Agaricus (Leprora) Fuscosquameus Peck,.* 
Pileus hemispherical or convex, rough, with numerous erect

floccose, brown ; spores .0003 x .00014 of an inch. 
Plant 2-3 inches high, pileus 1.5-2 inches broad, stem 3 lines 
thick.

aes in his Epicrisis, unites this species with Ag. clypeolarius, 
and indeed in our specimens there is no external mark whereby the 
one may be separated from the other except the darker color of 
the scales in Ag. felinus. But this difference is so strongly sup- 
ported by the much smaller spores (.00028 x .00016 in.) that I am 
constrained to follow Persoon in considering this plant distinct 
from Ay. clypeolarius. ° Ag. fuscosguameus may be separated from 
it by its stouter habit, bulbous stem and more narrow spores. 
Agaricus (Leprora) osiitus Peck. 
Pileus fleshy, convex or expanded, subumbonate, smooth or 
obscurely squamose from the breaking up of the veil, viscid, alu- 
taceous, inclining to tawny, the umbo generally darker; lamellee 
crowded, free, whitish or yellowish, some of them forked ; stem 
equal or slightly tapering upward, smooth at the top, floccose, 
viscid, hollow or containing a cottony pith; annulus obsolete; 
spores .00016 x .00012 in. 
Plant 2’-3' high, pileus 2'—3’ broad, stem 3” thick. 
Ground in frondose woods. Lowville, Lewis county. September. 
Agaricus (ARMILLARIA) PONDEROSUS Peck.

or yellowish, the naked margin strongly involute beneath the 
slightly viscid persistent veil; lamelle crowded, narrow, slightly 
emarginate, white inclining to cream color; stem stout subequal, 
firm, solid, coated by the veil, colored like the pileus, white and 
furfuraceous above the annulus; flesh white; spores nearly globose, 
.00016 in. in diameter.
