63 contents in the cells and no secondary branching. Note V (No. 49). In the common species of Varicosporium elodeae the degree of branching varies considerably. Note VI (No. 40). This beautiful spore type, pearly because of the abundant glycogen in its cells, is very common. It has 4-5 a r m s . So far it is known only as a spore. It may possibly belong to the genus Tetranacriurn.
Note VII (No. 51). pycnidial fungus.

DAY FORAYS,
1967
Several new places are to be visited this season: Hydons Heath near Godalming (24th September), Ashdown Forest near Forest Row (1st October), Tunbridge Wells Common (15th October) and Whichford Wood near Long Compton, Warks. (8th October). Wimbledon Common will be re-visited after a gap of many years (17th October). St. Leonard's Forest near Horsham (14th October), Hertford Heath (22nd October) and Wrest Park (29th October) have all been visited in recent years and should provide good collecting particularly if weather conditions are favourable. Finally the traditional foray in Windsor Park will be held on 21st October and we shall have the opportunity of visiting the new Botany Department at Royal Holloway College. A large number of forays have been arranged by local natural history societies and particulars of many of these are given in the Day Foray circular. Details of some others are given below.

SLIDE COLLECTION The slide collection is in nearly continuous use except for a few weeks during the summer, so when you want to borrow slides for a lecture it is essential to give as long notice as possible. A list of the slides now available can be obtained from the Foray Secretary. The borrowing fee is still 7s. 6d., but it is no longer possible to send out the whole collection because it is now so big and the postage very expensive. Please specify the actual slides you need or indicate the sort required. Good transparencies (preferably originals) of a large number of common species are still wanted for the collection. We are very grateful for gifts of slides but are also willing to buy transparencies if the s election committee consider s them suitable for inclusion i.n either the General or Special Coqections. We are also glad to borrow slides so that we can have duplicates made from them. M.H. FOREST PATHOLOGY GROUP MEETING, APRIL 13 & 14 1967 Members of the group gathered in Thetford, Norfolk on April 12th for a field meeting arranged by the staff of the Forest Research Station, Alice Holt. On April 13th research areas in Thetford and Swaffham Fore sts were visited to see work being done on Fornes annosus, and on the effects of low temperatures on the establishment of conifers (particularly Corsican Pine) in the second rotation. At a business meeting held in the evening members exchanged information on current research projects, and decided to hold the next meeting in North-Fast Scotland in April 1968. On April 14th Thetford Forest was again visited to see Peridermium pini on Scots pine and Brunchorstia pini (Scleroderris lagerbergii) on Corsican pine, and to see an experiment on the control of blue stain in pine. Further information on the aims and activities of the Working Group may be obtained from Dr. D. H. Phillips, of the Forest Research Station, Alice Holt Lodge, Wrecclesham, Farnham, Surrey.
