45. Great, round, pulverulent Mujhrome, ivithjlellar rays, mid aj/jorf, 

 thick pedicle (g). On Chapel-hill, at Belford, in the latter end of 

 autumn. On Broadpool-common, between Con-foeds and Elake- 

 law, near Simonburn, in September, after rains, frequent. The 

 pedicle is about an inch and a half or two inches long. The 

 head is very large, round, and fnow-white, with many ftars of 

 a moderate fize, very handfome. I met with a confiderable num- 

 ber of them on that hill in September. 



46. LeJ]er,petiolated, round, pulverulent MuJJjrome, -with large fijjile rays, 

 andaftellatc ofculum (h). On the banks of the rivulet ofBramiflj, near 

 Ingram. The pedicle is about an inch long. The head is round, 

 of the fize of a fmall pipin ; the ftars large, Mile, as if imprefTed 

 with a tool, very beautiful. I met with great numbers of them 

 on the banks of that rivulet in the middle of September. 



47. I obferved, at the fame place, a beautiful VARIETY, of a 

 comprefled form, with broad and elegant undulations between 

 the ftars, refembling the marine Brain-Stone (i).
