In conjunction with the British Mycological Society. 
r PHE Thirty-Seventh Annual Conference of the Society was held 
at Forres, September 17th, 18th and 19th, 1912. Twelve 
members were present. Interest and importance were added 
to the meeting from the fact that the British Mycological 
Society also held their Annual Autumn Meeting at the same place 
and time, under the Presidency of Miss Gulielma Lister, F.L.S. 
The Moray Arms Hotel was the joint headquarters of both 
Societies. The localities visited in the neighbourhood of Forres were 
Cluny Hill and Sanquhar on the first day, the banks of the Find- 
horn and Darnaway on the second, and Altyre Woods on the third. 
With the exception of the forenoon of the 17th, when rain fell, the 
weather was ideal, and the country was looking at its best, the 
walk up the Findhorn from Sluie to Divie Bridge being particularly 
beautiful. Fungi of all kinds were unusually abundant, and many 
of the party being skilled observers, a very large number rvas 
recorded, as appears from the lists here given. The district is 
specially favourable to the growth of these plants, and is associated 
in the minds of all Scottish mycologists with the name of the Rev. 
Dr. Keith, an ardent student of Cryptogamic Botany, who was for 
many years minister of Forres. It was a pleasure to the Crypto¬ 
gamic Society to meet with its sister Society from England, and 
the meeting may be regarded as one of the most successful in the 
history of either Society. 
The lists which follow embrace the finds of both Societies. 
The first list was drawn up to Mr. Carleton Rea, B.C.L., M.A.,
