ExPLAN.'iTiON OF FiG. 109. — A plant of Mor-chel'-l.\ con'-i-ca is 

 shown at I. natural size; /'. at the left, is a section showing the pits; at c 

 an ascus with asco^pores accompanied by one pa-raph'-y-sis. x 500; at d 

 a sporidiuni, x 7r)0, is figured. In IT a specimen, natural size, of Mor- 

 chel'-la hy'-bri-da is given; a section to show the free pileus and pits 

 is given at /'.■ at c a mature spore-bearing ascus with a pa-raph'-y-sis, x 

 -100; (/ is a single sporidium. x 800. Drawings by Fred J. Seaver. 



Vol-va'-ri-a. — A common species illustrated below. The name of this 

 genus will be evident at once, namely the vol'-va bearing fungus. The 

 plants belong to the rosy-shored Ag'arics. While the volva is present the 

 an'-nu-lus, or ring, is absent, and the latter character separates the species 

 from that of Am-a-ni'-ta. The stem is easily separable at its junction 

 with the pileus, the same being true of its near relatives, namely, Ain-a- 

 r.i'-la. A-viau-i-top'-sis. and Lep-i-o'-ta.
