CX PROCEEDINGS—PERTHSHIRE SOCIETY OF NATURAL SCIENCE. 
the botanical section, and there was a good attendance of members. 
Work was begun at the entrance gate of the hill, and continued along 
the western side, and although the season was somewhat advanced, 
and the soil rather dry, fungi were fairly abundant. The services of 
Dr. Paul were much in request in identifying the more difficult species. 
After finishing the western side, the party ascended the hill and then 
turned downwards under the beech trees near the Kinfauns boundary. 
Here the finds were even more numerous, Dr. Paul identifying a 
large group of Agaricus saponaceus , Fr., which was particularly con¬ 
spicuous. Further along, under a silver fir tree, Cantharellus 
infundibuliformis , Fr., was detected by Dr. Paul growing amongst 
Cantharellus tubaeformis , Fr. These two species resemble each 
other very closely, and the first named had hitherto escaped notice. 
A start was now made on the Kinfauns side, search being made 
for Lentinus cochleatus , Fr., which is known to grow here. This fungus 
is remarkable for the powerful odour of anise which it exhales. It 
could not, however, be found at this time. Kinfauns proving very 
barren, the party walked on to the Deuchney Wood. Here some fine 
specimens of Cortinarius triumphans, Fr., were found. This is rather 
a handsome and not very common species. At this point rain began 
to fall heavily, and further search had to be abandoned. The result 
of the day’s work was the finding of 84 species of fungi, representing 
four orders. A hearty vote of thanks to Dr. Paul for his kind services 
to the party brought this very successful excursion to a close.
