vensis, but I am unwilling to propose new species in so 
variable a section on insufficient grounds, and prefer indicat- 
ing the affinities.

Of this there is but a single specimen, which though in bad 
condition, appears certainly referable to A. cretaceus.

Bull. tab. 198. ` Zeyher, n. 113. 
Uitenhage.. On the ground. January. 
The specimens appear certainly referable to this species. 
They resemble very closely the figure of Bulliard, and accord 
with the characters. I think it (Eus however, to add a de- 
scription drawn up from the South African plant. 
Pileus 1 inch broad, campanulate, very delicate, sulcate, 
grey with a red brown tinge in the centre, which is very thin, 
but not umbilicate or depressed, smooth, with a few minute 
white furfuraceous scales. Stem 14 inch high, quite smooth, 
except at the base, extremely delicate and slender. Gills 
distant, very slightly ventricose, free behind, or slightly ad- 
nexed, not forming a distinct space round the top of the 
stem. Spores much longer than in 4g. plicatilis, without 
any distinct apical point. 
"Two other Agarics occur in the collection which appear 
to be Ag. piperitus, n. 100, and Ag. melleus, n. 96, but they 
are in too bad a state to speak with any certainty.

Pileus 1 inch or more broad, umbilicato-infundibuliform, 
bay-brown, sometimes mottled as if squamose, sometimes 
zoned, sprinkled with scattered fascicles of straight, short, 
rigid bristles. Stem $ of an inch high, scarcely two lines 
thick, equal, except at the base, where it is slightly thickened, 
bay-brown like the pileus, clothed with short somewhat fasci- 
culate bristles; white within, at first solid, at length some-
