 

 of the E.S.U.N.S. ; but I possess a number of additional records, the result 

 chiefly of three weeks spent in Fifeshire in August, 1889, and of about a week 

 in September, spent partly at Crieff at the meeting of the Scottish Crypto- 

 gamic Society, and partly with Dr. Buchanan White at Perth. These, which 

 chiefly relate to the districts of "Forth" and "Tay," will appear in due 

 course in the report for 1890.]
