Consignments of Fungi may be sent from any part of Yorkshire or Lincolnshire 
by parcel post, addressed to Mr. Crossland, c/o. Mr, C. Weightman, White 
Swan Hotel, Maltby. These should be carefully packed with grass or moss 
(not paper) in suitable boxes. 
There do not appear to have been any Fungi recorded in the "Naturalist" 
for this district. The May Meeting held here in 1884 was too early in the season 
for many of this class of plant. 
The " History of Roche Abbey," by J. H. Aveling : Worksop 1870, contains 
in an addendum "The Flora of Roche Abbey," including a list of Fungi; these 
are to be found in Lees' "Flora of West Yorkshire." Among them are many 
uncommon species, several of which will most likely be met with by a careful 
investigation of the district. The pastures, woodlands, and other shaded places 
should also produce additions to the Yorkshire, if not to the British Flora.
