I have referred this collection here with a • hesitation. The 



plants are well illustrated by the figures of Gillel and Eticken. The 

 illustrations of Fries are apparently from selected and perfi 

 plants such as are more common in the moist climate of Sweden 

 than in that of our State. The description given above applies 

 plants entirely dill'erent from any other Bpecies of the group by 



their peculiar colors, the brittle flesh and the habitat. It differs 

 most from the European descriptions in the absence of the radishy 

 odor. It seems to have some relationship with C. sciophyllus Pr., 

 but the spores of thai species, according to Battaile (Bull. d. 1. 

 Soc. Bfyc. de Prance, Vol. 26, p. 336), measure 8-9x6-8 micr.
