great profusion, on the ground amongst moss, the short stems 
attached to the root-fibres of the moss ; and Ilelotium geogenuniy 
C., a species apparently undescribed. 
Helotium geogenum. Coolte. 
Candidum. Cupulis obconis in stipitem abbreviatem productis, 
hymenio piano- convexo, 2-3 mm. diam. Sporidiis fusiformibus, 
’02d--035 X •005--007 mm. Paraphysibus attenuatis, linearibus. 
It was found on the ground, but apparently attached to frag- 
ments of rotten wood. 
Melogramma Bulliardi^ Tul., and Melogramma rubricosum, Fr., 
were found in considerable quantity. 
The long-continued dry and cold weather which preceded the 
session was quite unusual, and rendered the season one of the most 
barren and unfavourable in the memory of the oldest mycologist. 
WOOLHOPE CLUB FORAY. 
The Annual Woolhope Club Foray week commenced this year 
on the 1st of October, and was one of the most successful of the 
series, although Fungi were scarce, but the weather was unusually 
fine, and the presence of two illustrious visitors from the opposite 
side of the Channel gave additional interest to the meetings. The 
President of the Societe Botanique de France, Professor Jules de 
Seynes, and Dr. Max Cornu, Botanical Lecturer and Conservator 
of the National Museum at the Jardin des Plantes, visited England 
for the first time in order to be present at the Woolhope Meetings. 
A full account of the proceedings has already been given in the 
“ Gardener’s Chronicle,’^ to which we can add but little, except to 
name two or three new or rare fungi, which were too minute to 
excite the interest of the Chronicler of the Club. One of these 
was Lindhladia effusa, R., one of the Myxomycetes, only once 
before recorded in Britain, and of the others, a new species of 
Peziza on burnt soil, described in the present number as Peziza 
W oolhopei, in honour of this occasion, d'he rare Agaricus cypliel- 
Iceformis, several specimens of Helvella elastica, Peziza coesia, 
Peziza succosa, and some others of less interest. 
Several papers were read, one of the most important of which — 
on a fossil Peronospora — has already been published elsewhere, and 
Craterellus cornucopioides, was for the first time cooked, and served 
at the dinner of the Club. 
CATALOGUE OF DIATOxMACE^. 
We are requested to intimate that Mr. Fred. Habrishaw, F.R.M.S., 
of No. 6, West 48th Street, New York, is preparing a list of all 
known species of Diatomacese, with references to figures and syno- 
nyms, and would be glad of any assistance in rendering his Cata- 
logue as complete as possible.
