mination of the genus is possible in these cases; for this, so far as 

 the species A (Nos. 1293 and 1294) is concerned, the too little devel- 

 oped condition stands in the way, and the material of the second 

 species, B, (Nos. 70 and 454) was already damaged by larvae and 

 frost on collecting. Lastly, the third species, C, (Nos. 382 and 383) 

 belongs to such a difficult generic group, that a determination from 

 the available, very sparse material would be quite indefensible. — 

 For the sake of completeness the fungi in question are noted — 

 with the collector's and a few other additions — as an appendix to 

 the above-given list. 



A. No. 1293: Maroussia 20 — 7 — 0(S; Dr. Lindhard found these fungi in an eskimo 

 ruin, the kitchen-corner, deep under the surface. No. 1294: Like the foregoing, only 

 seen liere. 



The specimens found are quite small, the largest 1 cm. high 

 with pileus just formed. Brownish. Grows on a swampy soil, chiefly 

 of moss. 



B. No. 70: Fungi in wet moss under Tliermometerfjæld. No. 454: Basiskæret, 

 25—8—07, taken in the frozen condition, later thawed and put in alcohol. 



The spores are rough, hyaline; the flesh is almost entirely eaten 

 away by larvae. Russula? 



С No. 382: Tliermometerfjæld, 17 — 8—07, damp grass. No. 383 : the same, lot 

 of rain on preceding days. 



These specimens have characteristic, edged spores; but as no- 

 thing is noted regarding the colour of the spores, a certain deter- 

 mination of the genus cannot be made. If the spores were red, the 

 fungus has to be referred to Entoloma (or Leptonia); if they were 

 brown, on the other hand, the species will belong to Inocybe. — 

 There is absolutely no resemblance between the material of small, 

 dark fungi preserved in alcohol and the coloured drawing of No. 

 382, which shows a very large, fine, grej^-lilac, silky fungus and 

 seems to have indications of brown spores. — Inocybe?
