The following papers were read : 
1. " Some Notes on the South African Erysiphaceae," by Ethel M. 
DoiDGE, communicated by Dr. Pole-Evans. 
The paper consists of notes on the South African representatives of the 
" powdery mildews." These cause a number of widely-distributed and more 
or less destructive diseases of plants in this country ; but they are not 
easily identified owing to the almost invariable absence of perithecia. 
The species occurring in South Africa are enumerated, and a list given of 
the specimens contained in the Union Mycological Herbarium, Pretoria. 
Two new specimens of the genus Uncinula are described. 
2. " G-eitsi G-ubib, an old Volcano," by A. W. Eogers. 
A geological description is given of G-eitsi Gubib, a ring-shaped mountain 
in German South- West Africa, rising about 5,200 feet above sea-level, and a 
conspicuous object from the railway north of Keetmanshoop. The descrip- 
tion is based on notes taken during a stay by the author of two days on the 
mountain, and on the examination of the rocks brought away.
