The incomplete description and error in spore size, and the 

 extension of its habitat seem sufficient reasons for a full re- 

 vised description. As Dr. Peck has remarked, the plants at 

 first appear to fit well to the description so far accessible of 

 the seaside Psalliota maritivius Pk., but a more detailed study 

 of the latter in the developing state would doubtless bring out 

 definite discrepancies. It differs from P. silvatica Fr. in its 

 solid stem, slightly smaller spores and the narrow annulus.
