FORTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT, FOR I907. 
'9 
Special efforts have been made at each excursion during the 
year to devote increased attention to this important branch of 
natural history. At Robin Hood's Bay 74 species were noted : 
these include i new to the county, and 4 to the N.E. division. 
At South Cave 48 species were met with, 6 of which were new to 
the S.E. division. At Thorne Waste 51 were collected, including- 
2 species new to the county, and i new to science, the diagnosis 
of which will be published in "The Naturalist" in due course. 
At the Arncliffe meeting- 107 species were seen and examined ; 
2 of these were new to the county, and 21 to the Mid,-W. 
division. 
Mr. Gibbs represented the Committee at the Horton-in- 
Ribblesdale meeting (see "The Naturalist" for November). 
It has been a pleasure to find that the members generally, 
who attend the meetings, take a much greater interest in these 
things than formerly. At the Robin Hood's Bay meeting Mr. 
Riley Fortune photographed a fine group of the St. George's 
mushroom (see "The Naturalist," July, p. 254). 
The Annual Fungus Foray held at Grassing-toD, a report of 
which appeared in the November " Naturalist," was very satisfac- 
tory, considering the unfavourable cold weather which prevailed 
during the summer months, 320 specimens were brought in from 
the three localities worked : — Grassington, Bolton Woods, and 
Buckden. Among them were 6 new to the county, and 53 were 
additions to the fungus flora of the Mid.-W. division. 
During the season J. W. H. Johnson has sent several con- 
signments from near Horbury.
