Wales and Scotland. Iluds. and Lightf. Mr. Gough of Kendal favoured 
me with a fine specimen about nine inches long, of a bright bay colour, 
in some places tending to blackness. He supposes this colour might be 
caused by its seclusion from the light, for it grew near Orton in West¬ 
moreland in the gallery of a copper mine, hanging from the roof and tim¬ 
bers at the distance of two or three hundred yards from the entrance. (He 
since informs me that he has obtained specimens from a mine near Kes¬ 
wick of the length of six feet three inches. On rocks at Harlow Hill; 
on Cheviot; at Shewing Shields, and near Rothbury, Northumberland; on
