526 Murrill: The Boleti of the Frost herbarium 



Murrai 



Represented by three sheets, containing five good plants and 

 one poor one, all of which Frost refers to " B. pictus Peck by first 

 publication." The following footnote under B. pictus in his Cata- 

 logue of Boleti explains the change of name : 



" This species was discovered several years since by the late 

 Mr. Dennis Murray, of Roxbury, Mass., and named Boletus 

 Murraii, B. & C. (C. J. Sprague's MSS.). Under this name I have 

 distributed it. Recently it has been published in the " Grevillea,"

priority. 



Boletus paludosus Frost. 



Seven good plants and two small poor ones, all collected in 

 marshy woods, represent this species. Both the specimens and 

 the description point to B. chrys enter on, from which it can hard y 



be distinct. 



Boletus rubripes Frost. 



Two sheets containing four fair to poor specimens collected in 

 pine woods are to be found in the collection. The poor speci- 

 mens and brief description hardly warrant a guess as to its identity, 

 although there is a resemblance to B. Peckii in some of the speci- 



mens. 



Boletus subchromeus Frost. 



The sheet bearing this name contains seven excellent p 

 collected in moist woods late in autumn, accompanied by a 

 description. On another sheet this name was changed 

 Ravenelii B.C., already published for this species.
