 NEIGHBOURHOOD OF EXETER. 



BT MR. EDWARD PARFITT. 



(Continued from page 81.^ 



Agarieus odorus. Not common; one or two in Messrs. Veitches' Nursery. 

 Sept. 29tli, 1852. 



A. dealhatus. In pastures round Exeter ; rather common. 



A. cedematopus. Coaver; rare. Nov. 1851. 



A. virgineus. Meadows at Alphington and Exeter. Nov. 1851. A variety 

 also occurs, with the pileus umbonate in all stages of growth, smooth and 

 sated, as in the true species ; the margin at first entire, at length splitting in 

 several places, somewhat in the way of A. rimosus ; otherwise it does not 

 differ from the normal form. 



A. ceraceus. Three or four specimens of this occurred on the lawn at 

 Parkers-well House, Oct. 24th, 1852. I have not met with any since. 



A. puniceus. Three specimens of this most beautiful Agaric I found in the 

 long grass left for hay on the lawn at Coaver House, on the 12th of June, 

 1852. I have not had the pleasure of seeing any since, so that I must 

 consider it a rare species. 



A. cocoineus. Rather common in a field at Matford. Sept. 1852. 



A. miniatus. This is a rare species with us; perhaps for the want of more 

 boggy ground. I have only met with it but once ; and that on Haldon, in a 

 wet raised hUlock, in a bog, Sept. 1851. 



A. laccatus. Rather common in dampish places in meadows round Exeter. 

 Sept. 30th, 1852. 



A. sulphur eus. Not common. Three or four in Stoke Wood, April 28th, 

 1851. 



A. lascivus. A few of this species came up in one of the stoves at Messrs. 

 Veitches' Nursery, in some fibi'ous peat, April 4th, 1853. 



A. velutipes. Almost every old stump is furnished with tufts of this pretty, 

 though common species. 



A fusipes. Immense tufts of this are frequently to be met with, on and 

 about the stumps of old elms. I met with some veiy fine ones in Sir Stafford 

 Northcote's park, in July, 1853. 



A. hutyraceus. On the grass plot at Coaver House, May 10th, 1853; not 

 common. 



A. compressus. I have not met with more than one or two of this fine 

 Agaric; those were found in a pasture at Matford, Oct. 1851. 



A. peronatus. A few specimens in Stoke Wood, Sept. 1852. 



A . arcades. Particularly common in almost all the meadows and pastures 

 round Exeter.
