lished must be considerably emended. B. tomentosus has char- 

 acters showing it' to be intermediate between the "gyroporus" 

 group and the ''Roskovites" group. The flesh of the stem tends 

 to break down as in B. castaneus and the pileus is not truly vis- 

 cid. On the other hand, the tubes are almost free from the 

 stem and do not blacken on drying. The colors are not golden 

 as given by Peck for B. hirtellus; the flesh changes to sky-blue 

 and the spores are almost hj^aline. 



Boletus versipellis Fr. Under poplars. Common. Leal. 

 Tolland. It is surprising that this was not reported by Over- 

 holts. It has some similarity to B. scaber, and may have been 

 confused with it.
