*Agaricus (Amanita) ccesareus, Schseff. South Carolina, H. 

 W. Ravenel. 



51. A. (Amanita) Ravenelii, B. & C. Pileo convexo areolato- 

 vervucoso, verrucis pyramidatis; stipite brevi bulboso; volva 

 crassa verrucosa sublobata ; annulo deflexo. Amanita bulbosa, 

 Rav. In woods, June, Car. Inf., II. W. Ravenel. 



Pileus 4 inches across, convex, broken up into distinct areas, 

 each of which is raised into an acute rigid pyramidal wart ; stem 

 3 inches high, 1 inch or more in thickness at the base, furnished 

 with a thick warty volva and a deflexed ring. 



A very fine species, allied to A. strobiliformis, Vitt. 



52. A. (Lepiota) subremotus, B. & C. Pileo expanso 

 obtuse umbonato toto verrucoso-squamoso, margine sulcato ; 

 stipite fioccoso-farcto e bulbo sequaliter attenuato debili lsevi ; 

 annulo amplo secedente; lamellis subangustis remotiusculis. 

 Curt. no. 5067. On the ground amongst fir-leaves, New 

 England, C. J. Sprague. 



White. Pileus 4 inches across, expanded, obtusely umbonate, 

 fleshy, except at the margin, which is in consequence sulcate, 

 covered to the top of the umbo with raised wartlike scales ; 

 stem 5 inches high, clavato-bulbous at the base, attenuated up- 

 wards, i inch thick in the centre, smooth, stuffed with ftoccose 

 threads, rather delicate ; ring uneven, broad ; gills white, rather 

 narrow, free, but not separated far from the stem. 



This species is undoubtedly very near A. mastoideus; but the 

 stem is not sunk into the umbo, as in that species, and in con- 

 sequence the gills are not very remote. 



53. A. (Tricholoma) rhinarius, B. & C. Pileo convexo, ob- 

 tusissimo, centro subtiliter areolato-diffracto ; margine squamu- 

 loso ; stipite valido furfuraceo ; lamellis ex albo fiavis confertis 

 emarginatis. Curt. no. 5745. In dense patches amongst dry 

 leaves in woods, New England, C. J. Sprague. 



Pileus 5 inches across, convex, very obtuse, yellowish white 

 at the margin and minutely scaly, then ochraceous and yellow 

 brown in the centre, where it is broken up into little brown scale- 

 like areola? ; surface rimose ; margin at first involute, then 3-4 

 inches high, 1 inch or more thick, solid, yellowish, furfuraceous 

 from the curling up of minute portions of the cuticle ; gills at 

 first white, then yellow, crowded, adnate, emarginate, more or 

 less forked. 



Allied to A. scalpturatus. 



54. A. (Clitocybe) porphyrellus, B. & C. Pileo convexo glabro
