* Besides the above Nos. 38, 39, I find a species on tlie borders of fir-woods 

 •without the scent cf new meal, with tlie following characters. Pileus umbo- 

 nate, dark red-brown, sometimes minutely squamulose, but scarcely streaked ; 

 stem solid at first, then hollow, mealy and white above, fibrillose below ; gills 

 emarginate, with a decurrent tooth. Further study will alone show whether 

 this ia a distinct species.
