umbonato subundulato cervino sericeo-nitente subsqnamuloso ; 

 stipite subsequali pallido striatulo solido fibroso ; lamellis pal- 

 lidis albo marginatis denticulatis adnatis. 



On the ground, amongst fir-leaves. Aboyne, Aberdeenshire, 

 Aug. 19, 1862. 



Smell farinaceous, rather disagreeable. Spores even, sub- 

 elliptic, -00029 inch long. 



It differs from A. fastigiatus in the adnate gills, smooth, not 



rough, spores ; and from A. Curreyi, with which it agrees as to 



the spores, in its strongly umbonate pileus, nearly equal stem, 



and adnate gills.

 c. spores highly magnified. 



1005. A. (Hebeloma) vatricosus, Fr. Ep. p. 177. 



On dead stumps. Bodelwyddan, Flintshire, Sept. 2, 1863. 



Before the veil is ruptured, it looks like a smooth Lepiota. 

 An excellent drawing of this species has been sent to us by 

 Fries. 



1006. A. (Flammula) sapineus, Fr. Syst. Myc. vol. i. p. 239. 

 On fallen branches of Scotch fir, and chips and sawdust about 



a saw-pit. Aboyne, Aberdeenshire, Aug. 1863. 



Our plant agrees exactly with the figure in Persoon's Ic. 

 et Descr. t. 4. fig. 7. The species, as Fries says, is extremely 

 variable, especially as to the breadth and mode of attachment 

 of the gills. It is a very interesting addition to our flora, and 

 remarkable, like A, spectabilis, for the bright colour of the 

 spores. 



1007. A. (Naucoria) sideroides, Bull. t. 588. 



On the trunk of an ash-tree. Apethorpe, Norths., Nov. 23, 

 1863, with Agaiicus hiemalis. 



Probably common. Much thicker than A. hypnoruniy which 

 it somewhat resembles. 



1008. A. (Galera) Sphagnorunif Pers. Syn. p. 385 ; Bull, 

 t. 560. H. 



On Sphagnum on the borders of a pine-w^ood. Aboyne, Aber- 

 deenshire, Aug. 1862. 



1009. A, (Psalliota) elvensis, n. s. Csespitosus ; pileo e sub- 

 globoso hemisphserico fibrilloso in squamas magnas fuscas dif- 

 fracto, medio areolato, margine crasso pyramidali-verrucoso ; 

 stipite deorsum fibrilloso, annulo amplissimo subtus areolato- 

 verrucoso ; lamellis liberis carneo-fuscis. 



Under oak trees. Bodelwyddan, Sept. 2, 1863. 



Tufted. Pileus at first subglobose, then hemispherical, 6 inches 

 or more across, fibrillose, broken up into large persistent brown, 

 not fusco-citrinous, scales, areolate in the centre ; margin very 

 obtuse, thick, covered with pyramidal warts j stem at first nearly
