112 Rev. M. J. BERKELEY on Agaricus crinitus, 
This species is well described in the ‘Synopsis Lentinorum,’ but no figure 
has hitherto been published. The pileus is far more densely clothed with 
fibres, the margin distinctly involute, the stem black, covered with a dull 
branny coat; the gills crowded and very distinctly glandular. This is L. vi/- 
losus, Klotzsch, in Sir W. J. Hookers herbarium, where he regards the two 
foregoing species as varieties. L. villosus, Fries, is quite a different species, and 
known generally under the name of L. Berterii. The species of Fries how- 
ever, so named, is quite different. What the original plant of Sprengel is 
upon which that species is founded, I have no means at present of ascer- 
taining.

Hab. Surinam. Communicated by M. Miquel (marked No. 17) to M. Léveillé, who kindly 
lent me the specimen. 
Pileus about 12 inch across, thin, rather rigid when dry, broadly infundibuliform, with the 
border arched, and the margin somewhat lobed, minutely denticulated, and not in the 
least inflected or involute, of a pale bay, fibrilloso-striate, and clothed with sparing fas- 
cicles of paler, slightly crisped, flat filaments, Stem about 1 inch high, 1 line thick, 
flexuous, nearly black, sparingly furfuraceous. Gills rather distant, forked, ochraceous ; 
edge rough with minute granular processes, sprinkled with glandular processes. 
This species approaches nearest to L. nigripes, but is smaller, the pileus less 
densely clothed, and the margin not in the least involute. M. Léveillé has 
lately given the characters of several new species, but none of them apparently 
closely allied to any of those just described. The species in the herbarium at 
the Jardin des Plantes which belong to this group are from Gaudichaud, col- 
lected from 1831 to 1833, and numbered from 38 to 41. M. Léveillé does not 
seem to have noticed them.
