Additions to the Fungi of the Border. By Archtbald 

 Jerdon. 



Agaricus ( Tricholomd) humilis, Fr. On the lawn at High- 

 field, Melrose, October 1868. 



Agaricus ( Collybria) plexipes, Fr. In woods near Melrose, 

 October 1868, — new to Britain. 



Agaricus {Pholiota) marginatus, Batoch. On a stump and 

 on the ground. Wood near Melrose, October 1868. 



Agaricus {Ileheloma) geophyllus, Sow. Var. lateritius. 

 This variety occurred in considerable abundance, in woods 

 near Melrose, this autumn, growing in similar situations with 

 the common form, and often in company with it. It is a 

 much stouter plant however, and is invariably tinged with 

 red at some stage of its growth. 



Agaricus {Flatnmula) belomorphus, Seer. Under Fir trees. 

 Woods near Melrose, November 1868. New to Britain. 



Agaricus {Naucaria) Cucumis, P. On the ground in 

 woods near Melrose, October, 1868. A pretty species when 

 fresh, but. losing its bright colour when dry. 



Agaricus (Hypholoma) capnoides, Fr. This species 

 appears to be common on Fir stumps, almost everywhere. 

 It may be distinguished from A.fascicularis, which it much 

 resembles, by the want of the yellow tint which pervades 

 the flesh and gills of that species. 



Agaricus {Psathyrella) gracilis, Fr. In woods among 

 grass. Not uncommon. 



Hygrophorus cerasinus, B. In woods near Melrose, under 

 Fir trees, October, 1868. A curious species, first discovered 

 by the Rev. M. J. Berkeley, with an odour of Laurel leaves. 



Lacterius mitissimus, Fr. Under Fir trees in a wood near 

 Melrose. A pretty species. 



Tympanis Fraxini, Schwein. On dead stems of Ash. 



Ascobolus carneus, P. On cow dung, — a minute species. 



Phacidium ahietinum, Fr. On leaves of Scotch Fir. 

 Wood near Jedburgh. New to Britain. 



Valsa dissepta, Fr. On dead stems of Elm. 



Sphceria stipata, Currey. Remarkable for the dark colour 

 of the contents of the perithecia.
