When 



Australia. Eden, Twofold Bay, N.S.W.; on 

 Gheel, No. 7. 



A very minute species growing in dense troops, 

 pileus contracts into a ball, and resembles a minute PezCza or 

 Cypliella in appearance. Allied to Pteuro&m canus, Quelet, which 

 differs in the lobed margin, larger spores, and in growing on the 

 ground. 



Panus Bartlettii, Massee. 



Pileus carnoso-lentus, tenuis, orbicularis seu reniformis, margin** 



ex involuto expanso, ochraceo-fulvus, dense squamoso-fibrillosus, 



3-5 cm. diam. Lamellae subconfertae, adnexae seu variants 



emarginatae, pileo concolores, acie albida. Stipes lateralis, brevis, 



circa 1 cm. longus, concolor. Sjtorae hyalinae, ellipsoideae, 

 7 x 5/x. 



West Indies. River Aruka, British Guiana, Bartlett, No. 8603 . 



A very fine and well marked species, interesting on account of 

 its extending the Pleuropod section of the genus to the American 

 tropics. Most nearly allied to P. stypticus^ Fries. 



Nolanea nana, Massee. 



Pileus carnosulus,conico-campanulatus dein expanso-umbonatus, 

 hygrophanus, laete roseo-carneus mox ambit u ochraceo-suffusus, 

 siccus, 3-5 mm. latus. Lamellae confertae, ventricosae, postice 

 attenuato-adnexae, e candido roseo-carneae. Sporae subglobosae, 

 nodulosae, carneae, 4-6 /* diam. Stipes fistulosus, fibrilloso- 

 striatus, deorsum leviter attenuatus, pileo concolor, circa 1 cm. 

 longus, supra 2 mm. crassus. 



Bengal. Ballygunge, Calcutta ; growing on walls, Bur/, ill, 

 No. 2, cum icon. 



Allied to Nolanea elaphines, Berk. & Broome, from Ceylon, 

 differing in its smaller size, bright colour and smaller, coarsely 

 warted spores. An interesting addition to the Fungus Flora of 

 India, as hitherto very few of the Rhodosporeae or pink-spored 

 section of Agarics have been recorded from that country. 



Psalliota Burkillii, Massee. 



Pileus carnosulus, convexus dein expansus, subgibbosus, sericeo- 

 fibrillostis, aureo-fulvellus squamis floccosis miniatis obtectus, 

 margine primitus involutus, velo lacero appendiculis dentiformi- 

 bus cinctus, 3-4 cm. latus. Lamellae postice liberae, confertae, 

 e roseis nigrescentes, acie integra. Sporae ellipsoideae basi 

 oblique apiculatae, brunneae, 35 x 2 /* Stipes solidus, 2-2'5 cm. 

 longus, subaequalis, pileo concolor, infra annulum floccis squa- 

 mosis evanescentibus tectus. Annulus amplus superus, infra 

 squamulis praeditus. 



Bexgal. Calcutta ; on the ground under a wall in one of the 

 streets, Burkill, No. 5, cum icon. 



A beautiful and at the same time very marked species. Distin- 

 guished at once from every known Psalliota by its golden-tawny 

 colour, squamulose ring and the very minute spores with a 

 pronounced oblique basal apiculus.
