* 



fiab. in Nitellce Hookeri cellulis et in Fontinalis foliis, in filis singulis 

 sparsis cum aliis algis (Tolypothrix, Leptothriw) intermixes, rarius in 

 caespitulis parvulis. 



-B. tumidum, in Chora vulgari crescens (Reinsch, Contribu- 

 tiones, p. 69, tab. xliv. Rhodoph. fig. 1-5), a JBatrachospermis 

 hucusque cognitis proxima species, sed valde diversa, dimensioni- 

 bus omnium partium multo majoribus (3-4 lineas longa), verticil- 

 lorum ramulis numerosis repetito dichotome ramosis ; in ramu- 

 lorum cellularum forma aliqua similitudine consentit. 



Report on the Fungi collected in Kerguelen Island by the Rev. 

 A. E., Eaton during the stay of the Transit-xrf- Venus Expedi- 

 tion of 1874-5. Bv the Rev. M. J. Berkley, M. A., F.L.S. 



[Eead May 4, 1876]. 



Until a few days before Midsummer no Fungi were seen in the 

 vicinage of the chief Observatory of the English. The first 

 species obtained was the common mushroom, one specimen of 

 which was found on an island in Royal Sound by some officers 

 from the ■ Volage.' Towards the end of summer the other four 

 species appeared in a few places upon the mainland. They were 

 not by any means common. 



Agaricus (Galera) kerguelenensis, Berkeley, Journ. of Bot. 

 18/6. 



Caespitosus, fulvus; pileo e breviter campanulato convexo, laevi, 

 carnuloso; margine teinii striato; stipite aequali, apice pulverulento- 

 granulato ; lamellis distantibus, ventricosis, adnatis. 



Habitat. Amongst moss in a bog near Vulcan Cove. January 1875. 



Caespitose, attached by abundant mycelium. Pileus | inch across ; stem 

 nearly ] inch high, £ to f line thick ; principal gills about 12 in 

 number, shortly but truly adnate, and not in the least degree decurrent. 



It is far more fleshy than any variety of A. hypnorum, to which 

 species it no doubt is closely allied ; and while agreeing with A. 

 embolus in the possession of comparatively few gills, it differs 

 from this in the mode of their attachment.

Agaricus (Naucoria) furfuraceus, P. 



Habitat. In the some bog as the preceding, at the same time. 



Agaricus (Psalliota) campestris, L. 



Habitat On an island (Mussel Island) in Royal Sound, near Observa-f
