(422) 
is taken in the same sense as in the Sy//oge, but it is an in- 
congruous group, separated from the other ochraceous-spored 
genera solely by the deliquescent lamellae. This is not a 
well-marked character, as it is dependent to some extent on 
weather conditions and it often appears in a less degree in 
undoubted species of Galera and Pluteolus. 
51. PLUTEOLUS (Fries) Gillet, Champ. Fr.1: 549. 1876. 
Putrescent: pileus fleshy, margin appressed when young, 
not incurved: lamellae free: spores ochraceous, ferruginous 
or cinnamon: veil none: stipe central, slender, tubular, the 
cortex cartilaginous. 
Type, P. retrculatus (Pers.) Gillet. (Syll. 5: 859.) 
This is used as in the Syl/oge. 
52. GALERELLA gen. nov. 
Putrescent: pileus thin, the margin at first appressed not 
incurved, plicate-sulcate, splitting on the back of the Jamellae 
as in Coprinopsis: lamellae adnexed or adnate: spores 
ochraceous or cinnamon: veil none: stipe central, slender, 
tubular, with a cartilaginous cortex. 
Type, Agaricus coprinoztdes Peck, Rep. N. Y. State Mus. 
26: 54. 1874. (Syll. 5: 867, as Galera coprinozdes.) 
This is segregated from Galera on account of the plicate- 
sulcate pileus which splits on the back of the lamellae 
towards the margin, as in Coprznopszs. It probably includes 
several North American species.

1889. 
Galera (Fries) Quél. 1872. Not Galera Blume. 1828. 
Putrescent: pileus thin, conic-campanulate, the margin at 
first appressed, not incurved: lamellae attached to a conical 
enlargement at apex or stipe: spores ochraceous or cinna- 
mon: veil none: stipe central, slender, tubular, cortex car- 
tilaginous, the apex conically enlarged. 
Type, Galera tenera (Bull.). (Syll. 5: 860.)
