enabled thereby to fix the genus as the margin was straight and from 
the first pressed to the stem, and not involute. A slight idea of its 
color may be had when I write that it reminded me of and I took it 
for Hygrophorus psittacinus Fr., because of its greenish color and 
shining appearance. But the plant is not a particle viscid, and its 
seemingly viscid character is wholly due to the fibrils of the pileus 
which appear as if glued to its surface resembling in this respect 
Inocybe agglutinata Pk. with which I have been familiar for ten years. 
The pileus is olive green with whitish streaks and the stem and gills 
are white. It isa pretty and very interesting species, and I am fortu- 
nate in having a good collection of specimens. September 7, 1911, I 
found a number of plants of a pink-spored Agaric that puzzled me. 
I thought it a species of Leptonia. But Dr. Peck pronounced it a 
new species and named it Clitopilus leptonia. See N. Y. State Mus. 
Bull. No. 167, p. 39. In Dr. Peck’s letter to me he writes: “In 
some of the specimens the lamellae are distinctly decurrent. "This 
species is allied to Clitopilus vilis Fr. and C. subvilis Pk., though 
resembling a Leptonia." found it again in 1912, but it did not 
appear in 1913. Nauwcorta sphagnophila Pk. is very common in one 
swamp, where it grows throughout the summer. "The mature plant 
is noted for its minutely appressed tomentose and sometimes floccu- 
lose squamulose pileus of a grayish ochraceous or rusty brown color. 
It is a small plant the pileus seldom exceeding 2.5 em. in breadth. 
During November, 1912, I found in thick pine woods a pretty 
Collybia which Dr. Peck called new and named C. truncata because of 
its truncate pileus. It looks not unlike an Entoloma in situ and the 
reddish spots on the gills as they mature heighten the illusion; it has 
a long, reddish, creeping stem. In the same month I found another 
new Collybia called by Dr. Peck C. subdecumbens. The stem was in 
many plants up to 16.5 em. long, straight above the oak leaves upon 
which the plants grew, but bent at a right angle where it penetrated 
the leaves, compressed in many plants and well covered with a white, 
hairy mycelium; many stems flatten out upon the leaves to which 
they are attached. The taste and odor remind one of a raw potato. 
The pileus is drab, the gills white, and the upper part of the stem 
satin white and shining. The entire plant presents with age a slightly 
scorched appearance. The last two species were found after severe 
frosts had visited Stow. For full descriptions see Mycologia for 
March, 1913, Vol. V, No. 2, p. 68.
