In addition to the above, several other fungi and schizomycetes 
were constantly present, some of which appear to be new ; and as 
foreign intruders, species of Hyphomycetes, etc., among which are 
mentioned Dematium pullulans , De By. and Low, which has else-

P. A. Dangeard ( The Diseases of Apple and Pear Trees; Le 
Botaniste, Aug., 1892) has given the results of a thorough 
investigation as to the causes of the numerous diseases of apple 
and pear trees, caused respectively by fungi, insects, alcoholic 
fermentation, etc. The formulae of various fungicides and 
insecticides, along with mode of application, are also given. The 
paper is illustrated by ten plates and figures in the text, and 
should be studied by everyone interested in the culture of fruit 
trees. 
NOTES. 
The statements respecting the proprietorship of “ Grevillea ” 
that have appeared in the “ Journal of Botany ” and elsewhere are 
entirely imaginary and incorrect. 
The following Societies have held fungus forays during the 
autumn : — 
Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union, at Malton, September 14th and 
15th, for the investigation of the woods on the Castle Howard 
estate. This was the most successful foray of the season, so far as 
attendance of mycologists and number of fungi were concerned. 
Inocybe adequata (Britz.) was added to the British list. 
The Hertfordshire Natural History Society met at Broxbourne 
on September 13th. Many additions were made to the county 
list. Tremellodon gelatinosum (Pers.) and Clavaria stricta (Fr.) 
have since been found by Mr. H. Warner in the same district. 
The Selbourne Society (Lower Thames Valley Branch) spent 
half a day in Richmond Park on October 15th, and found several 
interesting species. 
The Worcestershire Natural History Society held a foray on 
October 27th and 28th at Ockeridge and Shrawley Woods, in the 
vicinity of Worcester. Notwithstanding the previous frosts, heavy 
rains, and the quantity of fallen leaves, fungi were fairly abundant, 
including fine specimens of Strobilomyces strobilaceus (Berk.).* 
The Woolhope Club ramble extended from the 20th to 22nd 
September, weather rainy, fungi scarce ; nevertheless, one new 
species, Omphalia alutacea (C. & M.), was met with. 
The Scottish Cryptogamic Society met at Gargunnock on the 
20th and 21st October. Peziza majalis (Fr.) was added to the 
British list.
