‘75 
which it would seem possible to comfound it is a form of Dicranum 
Julvum, Hook., which grows in precisely similar situations, is often 
of thesame blackish green color, and otherwise presents a some- 
what similar appearance; but that is always more robust, and has 
the leaves more crowded, usually nearly or quite twice as long, 
gradually tapering from a lanceolate more concave base, more 
crisped when dry, and less spreading when moist, margins never 
thickened nor recurved, and perfectly entire (always ?) towards the 
base, areolation above nearly similar but towards the base more 
enlarged and oval, at the basal angles more inflated—the inflated 
patch more distinctly defined, costa a little stouter and less dis- 
tinctly or not at all striate-lamellated, “‘ male flower terminal,” ete.

9. Agaricus (Armillaria) nardosmius, x. sy.—On the ground in 
oak and pine woods, September, October. Pileus 3’ or more across, * 
mottled brown—flesh firm, white, thick and compact in the disk but 
suddenly thinning out near the margin which on this account soon 
withers—cuticle thick, tough, separable—lamellae unequal, rather 
crowded, subventricose, attached, with a shallow sinus, about }’ 
broad—stem solid, of fibrous texture, white within—sheathed below 
by the dark brown velvet-like veil which terminates above in a 
narrow, spreading, jagged-edged ring, fibrose-squamulose above, 
about 3’ long and 4’ thick, not bulbous, Spores subglobose, 
00025’ in diameter. 
The surface of the pileus is smooth to the touch and soft but 
variegated with patches of appressed hairs, which appear as if dried 
down upon it after having been wet. The fresh plant has an 
aromatic smell like spikenard. First observed in 1873, and found 
each season since in the same locality. The upper surface of the 
ring has a pale lilac tint. : 
10. Agaricus (Clytocybe) auratocephalus x. sp.—Pileus obtuse- 
conic, expanding to convex, with a fleshy umbo, surface smooth but 
of fibrous texture, and at length more or less rimose-striate. About 
14 inches broad—lamellae broad (}’) ventricose, fleshy, subsinuate 
with a decurrent tooth, not crowded, becoming orange-red in dry- 
ing—stem usually compressed and crooked, attenuate at both ends, 
hollow, smooth, brittle, as is the whole plant, 3’-4’ long, }' thick. 
Spores about .0004’ long, short oblong, somewhat irregular in shape. 
Gregarious and subcespitose, in swampy ground, July. Whole 
plant golden yellow, when fresh has a strong peculiar smell, especially 
when drying. The lamellae become glaucous pulverulent.. : 
11. Agaricus (Entoloma) indigoferus, 7. sp.—Pileus 3’-4’ across, 
convex-plane, rivulose, indigo blue fading out at length more or 
less, flesh white, very thin towards the margin—lamellae hardly 
crowded, sinuate emarginate, white, becoming flesh color, at length 
becoming ventricose an‘! separating from the stem, which is solid, brit- 
tle, fibrillose, white, more or less tinged with blue, tomentose at base, 
2’-3’ long, }~-}’ thick. Spores dull flesh color very irregular, .0004’, 
Gregarious or subcespitose. Among moss in the swamp,
