YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS AT FILEY. 
{Continued, from page 225). 
Mycological. — Mr. T. B. Roe writes Filey is not by any 
means an ideal hunting ground for the mycologist, nevertheless, 
by diligent searching, and by the assistance of Mr. R. Fowler 
Jones and Mr. Ackroyd, several interesting species were found, 
mostly microscopic, and a good proportion being ‘ rusts.’ The 
cliffs to the south of the town were examined, also a ravine and 
some small ponds in the undercliff. 
In the ravine by the side of a small beck the aecidia of 
Puccinia pulverulenta Grev., were in abundance on Epilobium 
Jiir sit turn, and also Puccinia caricis Reb. in the uredo stage on 
Car ex acutiformis. In many of the flowers of Lychnis diurna 
the anthers were smutted with Ustilago violacea Pers. On the 
slope of the ravine Puccinia betonicce D.C. occurred in quantity, 
the reddish-brown teleutospores being easily noticeable. Here 
also was found Ramularia primulce Thum. on Primula vulgaris. 
The ash-trees were noticed to be badly attacked by ash- 
■canker, a bacterial disease causing great damage to. and often 
destroying them, particularly when young. 
By the side of the ponds two interesting little discomycetes 
were found, Dasyscypha diminuta (Rob.) Sacc. on dead Juncus, 
and D. conformis Sacc. on dead Equisetum. The St. George’s 
mushroom, Tricholoma gambosum Fr. was collected in the 
grass near the ponds, and on the leaves of Menyanthes trifoliata, 
Protomyces menyanthis De Bary was found. ■ The most 
interesting species obtained was Uromyces flectens Lagerh. on 
Trifolium repens. This species is new to Yorkshire. It differs 
from U. trifolii in the larger sori and in having only the 
teleutospore stage. 
Of the thirty-four species collected the following are new 
records for the Filey district included under C.D. (South-East).

Xeuroptera and Trichoptera. — Mr. G. T. Porritt 
reports that in consequence of the cold weather, and the 
scarcity of fresh water, very few insects in these orders were
