REPORT FOR 1890 ON THE FUNGI OF THE BAST 
OF SCOTLAND. 
(Read at the Meeting of the U.S.U.KS. at Montrose in 1890.) 
By Prof. James W. H. Trail, A.M., M.D., F.L.S. 
MY Report on this occasion for the first time includes the 
Province of "Forth;" the species now recorded for that 
district were collected by myself in Fifeshire in August, 1889. 
The additions here recorded from ^'Tay," were collected partly 
in Fifeshire in August, partly near Perth in October, 1889, and I 
have also included a few found at St. Cyrus in July, 1890. The 
records for " Dee " are fewer than usual, owing to want of leisure 
to work up the accumulations of material awaiting scrutiny. I 
have included in this list a few species recently published by 
others ; and in each case the reference to the place of publication 
is given. I include a few species found by me since this list was 
read in July, 1890. The names of those species that had not been 
recorded from Scotland previous to my last Report, viz.^ that for 
1889, marked with an asterisk.
