T. Johnson, D.Sc., for the great amount of trouble and labour that 
he had expended on behalf of the Society in selecting suitable places 
for the daily forays, personally conducting the members on their 
excursions, obtaining necessary permissions from landowners, arrang- 
ing terms with the different railway companies and car drivers; in 
fact, the great success of the Dublin Foray was in great measure to 
be attributed to his untiring exertions To the Royal College of 
Science, the Museum authorities, the Dublin Naturalists’ Field Club, 
and the owners of the different demesnes visited the best thanks of 
the Society were tendered for so kindly assisting them in every way. 
Saturday, the 24th of September, was the concluding day of the 
week’s foray, when the members visited the picturesque demesne of 
Dunran, by the kind invitation of Mr. Paterson, who subsequently 
most hospitably entertained them toluncheon. ‘The demesne proved 
to be an excellent collecting ground, and was the dampest one 
visited during the week. Boletus perphyrosporus Fr. was found in 
some abundance, and a solitary example of Hydnum cinereum Bull., 
new to the British Fungus Flora, was obtained. Over 430 distinct 
species of fungi were identified during the week’s foray, of which 
over 160 were additions to Mr. Greenwood Pim’s list, and the most 
interesting are enumerated in the subjoined list.
