Bare Fungi Found at St. Andrew's, N.B. 333 



books described anything like it except Mcllvaine, who 

 included in his Cantharellus group a Cantharellus bre- 

 vipes Peck, but his description differed so as to size, 

 form, length of stem, and several other minor features 

 and his illustration did not resemble our specimen, al- 

 though his was described as lilac-tinged — that we gave 

 up the identification in despair and sent one or two of 

 the mushrooms to Prof. Peck. He was away from Al- 

 bany on field work at the time, and when he returned, 

 the specimens were too decayed to recognize. He wrote 

 that he was much interested in my description, and 

 asked that more specimens should be sent. The group 

 my father found consisted of 8 or 9 individuals, and 

 we had plucked them all in our study of them, so there 

 were no more to send, and diligent search everywhere in 

 likely habitats failed to discover any more. Each year 

 about the time of the date of their finding, we looked in 

 the old place, but none appeared until four years later, 

 when my father in passing the spot found a group, again 

 consisting of 8 or 9 individuals. This time we were 

 more fortunate in getting fresh specimens to Prof. Peck, 

 who said they were very finely developed examples of C. 

 brevipes. He had seen it only once before, when he had 

 described it in the New York State Botanist' 23rd re- 

 port. It was a gratification to learn that our find was 

 so rare a species. 



Of Marasmius, we find three species, only one of 

 which the M. cohaerens of Fries is uncommon. That we 

 have only once observed in late autumn when heavy 

 rains had long prevailed. Of the few remaining rather 

 insignificant genera of the Leucosporae, Lentinus is the 

 only one represented with us by a single ordinary species 

 'lepideus Fries. 



Proceeding to Ehodosporese, the rosy-spored Agarics, 

 we have found no representatives of Yolvaria, Pluteus 

 or Entoloma, but of Clitopilus or Sweetbread mushroom 

 we have three common varieties. 



Of Ochrosporea? — brown-spored, the group Pholi-
