thickened or bullions base, silky-fibrillose, whitish; spores .0004 to 

 .000.5 in. long, .0003 broad. 



Pileus 1 to 3 in. broad; stem 2 to 3 in. long, 3 to lines thick. 



Mossy ground under balsam trees. Wittenberg mountain. 

 September, 

 p The tibrils of the pileus are similar to those of C. paleaceu.% but the 

 j)lant is much larger and stouter, and the spores are larger than in 

 that species. It is well marked by its grayish color. 



Cortinarius badius, n. sp. 



Pileus thin, at first conical, then convex or broadly campanulate, 

 umbonate, hygrophanous, blackish-chestnut color when moist, bay-red 

 or chestnut color when dry, sometimes tinged with gray, the umbo 

 darker, usually whitish-silky on the margin when young, tlesh, when 

 moist, colored like the pileus; lamellee broad, subdistant, ventricose, 

 adnexed, at first yellowish or cream-color, then subochraceous ; stem 

 slender, equal, hollow, silky-fibrillose and subannulat« by the whitish 

 veil, when old colored like the j^ileus both without and within; spores 

 .0005 in. long, .0003 broad. 



j^ Pileus 8 to 12 lines broad; stem 1 to 1.5 in. long, about 1 line thick. 



P Mossy ground. Catskill mountains. Septemlier. 



The species is related to 0. nigrellus, from which it differs in its 

 broad lamellse which are paler in the young plant and in its larger 

 spores. 



Cortinarius subflexipes, n. .«p. 



; Pileus thin, conical, then expanded and subacutely umbonate, 

 hygrophanous, blackish-brown with the thin margin whitened by the 

 ; veil when moist, subochraceous when dry; lamellae thin, close, ventri- 

 cose, adnexed, at first reddish-violaceous, then cinnamon; stem equal, 

 flexuous, silky, shining, sul)annulate by the Avhitish veil, pale 

 violaceous when young, pallid or reddish when old; spores .00024 to 

 .0003 in. long; .0002 broad. 



Pileus 6 to 10 lines broad; stem 1 to 1.5 in. long, about 1 line tliic-k. 



Thin woods. Catskill mountains. September. 



Apparently related to C. ftexipea, from which I \\i\\v siparatcd u 

 liocause of its more glabrous pileus and different lamelhr. It and the 

 two preceding species are referred to the tx*ibe Telamouia. 



Cortinarius paleaceus, Fr. 

 Mossy or bare ground in open places. Catskill mountains. Sep-
