INTRODUCTION. xi 



Fig. D. 



Shews the curtain lacerated, or torn in fragments, part remaining upon 

 the ftem, and part on the rim or margin of the pileus : — examples of 

 which we have in the Agaricus pompatus* ', vi/kfus, cajlaneus, &c. 



Fig. E. 



Reprefents the curtain feparating from the pileus all round its margin, 

 without being torn, as in the Agaricus mufcarius-f, verrucosus, &c. 



Fig. F. 



Shews the gills, Jig. 4, branched, or divided and fubdivided ; the 

 fhorter being united at their bafe into the longer : as in the Agaricus 

 chant erellus, infundibuliformis^, &c. 



Fig. G, 



Shews the gills arranged in three feries, of unequal length; the firft 

 feries extended from the top of the ftem to the rim of the pileus ; the 

 fecond feries extended but two thirds of the way, and the third feries ex- 

 tends but one third of the way from the rim towards the centre : and this 

 arrangement of the gills is the mod common. It is however fubjedr. to 

 irregularity ; the fame feries fometimes varying in length, in refpect to 

 one another; fometimes the alternate order of their difpofition is not re- 

 gular; and the fecond and third feries are fometimes deficient in their 

 number. 



Fig. H. 



Shews the gills arranged in two feries, as in the Agaricus mufcarius\ t 

 and Agaricus politus ; — but of this arrangement we have but few examples 

 in the English Agarics.
