On the ground. Peradeniya, Oct. Dec. 1868. 



Pileus I inch across, conical, then depressed, white, epidermis dark 

 brown, broken up into minute fibrillose scales ; stem 1 inch high, 

 1 line thick, clavate, smooth, white, becoming rufous towards the 

 base, stuffed, ring erect, edge brown ; gills I line wide, distant, 

 white, ventricose, approximate. Spores '00025' long. 



Undoubtedly closely allied to A, erytTirogrammns ; but the gills 

 are far more distant ; no. 886* is a small form resembling A.rhy- 

 paropliorusy and decidedly umhonate. 



38. A. (Lepiota) micropholis, B. 4' Br. Pileo conico albo squa- 

 mulis minimis cinereis ornato striato; stipite flexuoso albo subaequali, 

 annulo erecto; lamellis candidis ventricosis confertis approximatis, 



(no. 906 cum icone). 

 On the ground. Jan. 1869. 

 Pileus not f inch across, conical, white, covered in the centre with very 



minute cinereous scales, margin striate; stem 1 inch high, about 



J line thick, nearly equal, white; ring erect; gills ^ line wide, 



crowded, slightly ventricose. Spores '0002' long. 



No. 779 is a dull white or reddish-grey form, with the stem 

 very pale ferruginous ; nos. 908, 909 appear to give two varieties 

 of the same species. 



39. A. (Lepiota) earochrous, B. SfBr. Pileo convexo roseo pul- 

 verulento-granuloso ; stipite gracili deorsum rufescente, annulo erecto ; 

 lamellis pallida carneis postice rotundatis approximatis (no. 893

 minutely granulated; stem 1 inch high, ^ line thick, stuffed, white, 

 changing below to rufous, red within, nearly equal; ring erect, 

 edge coloured; gills ventricose, rounded behind, pink. Spores oh- 

 long, -00025' long. 



A very pretty little species, resembling, when fresh, some forms 

 of ^. granulatus, becoming very dark in drying. 



^0. A. (Lepiota) anthomyces, B. Hf Br. Pileo convexo candido 

 membranaceo pulverulento usque ad discum striato; stipite gracili 

 candido hie illic rubro-maculato e strato pulverulento oriundo, an-
