The colored drawing accompanying the type specimens shows a 

 stout, clavate-bulbous plant with a grayish-drab pileus. I>r. r 

 told me the pileus never hail any reddish hues and the original 

 description of a "pale ferruginous" pileus also is qo1 borne oul by 

 the appearance of the dried specimens. A plant, apparently inter- 

 mediate between this and the preceding occurs in Michigan 

 Cortinarius robustus Pk. belongs under this division hut like that 

 of the preceding two species, the description is insufficient.

••A Large species, intermediate between Dermocybe and Telamonia, 



related to the former by its dry pileus, to the latter by its general 

 aspect and stout, solid stem." It is placed here for want of n> 

 Sary additional data on its development. Specimens at the New 



York Botanical Garden have every appearance, of belonging to Tela- 

 monia.
