*NoTE BY THE EDITOR. — Soon after Mr. Beardslee found the Davis Island plants a 

 photograph was sent me by Mrs. I. M. Jervey of Charleston, and later a collection of 

 dried plants of this species. The quick change to bright red was noted by Mrs. Jervey 

 for her plants also, and I find the spores nearly the same (7.4-8x11-13//'). I publish 

 herewith the photo by Mrs. Jervey, which shows a good veil. — W. C. C.
