IT A J AH Y A GALERICULATA (Figs. 21 and 22). But one 

 species of the genus is known, which is a native of Brazil, from whence 

 it was well described and illustrated by Moeller. It has since been 

 found there by Father Schupp. Robert E. Fries recently records the 

 plant as common in Argentina, and it is probably frequent and widely 

 distributed in South America." Our photographs and the sectional 

 figure of the pileus are all that are necessary to enable one to recog- 

 nize the plant.

THE GENUS MUTINUS. 



This genus is distinguished from Phallus, to which it was formerly 

 united by having no distinct pileus, the gleba being borne on tl 

 upper portion of a simple stem. Sometimes the gleba-beanng por 



Mr. Fries suggests, not without reason, that it may be the original rf 

 "new genus" Alboffiella, which if true is a prior name. In that case I "^T? 

 a rank injustice and a travesty on science to replace the excellent work done by 

 his name, by the inaccurate work of Spegazzmi ?
