figured this plant extremely well, and calls it an Helvella; but 
out of the numerous figures in the 157th plate, Mr. Bolton re- 
fers only to fig. 2, though. Scheffer makes no distinction.

Batsch refers to Scheffer’s plate, without restriction, as his. 
Agaricus aurora, which he himself has figured, though. indif- 
ferently, pl. 9. f.36. Bulliard calls it Helvella tubeformis, and 
makes also an unlimited reference to Scheffer 157. ‘The plants 
represented by M. Bulliard are much larger than those of Mr. 
Bolton, and the gill-like veins much more distinctly marked. 
I believe this species is neither an, Agaric, an Helvella, nor a 
Peziza, bur more properly belonging to the Genus Merulius,.
