Pileus i-1 inch broad, delicate, translucent, quite smooth, 

 regularly reniforru, emarginate behind, and then attenuated into 

 a short stem, which is fixed by a little round disc. Gills rather 

 narrow, somewhat distant, subdecurrent, interstices even. 



This species is very near to A. limpidus, but the pileus is re- 

 gularly reniform, and the gills are not crowded. It is evidently 

 more delicate than A. mitis, to which it bears some resemblance. 



3. Agaricus cerodes, Fr. Ep. p. 195; Salle, no. 13. On the 

 ground. 



4. Agaricus (Psalliota) Sallei, n. s. Pileo tenui campanulato 

 squamuloso-furfuraceo acute umbonato ; stipite tenui deorsum 

 leviter incrassato ; annulo submedio ; lamellis remotis. Salle, 

 no. 14. On dead wood. 



Pileus 3 inches across, thin, campanulate, furnished with a 

 narrow but strong umbo ; clothed with minute branlike scales. 

 Stem 4 inches high, 2 lines or more thick, slender, slightly in- 

 crassated below, curved ; ring deflexed, persistent, attached a little 

 above the middle of the stem. Gills moderately broad, free, 

 remote, leaving a large naked space round the top of the stem. 

 Spores purple-brown, broadly elliptic, with one side nearly 

 straight, ^ ~j yth of an inch long, 7 o\j yth broad. 



This very fine species has exactly the habit of a Lcpiota, to 

 which tribe I supposed it to belong before examining the spores. 

 Its nearest ally is A. cretaceuS. It is curious that one or two 

 undoubted Psalliota have white spores under certain conditions. 

 This is indeed the case with A. cretaceus, which has, after exa- 

 mination of the spores, been sent to me as a Lepiota. Ag.fumoso- 

 purpureus, Lasch, is another instance, and others might be 

 brought forward. 



5. Agaricus campestris, L. ; Salle, no. 25. On the ground. A 

 small variety. 



6. Hiatula minima, n. s. Minor; pileo umbilicato, margine 

 crenato; stipite gracillimo; lamellis pauciusculis remotissimis. 

 Salle', no. 33. 



Pileus ^ of an inch broad, very delicate, umbilicate ; stem 1 

 inch high, not a line thick. Gills about forty, narrow, some- 

 times forked, free, leaving a large orbicular naked space round 

 the top of the stem, which has apparently no ring. 



There is but a single specimen of this extremely delicate spe- 

 cies, which is far less than the others. Ag. discretus and Ag. Ben- 

 zonii are the types of the genus, of which Hiatula fragilissima, 

 Ravenel, is a beautiful representation from South Carolina. 



7. Marasmius hcematocephalus, Mont. Fr. Ep. p. 3&2 ; Salle, 

 no. 1. On little twigs. A single specimen only. 



8. Lentinus villosus, Klotzsch ; Fr. Ep. p. 388 ; Salle, no. 6, 7.
