FUNGUS FORAYS, 1887. 
ment, and public exhibition, of the well-labelled specimens through- 
out the day made up for the absence of a large number of species, 
by turning to the best account those which were obtained. 
Essex Field Club. — The Annual Foray of two days followed 
the precedent of previous years. On October 28th and 29th 
Forays were made in all directions from Buckhurst Hill into the 
Forest, the first day chiefly in the part north of Epping, and on 
the second day around Monk’s Woods, High Beach, &c. Two 
more splendid days could hardly have been selected as far as 
weather was concerned, but the results of the dry season were 
lamentably present everywhere. The additions made to the Essex 
lists were few, but not without interest. Cortinarius brunneus , Fr., 
of which this typical form has, perhaps, not been found in Britain, 
certainly not recorded, since the time of Withering ; the other ad- 
ditions to the local flora were : Agaricus ( Clitocybe ) catinus , Fr. ; 
Cortinarius hemitrichus , Fr. ; Cortinarius dolabratus , Fr. ; Cor- 
tinarius torvus , Fr. ; Hygrophorus russo-coriaceus , B. & B. ; and 
Sphcerobolus stellatus, Fr. Tea, exhibition of specimens collected 
duly named and arranged, and a short evening meeting, with a 
report by M. C. Cooke on the results of the Foray, closed the last 
of the Forays of 1887.
