Gompuipius viscipus Fr. There is a large wholly coloured 
drawing of this species, but not the original of the plate, as it 
right of plate is three inches taller, and 3 in. more in diameter 
than plate. The gills, correctly coloured dull purple on the plate, 
are olive on the original. There isa large example, 7 in. x 44 in., 
on the drawing.

111. Botrerus recius Krom. There is a fine original of this 
where the pileus is 1} in. more in diameter, and the stem 2 in. 
aa in height and 4 in. more in diameter. The section is 2} in. 
n the drawing, and the pileus 2 in. more across. There is a 
petiell sikabak behind with a pileus 9 in. in diameter—very different 
from the 5} in. of plate. Fries refers this plate to f Sag: Bull.,

the gills are pallid and nearly free; in the plate they are re yalline: and 
adnate od slightly decurrent. Under regius Fries says the tubes are 
eris”’; but in Krombholz’s own figure—t. 7—from which 
Fries diteee up his description, the gills are really adnate, as in 
Sowerby’s drawing. Sowerby’s illustration also agrees with my 
Journat or Borany.—Vou, 43. (June, 1905.) _ )
