appears in the last edition of the "Epicrisis" under a separate 

 sub-genus — Pluteolus. 



Ag. (Galera) embolus of Berkeley's Outlines is Ag. (Tubaria) 

 embolus of Fries. 



Ag. (Hypholoma) hydrophilus is Bolbitius hydrophilus 

 of Fries. 



Cortinarius caperatus of B. and Br. appears as Ag. (Pholiota) 

 caperatus in the " Epicrisis." 



; Polyporus cervinus of Berkeley's Outlines is Trametes 

 mollis of Fries. 



The following also are worthy of note : — 



In his Hand-book Cooke identifies Gomphidius stillatus of 

 Strauss, with Gomphidius graciHs of Berkeley's Outlines, having 

 G. gracilis as a mere synonym. In the ''Epicrisis" Fries identi- 

 fies G. stillatus with G. maculatus, while he retains Berkeley's 

 G. gracilis as a separate species. 



Hyphelia rosea, which was lately found by Mr. Fergusson, 

 and recorded by Berkeley and Broome, has been regarded as 

 new to Britain. Fries identifies it with Corticium roseum, 

 which was previously well known as a British plant. 



In regard to the two following species I simply raise 

 questions : — 



Ag. (Clitocybe) gilvus of Persoon appears to me from the 

 references to have been gathered by Greville. It is recorded 

 in his "Flora Edinensis," and should have been recorded in 

 Cooke's Hand-book. 



Ag. (Collybia) clavus of the English Flora is Ag. (Mycena) 

 acicula. But from the references it seems to me that 

 Greville's Ag. clavus, recorded in his " Flora Edinensis," and 

 cited in the English Flora, is the same as Ag. clavus of the 

 last edition of the " Epicrisis " of Fries.
