The color in alcohol is a dark brownish-black, a very little paler be- 

 neath, and thickly anil irre;,'nlarly si>rinkled on the sides with plma-

 less iinmerous above and below, sometimes nearly waiitin;,^; sometimes 

 they are larger than as described, and look not unlike patches of a <,'ray- 

 ish lichen growing on the sides.
