228 MEMOIRS OF THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN 



the slight gill salient is stronger as this is farther from the stem; fig. 31, farther from 

 the stem and four very slight gill salients are seen, the one at the right is the same one 

 as shown in fig. 30, but is lower since it is nearer the margin of the pileus and younger. 



Figs. 32-36. (No. 9.) Similar series of sections from a slightly older basidiocarp 

 in which the gill salients are better organized near the stem where they are older, suc- 

 cessively lower and younger toward the margin of the pileus where in figure 36 there is 

 but the slightest evidence of the palisade stage thrown into two salients, with the primor- 

 dial stage of the hymenophore shown on either side at the extreme margin of the pileus. 



Fig. 38. (No. 20.) "Tangential" section through pileus and hymenophore about 

 midway between stem and margin of pileus in a nearly mature basidiocarp. 



Fig. 37. (No. 17/2.) From one side of a nearly median longitudinal section of 

 another basidiocarp showing margin of the pileus and the blematogen to the right. 

 Below the margin of the pileus is the ground tissue forming the partial veil proper with 

 a section of the blematogen outside and concrete with it.
