THE MANX FUNGUS FLORA.

A preliminary contribution to the Manx Fungus Flora was published in September, 1909, in the 'Lancashire Naturalist.' This list contains 129 species, made up thus :-

The following comment was made at the time:-'As compared with Lancashire, the Uredineae were remarkably numerous, and no doubt the 20 species observed represent only a moiety of what might be disclosed by systematic search throughout the year. The most abundant was Phragwidium violacezzm, which occurred wherever brambles grew, in the greatest profusion, It was noted in Rubus Scheutzii, R. pulcherrimus, R. pyramidalis, R, rusticanus, R, echinatoides, and R. corylifolius.'

Since the publication of this list, a further 62 species were added during a week-end spent in the Island by the kind invitation of Mr. Hartley, who has also sent additions from time to time. The summary, therefore, now stands thus :-

At present it is scarcely advisable to attempt any comparison with the neighbouring portion of England (Lancashire chiefly), but investigations will be continued with this object in view.

*A number of these still in hand yet unnamed in addition,

The following is a list up to date of
