LACTARIAE ОЕ THE UNITED STATES 3 
examination the type specimens of his two Michigan species, 
while Kauffman sent his collection of Lactariae from Michigan. 
Through the courtesy of Dr. Bessey, I was enabled to examine the 
type of L. vi//osus Clements. Professor L. R. Jones kindly loaned 
the specimens of Lactariae іп the herbarium of the University of 
Vermont, and Hanmer allowed me the privilege of examining his 
entire collection of Lactariae from Connecticut, including the speci- 
mens from which the determinations were made in the White list.* 
Through the courtesy of Professor Peck, I was greatly assisted 
in examining the herbarium of the N. Y. State Museum at Albany. 
In addition to the New York specimens it includes species from 
several other states. Here are found the Peck type specimens. 
Professor Peck also furnished me with additional notes upon some 
of these, as will appear under the species. I found that in the 
Schweinitz herbarium, which is at the Academy of Natural Sciences 
of Philadelphia, not a specimen of ZLac/aria remains. The Herbst 
collection of fungi from near Allentown, Pennsylvania, has recently 
been turned over to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila- 
delphia, and, although it has not yet been systematically arranged, I 
was able with the assistance of Mr. Stewardson Brown to pick out 
the Lactariae which it contains. Only three specimens given in his 
list are represented, but there are four in the collection which are 
notlisted. Тһе Frost collection of fungi is now accessible at the 
University of Vermont, at Burlington. It contains in good con- 
dition specimens of /. Aygrophoroides B. & C., Г. scrobiculata 
(Scop.) Fr., Г. zusu/sa Fr., and Г. pergamena (Swartz) Fr. ; in poor 
condition, Г. ¢rivialis Fr. and Г. theiogala (Bull.) Fr. ; also, four 
species indicated as new, one with a brief description. Тһе last are 
so covered with mold, however, as to conceal the specific char- 
acteristics. 
Unfortunately, the specimens from which the determinations 
were made іп the lists of Lactariae from some of the western states 
have not been preserved. This is true of Bundy's Wisconsin 
list of fungi,t Johnson's Mycological Flora of Minnesota,] the
