Other Uredines collected were : —

U. Alchemillae ; U . Ficaviae ; 
U. Scillarum ; U . Junci ; 
U. Dactylidis on Ranunculus repens ; 
Puccinia expansa on Senecio Jacobaea ; 
P. obtegens on Cirsium arvense ; 
P. Hypochoeridis ; 
P . major on Crepis paludosa ; 
P. Chondrillae on Lactuca muralis ; 
P . Betonicae ; 
P. Conopodii-Bistortae on Bistort, new to V.C. 65 ; 
P. Winteriana on Allium ursinum ; 
Coleosporium Tussilaginis . 
A pile of damp sticks damming a drain to the Dee, afforded Mr. 
W. G. Bramley and the writer good hunting ; it yielded the following 
species : Collybia tuber osa, Mycena tenerrima, Fomes ferruginosus , Poria 
mollusca, Stereum sanguinolenta, Polystictus velutinus, Irpex obliquus, 
Peniophora velutina. Also a few Pyrenomycetes, Nectria cinnabarina, 
Leptosphaeria ovina, Melanomma pulvis-pyrius , Diatrype disciformis, 
Diatrypella quercina, D. favacea, and the following Discomycetes : Caly- 
cella citrina, Coryne sarcoides, Orbilia leucostigma , Hyalinia inflatula, new 
to V.C. 65, Helotium herbarum and H . lutescens. On a bank near the same 
place was found a large specimen of the Morel, Morchella crassipes Krombh. , 
a species not previously recorded in V.C. 65. Only two other species among 
the larger Discos were noted : Miss L. M. Anderson collected Acetabula 
vulgaris, while Mr. W. E. L. Wattam brought in Peziza vesiculosa. 
On wet sticks in Helmside Ghyll Miss D. Wooff collected two species 
of Ombrophila, O. clavus (A. & S.) Cooke and O. rudis (Berk.) Phill. 
respectively, and Apostemidium Guernisaci (Cr.) Boud. ; the two last- 
named species are new records for V.C. 65. 
Miss Wooff also collected in the same Ghyll two insects attacked by 
fungi. The specimens were submitted to Mr. T. Petch, who has 
identified the fungus on both insects as Entomophthora dipterigena 
Thaxter, in one case on a Tipulid, while the other insect appears to be a 
Tick. This is the first record of the entomophyte in V.C. 65. 
Agarics were scarce and the less common species were Crepidotus 
Ralfsii, Flammula alnicola and Hypholoma sublateritium . 
The woods were too dry for Myxomycetes and only a few species were 
observed. Mr. J. L. Illingworth collected Physarum viride, Didymium 
squamulosum, Arcyria denudata and a Trichia sp. parasitized by 
Tilachlidium tomentosa. 
Conchology (Mrs. E. M. Morehouse) : — It was very disappointing 
that the yield of molluscan life was not greater in the Dent area. Two 
especially, of the molluscs usually found on loose limestone walls, being 
entirely absent. No doubt this is due to the geological formation of 
the district. The commoner species of slugs were much in evidence, 
eight were taken in all. Arion ater v. plumbea (Roebuck) and Arion 
intermedius (Normand) — \minimus\ (Simroth) in the valley of the 
River Dee towards Dent Station being the most interesting. Among 
the twenty land molluscs Balea perversa (Linne), Acanthinula aculeata 
(Muller) and Euconulus fulvus (Muller) were the most uncommon. 
Ancylus fluviatilis (Muller) was found on stones in the becks and streams 
in three or four localities. 
Entomology (J. M. Brown) : — The week-end weather was almost 
ideal for the entomologists, who, though few in number, but assisted 
by a number of botanists, were able to do a considerable amount of work.
