YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS' UNION. 
3. True Mosses. — Hypnum Wilsoni var. hamatum on Skip- 
with Common (teste Renauld) ; Leptodontitim fiexi- 
joliiim on hillside descending to Wheeldale, Goath- 
lahd, a large form ; Hypmim vernicosiim in Beck 
Dale, Helmsley, this and the same species also found 
by W. Ingham, by Semmerwater, adding two definite 
records to the solitary one in Baker's N. Yorkshire 
for this very rare moss ; Dicranmn Bonjeani var. 
calcareum in fruit in Stockton Forest, the fruit being 
exceedingly rare for this variety, and difficult to 
find, the fruit being apparently hitherto unknown 
with the var. ; Amblystcgiiim J iiyatzkaniim, good 
and typical, on Skipwith Common, also good 
var. intermedium of Hypmim adiinciim on the same 
Common ; Barhida rigidida var. ohtusifolia Ingh. MS. 
on small stone bridge near Newton-on-Ouse, another 
record being South Devon ; and Bavhida revoluta on 
wall, Kirkham Abbey, an addition to East Riding 
Mosses.

IVIycolOglcal Committee.. — Mr. C. Crossland writes 
]\Iore attention than ever before has been given to Mycology at 
the several meetings during the 3^ear. One or other of the Com- 
mittee have made a point of attending each excursion ; at the 
Brafferton-Topcliffe meeting three were present. Clapham and 
Hampole only have been unrepresented, but at the latter meeting 
Mr. Malone, Bradford, and Mr. Jones, York, collected specimens of 
all the fungi they saw, and forwarded them to the writer. Both 
consignments contained uncommon species, one being a welcome 
confirmation of a ver}^ old record which we consider quite equal 
to a new find. 
In the June issue of " The Naturalist," the second instal- 
ment of newly discovered fungi in Yorkshire since the publication 
of the Yorkshire Fungus Flora, made its appearance, and included 
one new to science, and twenty-four new to the county, bringing 
up the total to 2706. Another batch of new finds is in preparation.
