NEW BRITISH FUNGI. 
Stereum ochroleucum, Fr. Hym. Eur., 639. 
Pileus between coriaceous and membranaceous, free, expanded, 
flaccid, silky, zoned, hoary ; hymenium even, smooth, yellowish. 
On prostrate trunks. Kew Gardens, Nov., 1882. 
tl Commonly broad, zones same colour, or tawny ; coating of 
the pileus usually falling away ; hymenium often rimose, as in 
Corticium — Fries. 
Often effused, and then resembling a Corticium, but sometimes 
the margin is reflexed, forming a white silky zoned pileus. 
Hymenium pale flesh colour or ochraceous, often cracked with age 
or drying, like Corticium. It has some resemblance to thin forms 
of Stereum purpureum, from which it is at once distinguished by 
the different colour of the hymenium. Probably the species of 
Fries, but neither the Rev. M. J. Berkeley or myself have seen 
an authentic specimen. 
Ramularia Malvae, Fckl. Symb.,p. 360. 
Tufts lax, pallid, seated on orbicular, elongated, or irregular 
bleached spots ; flocci erect, mostly simple ; conidia sub- 
cylindrical, obtuse, simple or at length uniseptate, hyaline ( '03 X 
•005 mm.). 
On leaves of Malva moschata. Forres (Rev. J. Keith). 
Probably only a variety of the species described by Fuckel, of 
which we have seen no specimen. Above is description of the 
Scotch form. 
Cercospora Calthae, Cke. 
Spots small, orbicular, pallid, girt by a dark brown marginal 
ring. Threads very delicate, short, scarcely branched, hyaline. 
Spores cylindrical, obtues, 1-2 septate, thin, hyaline, but little 
thicker than the threads, (about *015-*02 x *002 mm.) 
On leaves of Caltha palustris. Forres. (Rev. J. Keith) 
We have not been able to find such a delicate species described, 
although it is difficult in these days, when species are swarming 
like bees, to ascertain what have been described, especially with the 
“ Jahresbericht ” for 1878, still uncompleted. 
FUNGUS FORAYS, 1882. 
Cryptogamic Society of Scotland. — The Annual Conference 
of this Society was held at Kenmore, Pertshire, on September 
4th and following days. We have no report of the meeting, but 
hear that it was satisfactory. 
Essex Field Club. — The Annual Foray, in Epping Forest, 
took place on the 23rd of September, and was in all respects 
satisfactory. Several interesting species were found, notably 
Cortinarius renidens for the first time in Britain. And altogether, 
twenty- two species were added to the Forest list of Hymenomy- 
cetes. In the evening a meeting was held, at which the results of
