station. This heap I was farther told was of such dimensions that 
the sand martins nested annually in it; a very interesting fact 
alone, and a sufficient guarantee of the permanency of the accumu- 
lation, so much so, that I felt sure a visit would be amply repaid. 
Through the kindness of the proprietors I had the opportunity of 
working over the whole yard, which has been accumulating for 
many } r ears. The wood used is almost without exception of home 
growth, so no imported species were met with. Upon the sawdust 
heap above mentioned, Boletus sulphureus, a very handsome species 
was found. 'This has I believe not previously been found in 
England, although the Bev. J. Keith met with it near Forres, a 
year or two ago, where it likewise occurred upon sawdust. Several 
species of the Mgxogasters were growing luxuriantly upon this 
heap of sawdust; some in great profusion as Cribraria arg ill area, 
which covered several square feet of surface more or less 
closely. 
Although late in the year a good number of Ilymenomycete 
were met with, of which Agaricus seminndus, Lasch., and Merulius 
aureus, Fr., are new to the British flora. Of the smaller species 
perhaps the most interesting was a minute Splueria, which grew in 
clusters upon the ground, in company with a black mould 
( Helicrma mulleri) its conidia. This plant will be described in an 
early number of Grevillea.
