REPORTS OF MEETINGS.

Connaught Waters, and from here to Highbeach, by way of Bedfords 
Oak, Cuckoo Pits, Fairmead, and the High Wood, fair gatherings of 
specimens were made, so that the subsequent display of finds at the 
Headquarters at the Roserville Retreat was by no means bad, and, 
as has been remarked in previous years, a season of scarcity of individuals 
has often yielded relatively greater results as regards rare specimens. 
So it proved on the present occasion. Miss Wakefield and Mr. Pearson 
reported the following new records of hymenomycetes for the Forest:— 
Hygrophorus limacinus (Scop.), Fr. 
Hygrophorus obrusseus, Fr. 
Nolanea papillata, Bres. 
Hebeloma longicaudum , (Pers.), Fr. 
Flammula sapinea, Fr. 
Corticium subcoronatum, v. H. and L. 
Corticium arachnoideum, Berk. 
Hydnum coralloides, a rarity first met with two years ago, was again 
found in its former station at Fairmead, and Melanospora lagenaria, a pyre- 
nomvcete overgrowing a polyporus on a stump, was a noteworthy find. 
Tea was taken at 4.30 o'clock. At the following Meeting, six ladies 
and gentlemen were nominated for Membership of the Club ; after which, 
the President called upon Miss Wakefield and Mr. F. G. Gould, two of 
our Conductors, to report upon the day’s finds of agarics, while Mr. Ross 
reported upon the 21 species of myxomycetes which the Foray had yielded. 
Votes of thanks to the various Conductors were cordially given, and 
the party broke up and made its way, in the full moonlight, to Chingford 
and Loughton stations, happily freed from last year’s dread of impending 
enemy air-raids.
