NOTE ON CALIFORNIAN SP II DERIVE 
“ Grevillea,” Yol. VII., p. 73. 
The plant described by me under the name, Sphceria propagata , 
I have reason to believe is only a form of Schweinitz’ Valsa Vitis , 
from which it differs in habit, &c., but not sufficiently so as to be 
worthy of regard as a distinct species. 
By an error in the same paper, the term “ ovate ” is used instead 
of “ oval ” in the description of the sporidia of Sphceria arcto- 
8taphylos, sustenta, and sambuci.

WOOLHOPE CLUB, 1879. 
The annual meeting of the Woolhope Club commenced this 
year on the 29th September, at Hereford. A full report of the 
proceedings during the week will be found in the ‘ Gardener’s 
Chronicle ” for October. 
In quantity the fungi by no means equalled that of previous 
years, but in objects of interest the meeting was quite on an 
equality with its predecessors. The following list does not include 
the commonest species which may be met with anywhere, but only 
those worthy of note in an exceptional year. The species found 
in Great Britain for the first time are accompanied by descriptions, 
and these may be regarded as a continuation of our records of 
“ New British Fungi.” 
The presence of the Rev. M. J. Berkeley, Dr. Quelet, Mons. E. 
Boudier, and Dr. Maxime Cornu, in addition to the usual visitors, 
will account for the detection of so many additional species.
