1. Agaricus (Lepiota) missionis, B. Pileo campanulato 

 fortiter papillato-umbonato, demum expanso, sericeo, squamu- 

 loso, cito glabrescente ; margine striato ; stipite sequali, basi 

 incrassato subglabro ; annulo amplo remoto ; lamellis ventri- 

 cosis postice rotundatis, liberis ; carne secta rubra (no. 10). 



Nov. 7. Eaten by the natives (" Uoga ") ; good to eat. 



Pileus when campanulate about 2 inches across, when ex- 

 panded 4 inches, white with a slight yellowish tinge; stem 

 3 inches high, \ thick, stained with red here and there, as 

 well as when divided ; gills £ inch wide. Approaching some 

 allied exotic Lepiotce, but distinct from any of the Ceylon 

 species. Spores white, rather large; some specimens in 

 drying become dark brown. 



2. A. (Lepiota) rhodocepkalus, B. Pileo rosello sericeo, mi- 

 nute tessulato, centro depresso lgetiore, margine striato ; stipite 

 candido basi incrassato, anguste farcto ; lamellis albis antice 

 latis, postice attenuatis subremotis ; annulo remoto (no. 7) . 



In tilled land, growing singly, but in great abundance. 

 Eaten by the natives. Nov. 6. 



Pileus depressed, of a beautiful rosy-cream colour, which 

 is much deeper in the centre ; the cuticle minutely tessulated, 

 3 inches across ; margin striate ; stem 2 inches high, about 

 | inch thick, incrassated at the base, ring deciduous, firm, 

 with a narrow cavity ; gills f inch broad in front, attenuated 

 behind, and subremote. A very pretty species, with much 

 the appearance of the rose-coloured form of A. lividus as 

 figured by Cooke, tab. 469. 



3. A. (Clitocybe) vagus, B. Candidus ; pileo expanso 

 undulato lobato flexuoso, centro furfuraceo-squamuloso, gla- 

 bescente ; margine tenui ; stipite basi ramoso brevi solido ; 

 lamellis longe decurrentibus angustis (no. 13). 



Nov. 17. On sandy soil. 



Pileus 5 inches across, much undulated, with a flexuous 

 margin, flesh thin; stem \\ inch high, | thick, solid, spa- 

 ringly branched towards the base ; gills linear, very decurrent, 

 scarcely more than a line in breadth, but broader on one side 

 of the pileus than the other. 



A species evidently belonging to Fries's section Difformes. 

 It does not accord with any of his species. 



4. Hiatula Benzoini, Fr. Hym. Eur. p. 136 ; Ic. tab. 79.
