FLORA OF LEICESTERSHIRE. 
103 
Next, we come to the Hyphomycetes , altogether 22 species, instead 
of at least ten times that number, not even Brachysporium 
Bloxami, Cooke, Grevillea , xii., p. 36, or the beautiful Tripos- 
porium elegans , Corda, first collected in Britain by Bloxam at 
Twycross. All the Sphceriacei, or rather all the Pyrenomycetes , 
are represented by 33 species, not even including Diaporthe acus , 
Bloxam. The larger fungi ( Hymenomycetes ) present a better list, 
but even here it is a misfortune to miss Hydnum Weinmanni , Fr., 
for which Bristol and Twycross were the only known British 
localities for twenty years. 
Notwithstanding these drawbacks, we must hail the volume with 
pleasure, as containing the commencement of a catalogue of the 
Fungi of Leicestershire. It is clearly printed, and will be a 
welcome contribution to the natural history of the county. We 
have called attention to the omissions in the hope that a new 
edition will exhibit an improvement, and that the good people of 
Leicester will not accept this as a complete Cryptogamic Flora of 
their county, but rather as a first instalment, which will soon be 
considerably augmented. 
BBITISH SPHiEBOPSIDEAS. 
We have just had our attention called to an inexplicable 
printer’s error, by which in our list all the numbers between 596 
(on p. 108 of Yol. xiv.) and number 606 (on p. 123, Yol. xiv.) 
have been omitted. W e have endeavoured to supply this deficiency, 
but, as our notes are all destroyed, there are one or two numbers 
not accounted for.
