A taxonomic list of the non-lichenised fungi recorded for Fair Isle is given. The total comprises 260 taxa: 251 verified species and 9 additional intraspecific variants. Several other entities remain provisional until fresh material is available. The list is annotated with summary details of abundance, distribution, habitat, phenology and, for notable species, their wider status within Britain. Four species are new citations for the British Isles. The list demonstrates the island’s regional, national, international and conservation importance, particularly for grassland taxa and montane fungi associated with dwarf willow (Salix herbacea).

SINCE the publication of my paper on the fauna of the Anthracolithic Limestone of Oomi-mura, Province of Echigo, Central Japan, I have added to my collection fresh material from this locality, collected either by myself or by others. Among this is an astraeiform coral to which I wish to draw attention since such corals are everywhere uncommon in the Carboniferous and, as far as Japan is concerned, is the first to be recorded. The specimen is only a small fragment, its polished transverse surface measuring not more than 2 cm. by 2 cm. Unfortunately the coral is in an unsatisfactory state of preservation so that its structural details are difficult to decipher. However, from a careful examination of the polished surface and of thin sections cut from the coral I am inclined to regard it as a species of Orionastraea Smith, a genus which hitherto has only been known to occur in the Carboniferous rocks of the British Isles.

AbstractCyrtograptus hamatus, first described from Ireland by Baily in 1862, is now described more fully from fresh material which can be assigned to the zone of C. lundgreni. The proximal part of C. lundgreni is also described. Three species of Retiolitids occur with the Cyrtograptids, one of which, Paraplectograptus eiseli Manck, has not previously been recorded in the British Isles.

Twenty nine items of correspondence from the mid-1950s discovered recently in the archives of the University Marine Biological Station Millport, and others made available by one of the illustrators and a referee, shed unique light on the publishing history of Collins pocket guide to the sea shore. This handbook, generally regarded as a classic of its genre, marked a huge step forwards in 1958; providing generations of students with an authoritative, concise, affordable, well illustrated text with which to identify common organisms found between the tidemarks from around the coasts of the British Isles. The crucial role played by a select band of illustrators in making this publication the success it eventually became, is highlighted herein. The difficulties of accomplishing this production within commercial strictures, and generally as a sideline to the main employment of the participants, are revealed. Such stresses were not helped by changing demands on the illustrators made by the authors and by the publishers.
