CLASSIFICATION OF AGARI' 



43d Repprl assigned i1 to .1. nardosmia. I am Inclined to think 

 ,l, ( . N.u York species all belong to L. caligata. l bave collected 

 the same bu1 Bmaller plant in Ne* fork, and ii seems osuallj to 

 be smaller farther south and east. Whether anj microscopic cl 

 actors accompany the almond odor remains to be Been. A- In L. 

 aurantia, the parallel hyphae of the gill-trama are an exception 

 for this genus.
