elongated cylindrical acute or truncate ; stem 1 inch hi^h, equal, 

 stuffed; gills not a line wide ; spores angular. 



Differs obviously from A. microcarpus in tlie angular spores.

 umbonato ; stipite brevi sequali e farcto cavo ; lamellis planis postice

On the ground. Peradeniya, Dec. 1868. 



Pileus I inch across, convex, umbonate, smooth; stem f inch high, 



1 line thick; gills plane, arcuate, sinuated behind, 1 line broad; 



spores angular. 



The whole plant becomes umber in drying. 



193. A. (Entoloma) argilophyllus, B, 4' Br. Pileo convexo 

 cinei-eo pruinoso ; stipite curve particulis fuscis insperso ; lamellis 

 tenuibus latissimis (no. 873), 



Pileus 1 inch high, dark grey, pulverulent; stem 1 inch high, 1 line 

 thick, curved, beset with little dark particles; gills 2 lines wide, 

 thin, pallid, argillaceous ; cystidia large. 



There may possibly be some doubt as to the proper position of 

 tills species, as we have not seen the spores,
