Zygodesmus pallidofulvus n. sp.

 branches often short, suberect; spores globose, echinulate, .0004- 

 .0005 of an inch in diameter.

REMARKS AND OBSERVATIONS 

 Agaricus arvensis purpurascens Cke. , 

 Lawns. Fishers Island, Suffolk co. C. C. Hanmer. 



Alsine graminea lanceolata Fenzl. 

 Rocky places. Little Falls. July. J. V. Haberer. 

 Amanita russuloides Pk. 



Among fallen leaves in woods. Bolton Landing. July. This is 

 larger than the typical form, having the pileus 4-6 inches broad, 

 the stem 5-8 inches long and 5-12 lines thick. The annulus has a 

 thick floccose edge which is sometimes grooved. The volva is 

 definitely circumscissile, adnate to the bulb and furnished above 

 with a short obtuse free margin. A smaller specimen, entirely 

 white, was found at Wading River in August. The species is 

 apparently a rare one. It was founded on specimens collected in 

 Greenbush, and published in 1873, in New York State Museum 

 Report 25, page 72. Since then it had not been observed by me, 

 though extralimital specimens have occasionally been received 

 from correspondents. 



Asplenium ebeneum hortonae Dav. 



Crevices of rocks. Little Falls. September. Mrs M. S. De- 

 Coster. This is a rare variety. It has not yet been found fertile 

 so far as I know. 



Asplenium ebeneum incisum Howe 



Hartford, Washington co. October. S. H. Burnham. This 

 variety is included by Professor Eaton in Ferns of North America 

 in his description of the species, and most botanists have followed 

 him in this conception of the species. The difference between this 

 form of the fern and the much more common form with narrower 

 fronds and obscurely crenulate serrate pinnae is so strongly marked, 

 that to one accustomed to notice the very fine distinctions now 

 made by authors in describing plants, it seems more satisfactory
