A New Entoloma from Central Okio. — Under this title George F. 

 Atkinson describes a mushroom in The Joltrnal cf Mycology for Novem- 

 ber, 1906. Our Figures 2.51 and 252 were made from the photogrnphs 

 of the plants. We reproduce also Professor Atkinson's entire article, 

 which is as follovv'S : 



"Specimens, notes and photograph of a furgL'.s that proves to be new 

 were received from Prof. W. A. Kellerman. The following diagnos'.s 

 is given :
