150 MESSRS. BERKELEY AND BROOME ON SOME 
2. A. (LEPIOTA) DOLICHAULUS, Berk. & Br.: pileo carnoso expanso umbonato, centro 
glabro, alias punctato-squamuloso, margine lacerato appendiculato, carne alba 
immutabili; stipite elongato stricto, (basi excepta) subæquali, apice penetrante ; 
flocculoso-punctato cavo; annulo amplissimo deflexo lacerato; lamellis latis ventri- 
cosis remotissimis. (Thwaites, Ceylon, no. 694.) 
Hab. On the ground amongst grass, July 1868, Peradeniya. 
Whole plant, with the exception of the pallid umbo and scales of the pileus, white. 
Pileus 4 inches across; flesh nearly 3 inch thick; stem 8 inches high, 3 thick, slightly 
bulbous at the base, where there are occasionally a few fragments of the ring. Gills 4 
inch broad in the centre; spores :00057 inch long. Mycelium thread-like, white. 
Allied to Agaricus gracilentus, but differing in the appendiculate ragged margin, the 
very broad persistent ring, and the deep pit in which the apex of the stem is sunk, as in 
A. procerus. 
3. A. (LEPIOTA) MANICATUS, Berk. € Br.: pileo convexo obtusissimo carnoso, toto 
floccoso-verrucoso, verrucis centro pyramidatis, in margine diffracto appendiculato 
angustioribus; carne alba; stipite subæquali stricto, subter annulum angustum 
superum floccoso-manicato, deorsum pubescente, hie illic leviter squamuloso, solido; 
lamellis lanceolatis pallide carneis approximatis acie crenulatis. (Thwaites, Ceylon, 
no. 691.) : 
Hab. On the ground, July 1868, Peradeniya. 
Pileus 23 inches across; stem 2 inches high, 4 thick, yellowish-brown like the pileus ; 
gills + inch broad in the centre. 
Allied to Agaricus hispidus, from which it differs in the split appendiculate margin, 
the thicker flesh, and the curious muff on the stem just below the ring. According to 
the characters given by Fries in the * Epierisis, there should be an umbo in 4. hispidus ; 
but there is no trace of one in the drawing deposited in the Swedish Museum. 
4. A. (LEPIOTA) THELOIDES, Berk. & Br.: pileo e campanulato expanso fortiter umbonato 
subcarnoso squamulis nigris notato, margine sulcato ; carne alba immutabili; stipite 
fistuloso tenui glabro candido, annulo angusto infero persistente; lamellis antice 
latioribus, postice attenuatis subremotis candidis. (Thwaites, Ceylon, no. 688.) 
Hab. On the ground, July 1868, Peradeniya. : 
Pileus nearly 3 inches across; stem 3) inches high, 21 lines thick ; stem collecting à 
little soil at the base by means of the white mycelium ; margin of pileus slightly inflexed. 
Spores :0003--0004. 
Allied to Agaricus clypeolarius, but differing in the smooth stem, sulcate margin, and 
decidedly remote gills. 
5. A. (LEPIOTA) PARDALOTUS, Berk. & Br.: pileo carnoso depresso squamis fuscis notato, 
centro pyramidatis, margine punctiformibus; stipite subvalido subæquali solido 
fibrilloso, basin versus fusco-punetato; annulo evanido; lamellis approximatis yen- 
trieosis. (Thwaites, Ceylon, no. 693.) 
Hab. On the ground, Peradeniya, July 1868. 
Pileus 23 inches across, dark brown except occasionally in the interstices of the scales ;
