NOTES. 



1 As Drummondii (synonyn). 



2 The account of Bovista tomentosa on page i is and on Plate 4 is an error, the plant being a 

 scurfy form of Bovista plumbea Likewise the name Bovista brunnea, used in Aus. 24 cfr. p. 392). 



3 As Bovista. 



4 As Morganii (synonym). 



5 As fornicatus (error). 



6 As delicatus (synonyn). 



7 As fenestratus (synonym . 



8 As tenuipes (synonym . 



9 As lageniformis (synonym 

 tus and lageniformis. 



Perhaps a slight difference might be made between sacca- 



As Drummondii (error). 



11 As radicans synonym). 



12 Delilei type form). 



13 I should class Hypoblema now as a subgenus under Calvatia. 



14 As Bovista lateritia, an error. The plate No. 4 is also so named by error. 



15 I think now that the genus Lasiosphaera is better classed as a subgenus under Calvatia. 



16 This plant was published as Lycoperdon serotinum on the supposed authority of 

 Bonorden. It has since developed it is not Bonorden's plant, cfr. Myc Notes, p 291.) As Kost- 

 kovitts gave a good figure of the plant under the name Lycoperdon areolatum, I see no reason 

 why this name should not be adopted. At the best, however, it is only a form of Lycoperdon 

 piriforme. 



17 Lycoperdon glabellum, which I have referred as a synonym of Lycoperdon umhrinum, 

 I have since collected fresh at Albany, N. Y., and I consider ft now a very distinct species. 



I doubt very much the validity of Lycoperdon lephrum icfr. Myc. Notes p. 249 . 



fresh at Albany, N. 

 t very much the validity 

 19 As Ravenelii, var. minor. 



20 I would IIDW restrict the genus Mycenastrnm to the original species, Mycenasirum 

 Corium on its fecullat capillitium character. All other species so classed I would consider as 

 a subgenus of Calvatia. 



21 Asspinulosum synonym . 



22 With cleavage of peridium. 



23 As verrucosum, of which it can well be held to be a variety. 



24 As melanocephalum 'misprint'. 



25 As rubigenum (error). 



26 Since Tylostoma similans was published, additional selections have convinced me it is. 

 not practicable to keep it distinct even as a variety. 



27 As Anthurus. From examinations of dried specimens, I have heretofore thought that 

 Lysurus borealis would prove the same as Gardner! of Ceylon. Recent observation of the fresh 

 plant Ceylon; has shown it quite different. 



28 This " red " Lysurus also, I think, is probably a form of the above. 



29 This plant was published as Phallus merulinus, but merulinus having since been as- 

 certained to be another species, it must take the name proposed for it by Professor McGinty, in 

 keeping with the rules. The name Rochesterensis commemorates a little village in New York. 

 State where these celebrated rules, so dear to Professor McGintv, were promulgated. 



30 As rubescens (synonym).
