_ This species is introduced on the authority of Mr. Hudson 
and Mr. Relhan. I cannot collect the exact description. of the 
gills from any of the authors who have mentioned it, but from 
the general structure of the plant it is probable that they are 
loose. Ray Sy. p. 2. 2. 2.

Mr. Stackhouse had repeatedly mentioned to me a large ¢s- 
culent Agaric found on the sea-coast in Cornwall, which is, I 
believe, a monstrous variety of this species. Its whole habit is 
very large, the button as big as a potatoe, the expanded pileus 
18 inches over, the stem as thick as a man’s wrist, the gills 
very pale; the curtain as tough and as thick as a piece of lea- 
ther, the juice yellowish; the flavour inferior to that of the 
Ag. campestris. And he has very lately informed me that it 
corresponds with the description of J. B. hist, iii. p. 824, cited 
by Linneus under Ag. eorgii. It was probably a plant of 
this kind, which was mentioned to me by a gentleman of un- 
doubted veracity, as having been gathered some years ago on 
an = hot-bed in a garden in Birmingham, and weighed 14 
pounds. 
On the sea coast or commons, Weymouth, Devonshire, and 
West of Cornwall. Mr, Srackrovuse.
