a. Fermanagh (Sheet 18, Nos. 3 & 4; and Portlock's ' Geol. 

 Report,' pi. 24. fig. 13 c). Grey shale. Leperditia suhrecta and 

 L. Scotoburdigalensis. 



b. Kilkenny (Sheet 31/4) ; south of Knocktopher, and about

1104. Agaricus (Amanita) lenticularis, Lasch in Linn. 1827, 

 No. 18. 



Coed Coch, Oct. 1866. 



A single specimen of this magnificent species, according ex- 

 actly with a figure received from Fries, occurred last autumn in 

 the plantations surrounding the gardens at Coed Coch. It is 

 remarkable for the great development of the ring and the 

 smooth pinkish-tan pileus. 



1105. A. (Lepiota) Friesii, Lasch in Linn. 1828, no. 9. 

 Jedburgh, A. Jerdon, Esq. 



1106. A. (Tricholoma) saponaceus, Fr. Ep. p. 35. 

 In woods. King's Clifi'e, Sept. 1, 1865. 



This occurred in great profusion and perfection. A. graveo- 

 lens, Sow., which is quoted under A. saponaceus by Fries, is 

 undoubtedly A. gambosus, as appears from the original drawing 

 and the notes which accompany it. 



1107. A. (Clitocybe) pithyophilus, Fr. Ep. p. 62. 

 In fir-woods. Coed Coch, Oct. 19, 1865. 



1108. A. (Clitocybe) truUaformis, Fr. Ep. p. 68. 



On the border of a fir- wood. Coed Coch, Oct. 27, 1865. 



The rather distant gills, which are connected with veins and 

 infundibuliform pileus, distinguish this species, which is not 

 hygrophanous. 



*A. (Clitocybe) inversus, Scop. Carn. p. 445. 



Several tufts of this species occurred late in the year at 



4*
