Yorkshire Naturalists at Filey.

members were glad to meet with Sparganium simplex as it is scarce in 
their district. 
Apium inundatum seems quite happy in the same pond (along the 
margin), although as far as the writer remembers, only one specimen 
was found at Whitsuntide, 1914. Cakile maritima occurred at the foot 
of the cliffs near the ponds, and this is unusual as the tide washes the 
foot of the cliff. At Cayton Bay the plant disappears and then again 
occurs after two or three years, and one would like to know if the seeds 
are carried by water. 
Mycology (F. A. Mason). — Excellent lists of fungi are given in 
the two reports in The Naturalist, to which reference has been made. 
The following species are additions to those lists ; all were gathered 
either on the Boulder Clay, or were parasitic on plants growing thereon. 
Omphalia fibula (Bull.) Fr. Coprinus radiatus (Bolt.) Fr. 
Hygrophorus niveus (Scop.) Fr. Dacryomyces deliquescens Duby. 
H. psittacinus (Schaeff.) Fr. Ustilago Hordei Jensen 
Marasmius oreades (Bolt.) Fr., in fine large fairy rings.

P. arvensis (Schaeff .) Fr. Phyllachora junci Fr.

During the wait for the Filey train at Seamer, a cherry tree was 
found attacked by ‘ leaf scorch/ a disease produced by the fungus 
Gnomonia erythrostoma Awersw. 
Vertebrate Zoology (S. H. Smith). — The party divided, some 
proceeding by train to Speeton and walking back to Filey along the cliff 
top ; the writer and others taking the shore route on foot to Speeton and 
the cliff top route on return. There is nothing of outstanding note to 
report, except the fact of the Fulmar Petrel commencing nesting in the 
Speeton Cliffs . Unfortunately the climbers are taking the eggs and selling 
them to collectors, who await the egg gatherers’ raids on the nesting 
ledges thronged with Guillimots. and Razorbills. The Fulmar is pro- 
tected by the Wild Birds Acts, but has been omitted from the Yorkshire
