Abstract
BY the sudden death of Dr. M. C. Rayner, on December 17, British mycology has sustained a serious loss. Up to the last moment she had been pursume her researches into the mycorrhizal habit in plants, and, in fact, died only a few hours after visting her experimental plots at Wareham Heath in Dorset. Relatively early in her career, Dr. Rayner had established herself as unquestionably the leading British authority on the subject of mycotrophy in plants—a position which she afterwards consolidated both by the volume of her own research, and by the breadth of her interests in her chosen field of work.
