of our species as are not described in any of our manuals. These 
descriptions and remarks on the genus will be found in another 
part of the report. 
Daphne mezereum L. 
Gravesville, Herkimer co. Mrs M. 8. DeCoster. The spurge 
laurel or mezereon is an introduced shrub. It is sometimes culti- 
vated but escapes from cultivation and grows wild. 
Entoloma griseum n. sp. 
Pileus fleshy, firm, broadly campanulate or convex, obtuse or 
slightly umbonate, glabrous, often irregular, hygrophanous, 
grayish brown when moist, paler when dry, flesh whitish, odor 
and taste farinaceous; lamellae adnexed, emarginate, with a de- 
current tooth, about 2 lines broad, pale pink; stem equal or 
slightly tapering upward, silky fibrillose, pruinose or mealy at 
the top, stuffed or hollow, grayish white; spores angular, nearly 
as broad as long, .0008 of an inch long. 
Pileus 1-3 inches broad; stem 1-2 inches long, 3-5 lines thick. 
Under spruce and balsam fir trees. Lake Pleasant. August. 
It is closely related to E. grayanum from which it may be 
separated by its darker color, more narrow gills and different 
place of growth. 
Euonymus obovatus Nutt. 
Woods. Silver creek, Chautauqua co. L. W. Habn. 
This decumbent or trailing shrub was reported by Dr Torrey to 
belong to our flora, but he considered it a mere variety of 
Kuonymus americanus. It is now regarded as a dis- 
tinct species differing from the strawberry bush in its smaller 
flowers, obtuse and more finely crenulate leaves, earlier time of 
flowering and decumbent or trailing mode of growth. 
Geoglossum farlowi Cke. 
Fishers island, Suffolk co. September. C. C. Hanmer. This 
fungus is much like G. hirsutum in external appearance, but 
its spores have but three septa. 
Haplosporeila maclurae E. & B. 
Dead stems of wistaria. Geneva. April. F.C. Stewart.
