close, rounded behind, adnexed or decurrent with a tooth, pale 

 yellow or almost white, becoming brownish; stem short, firm, 

 solid or with a small cavity, white above, brownish and squamose 

 below the slight evanescent annulus, white within, the veil white, 

 at first concealing the young lamellae, soon breaking into frag- 

 ments and partly adhering to the margin of the pileus, partly to 

 the stem. 



Pileus 1-3 inches broad; stem about i inch long, 2-4 lines thick. 



Decaying sawdust. McLean, Tompkins co. July. The annu- 

 lus consists of a row of scales or fragments of the veil around the 

 upper part of the stem, the greater part of the veil usually adhering 

 to the margin of the pileus. The color of the spores prevents the 

 reference of the species to the genus Hypholoma. 



Salix serissima (Bail.) Fern. 

 North Elba and Lake Bonaparte. June. This willow has 

 recently been separated from Salix lucida to which it was 

 formerly joined as a variety. Its leaves are merely acute or short 

 pointed at the apex, paler on the lower surface, very finely glandu- 

 lar serrate, the petioles have 1-3 pairs of glands at the top and the 

 fertile aments are very late in ripening their capsules. 



Scirpus occidentalis (Wats.) Chase 

 Oneida lake, Thompson lake and Lake Bonaparte. This bul- 

 rush was formerly considered a variety of Scirpus lacustris, 

 but it has recently been published as a distinct species. It is dis- 

 tinguished from S. lacustris by its two cleft style, its smaller 

 lenticular achene and its pubescent scales.
