The slender, erect form and pleasing color make this an attractive 

 looking fuugns. The specific name Avas suggested by the ijrevailing 

 rose-color of the pileiis and stem, this color being modified in places by 

 brownish tints. Only two specimens were found. 



In addition to the foregoing species Professor Peck named two new 

 species from the material sent to him for identification. 



Russula pulverulenta Pk. n. sp. having a grayish pileus and yellow 

 stem covered with a pulverulent, yellow scurf. Only one specimen 

 found in woods at Pleasant Lake, Julv 30. 



Hygrophorous paludosus Pk. u. sp. of a pale yellowish color, with a 

 glutinous coating on pileus and stem, the latter having glandular dots 

 at its apex. Growing in sphagnum, Greenville, Sept. 28, Barlow. 



Agaricus pusillus Pk. is another new species and was named from 

 material sent to Professor Peck by Dr. R. H. Stevens of Detroit, who 

 has found it growing in Belle Isle Park. A few specimens of the same 

 species were collected by the writer on the campus at the Agricultural 

 College during the past summer. They were at first thought to be A. 

 diminutivus Pk., although differing somewhat from the description of 

 that species. As its name implies, it is small. It also has a very distinct 

 and characteristic odor and taste of almonds.
